Dhurandhar 2: New example of international success of Indian cinema

Mumbai: The magic of the Indian film industry is no longer limited to the country’s borders. Recently released Ranveer Singh’s film ‘Dhurandhar 2’ has made a tremendous impact in foreign countries as well, due to which the audience is ready to watch the film for hours. The enthusiasm that has been seen towards this film in Hong Kong is unique. Seeing the craze of the audience, a theater here has organized a special event called ‘Dhurandhar Marathon’, in which both the films of Aditya Dhar are being screened back to back. This screening is approximately 8 hours long.

For the convenience of the spectators, three breaks have also been included in this marathon, so that people can enjoy this long experience. This step shows to what level people’s passion for the film has reached.

Unique achievement without subtitles

Record broken even without subtitles

What Dhurandhar 2 has achieved in Hong Kong is even more astonishing. The film has become the first Indian film to cross the $1 million mark without Chinese subtitles. This achievement is significant because subtitles are generally considered essential for foreign audiences. But the story, action and presentation of ‘Dhurandhar 2’ is so impressive that even the language barrier could not stop it. This success is a big sign for Indian films that good storytelling and strong presentation can easily attract international audiences.

Earning crores in limited screening

Earning crores from just two theaters

Another interesting aspect of the success of Dhurandhar 2 is that the film was released in only two theaters in Hong Kong. Despite this, the film has grossed close to $2 million. This figure shows how high the craze for the film is despite limited screenings. The audience is coming to watch the film again and again by buying tickets, due to which its earnings are continuously increasing. Now that Chinese subtitles have also been added to the film, it is expected that its collection will increase rapidly.

Great performance at global level

Dhurandhar 2 is performing brilliantly not only in Hong Kong but in many countries across the world. This film has also broken records in markets like America and Australia. The film has collected more than 37 million dollars i.e. about Rs 350 crore in the overseas market. This figure makes it among the most successful Indian films of all time.

This success has also given tough competition to films like ‘Bahubali 2’, ‘Pushpa 2’ and ‘Jawaan Pathan’. This shows that if the content is strong, a film can cross every boundary.
