A spy thriller inspired by real events
Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar follows the story of Hamza, an Indian intelligence operative who goes undercover in Pakistan to dismantle a criminal network led by Rehman Dakait. The narrative draws inspiration from real-life incidents, including the 2001 Parliament attack and the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, lending the film a grounded and intense tone.
Box office success and sequel confirmed
Blending espionage, crime and intelligence drama, Dhurandhar has struck a chord with audiences nationwide. With strong performances from its star-studded cast, the film has already crossed ₹180 crore at the domestic box office, according to industry tracking reports. Riding high on its success, the makers have confirmed that a sequel is underway, with a theatrical release planned for March 19 next year.
