Sara Arjun pens a note to the ‘unsung heroes’ of Dhurandhar

Sara Arjun took to Instagram and looked back upon her entire experience of filming the Dhurandhar duology.

She wrote, “The first time I ever met Aditya sir, there was a look in his eyes. I realised that he would do something special for cinema. At every single step of this journey, the sheer magnitude of that realisation revealed itself. But the peak detailing we all miss along the way hit me only when I looked back, after it was all said and done, and saw the army of people standing outside the frame. This post is dedicated to the unsung heroes of Durandhar 1 & 2 (sic).”

She then thanked Aditya Dhar, Shashwat Sachdev, Vikash Nowlakha, Ojas Gautam, and various others in her post.

Considering the latest figures, Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has emerged as one of the fastest-performing titles of recent times. The film clocked ₹988.84 crore India net and ₹1,183.81 crore India gross within just 18 days, along with a strong ₹385.00 crore from overseas markets. In comparison, its prequel, Dhurandhar 1, by Aditya Dhar, had collected ₹839.90 crore net and ₹1,007.85 crore gross over a much longer 78-day run, with an additional haul of ₹299.50 crore from overseas. Interestingly, Dhurandhar 1 had a higher show count of 494,578 but a lower average occupancy of 23.1%, in comparison with the sequel.

Among other major benchmarks, Pushpa: The Rule - Part 2 leads in overall totals with ₹1,234.10 crore net and ₹1,471.10 crore gross in a span of 65 days, with a much lower 24.5% occupancy. Similarly, Yash's KGF: Chapter 2 and Baahubali 2: The Conclusion posted ₹859.70 crore and ₹1,030.37 crore net respectively over longer runs of 53 and 50 days. Despite these strong lifetime numbers, Dhurandhar 2 stands out as the fastest and most efficient performer, dominating in terms of earning speed, occupancy, and overseas contribution.
