'Dhurandhar' Crossed ₹3,000 Crore Around the World, Then Opened in Japan to a Turnout Smaller than a Small-Town Shaadi
Trade reports said the big-budget action drama drew fewer than 900 people on opening day despite heavy promotion.
On Friday, the big-budget action drama Dhurandhar released across nearly 80 screens in Japan, yet attracted fewer than 900 viewers on its opening day.
Actor Ranveer Singh and director Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar franchise has grossed over ₹3,100 crore worldwide, yet the Japanese debut failed to mirror this domestic commercial success.
Trade reports indicate the film did not reach Japan's top 25, with only 449 tickets sold across 57 locations by 2 p.m. on the release day.
Mirroring the slow start of Pushpa 2, which also drew fewer than 900 viewers on its Japanese opening day, the film highlights challenges for high-profile Indian releases in the country.
Extensive promotional campaigns failed to drive audience interest, suggesting global popularity does not guarantee box office success in Japan, even for major releases with high expectations.
