There is something significant about Mumbai's response to Dhurandhar — because Mumbai is the city that made Bollywood, and Dhurandhar is a film that is challenging what Bollywood can be. The city's response has been both enormous (some of the biggest single-screen and multiplex audiences in the country) and nuanced (Mumbai's media and critical community is where most of the propaganda debate has been sharpest).
Box Office in Mumbai
Mumbai contributed significantly to Dhurandhar's record box office. The film performed exceptionally across both multiplexes in South Mumbai and single-screen theatres in the suburbs, suggesting broad cross-demographic appeal within the city.
The Critical Community's Response
Mumbai's film critics — concentrated in English-language media — have been among the most sceptical voices on Dhurandhar, questioning its political framing and glorification of certain methods. This has created a visible divide between critical and popular response within the city itself.
Ranveer Singh's Home City
Ranveer Singh is a Mumbaikar, and the city's connection to its own star adds an emotional dimension to the local response. Many Mumbai audiences report the performance feeling deeply personal — pride in what a Mumbai boy has achieved.
