‘A’ certification also became a hurdle

The earnings of ‘Dhurandhar 2’ also became a hurdle in ‘A’ certification. A certification means that it can be seen only by 18+ viewers. Because of this the family members could not watch this film. Because of this, a large group of young audiences and family audiences stayed away from theatres. In such a situation, where 4-5 tickets were to be booked, only one ticket was booked due to A certification, which affected the earnings of the film. This has also been considered a barrier in the film’s earnings.

movie run time

The strength of the story is important for a film to be a hit or flop and its run time also matters. ‘Dhurandhar 2’ is a film of about 4 hours. The run time of the film is 3 hours 49 minutes, in which tremendous action and bloodshed is shown. Even today, there are many viewers in the society who are unable to watch violence and it is also difficult for people to sit in theaters for about 4 hours. Even before this, films like ‘LOC Kargil’ were released, in which only 4 hours of bloodshed continued. This film proved to be a flop.

‘Dhurandhar’ became a hit franchise

According to Sacknilk, even though ‘Dhurandhar’ could not break the records of ‘Dangal’ and ‘Baahubali 2’. But it has become a hit franchise of Indian cinema. ‘Dhurandhar’ franchise has become the highest grossing. Both its parts have done business of more than Rs 3000 crore.
