Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar Franchise Opens to Under 900 Viewers in Japan Despite Global Success
Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar franchise, which has grossed over Rs 3,100 crore worldwide, experienced a disappointing opening in Japan on July 10. Despite wide release across nearly 80 screens and extensive promotion, the film attracted fewer than 900 viewers on its first day, failing to enter Japan's top 25 films or rank among the top 10 Indian openers. Factors such as the lack of a dubbed version may have influenced the muted response, contrasting with the franchise's strong global performance.
