Ranveer Singh's much-anticipated spy thriller, Dhurandhar, is scheduled to hit theaters on December 5th. The film has already generated excitement on social media with its trailer and music. Directed by Aditya Dhar, fans are eagerly looking forward to this cinematic experience. During the trailer launch event in Mumbai last month, Aditya emphasized that Dhurandhar represents a pivotal moment for India on the global stage.

Is Dhurandhar the longest film in recent history?
This film is being hailed as the longest release in 17 years, with a runtime of 3 hours and 34 minutes. The previous record was held by Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai's "Jodhaa Akbar," which ran for 3 hours and 33 minutes. The film has also received approval from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). Produced by Aditya Dhar, the cast includes notable actors such as Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Akshaye Khanna, and Arjun Rampal, along with supporting roles from Sara, Arjun, and Rakesh Bedi. To heighten anticipation, ticket bookings have already commenced.
Advance Ticket Sales Surge
What are the advance ticket sales figures?
In terms of pre-bookings, reports from SacNilk indicate a remarkable 394% increase in ticket sales over the past 36 hours. By 6 p.m. on Monday, 9,274 tickets had been sold, which surged to 45,811 by 10 a.m. on Wednesday. The film has garnered ₹2.59 crore (approximately US$2.59 million) without block seats, and with block seats included, the total has reached ₹4.24 crore (around US$4.24 million).
