At the box office, the first installment reportedly earned over Rs 1,307 crore worldwide, while Dhurandhar: The Revenge has already crossed Rs 1,790 crore globally and is still running in theatres

Veteran actor Mohan Kapur shared his thoughts on the massive success of Dhurandhar and admitted that he does not fully understand the overwhelming praise the film has received from audiences. Despite the spy thriller becoming one of Bollywood’s biggest box office blockbusters, the actor said he was not personally convinced by the film’s narrative.

Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar Ranveer Singh in the lead role alongside Arjun Rampal, R Madhavan, Sanjay Dutt, and others. The first installment released in December 2025 and went on to become a huge commercial success. Its sequel, released on March 19, 2026, has continued the momentum at the box office.

While the films have shattered multiple records globally, Mohan Kapur revealed that he was surprised by the level of appreciation the franchise received. During a conversation with Siddharth Kannan, the actor recalled watching the movie alone in a theatre before the sequel’s release.

"I watched the film alone in a theatre two weeks before the second part came out. It was the first time I had ever watched a film alone, and when I left the theatre, I honestly couldn’t understand why everyone was praising it so much. I just didn’t get it," he said.
