There’s a new streaming king in town! Aditya Dhar’s ‘Dhurandhar’ has stormed Netflix, racking up numbers that left even the biggest names like ‘Animal’, ‘Fighter’, and ‘Pushpa 2: The Rule’ in the dust.
Premiering on January 30, the spy thriller hit 7.6 million views in its first weekend setting a new record for post-theatrical Hindi releases. It’s the first Indian film to cross the 7-million mark right out of the gate on a streaming platform.
