Why Dhurandhar Is Connecting With Audiences

- Director’s craft: Aditya Dhar’s taut direction and tight pacing (seen in his earlier work) create strong theatrical impact.
- Star power & ensemble: Ranveer’s mass pull combined with Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, R. Madhavan and others ensures wide reach.
- Strong WOM & repeat viewings: Weekday holds signal positive audience feedback beyond opening curiosity.
