On its first Tuesday, Dhurandhar did better business than Vicky Kaushal's Chhaava. The latter is the highest grossing Bollywood movie of all time and for Dhurandhar to be doing equal or better business is an indication that its collections can also touch the numbers Chhaava did earlier this year.  

Dhurandhar is inspired by true events of espionage

Released in theatres on December 5, the movie also features Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, Sara Arjun, R Madhavan and Rakesh Bedi. Set in Pakistan in the early 2000s, the film follows an Indian spy working to dismantle Karachi’s mafia network. The digital release rights have been bought by Netflix and as per a report by Bollywood Hungama, Netflix has paid ₹130 crore for the streaming rights of Dhurandhar. This includes both parts of the movie.
