‘Dhurandhar’, headlined by Ranveer Singh, has crossed the mark of Rs 300 crore nett at the box office. Directed by Aditya Dhar of ‘Uri: The Surgical Strike’ fame, the film released in theatres on December 5 and also features Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, Arjun Rampal, Sara Arjun, R Madhavan and Rakesh Bedi.

It has been produced by Dhar and his brother Lokesh Dhar through their banner B62 Studios alongside Jyoti Deshpande of Jio Studios. Production banner shared the box office numbers on its official Instagram handle on Sunday (Dec 14), a PTI report stated yesterday.

The post comprised the film’s poster with the box office numbers written over it. The total collection of the film stands at Rs 306.40 crore nett.

“Rewriting history with the highest second Saturday record of all time! Book your tickets now. Link in bio. #Dhurandhar Roaring In Cinemas Worldwide,” read the caption.

The film revolves around an underworld saga following a network of criminals, informants and operatives whose lives intersect, navigating covert operations, espionage and betrayals.

Meanwhile, a PTI report from Karachi last week had stated that the film triggered a fierce debate in India and even across the border (in Pakistan), where the story is set, drawing criticism from Pakistani critics and social media users who claim that the movie has numerous factual inaccuracies and the makers have taken creative liberties.

Released on December 5, the film, featuring Ranveer Singh in the lead role, follows covert intelligence operations set against a backdrop of geopolitical and terror events like Kandahar plane hijack, 2001 Parliament Attack and 26/11 Mumbai attacks.

The film, which has led to polarising reactions from many critics and people in India, is mostly set in Lyari town of Karachi, an area known for its history of gang wars and violent turf battles.
