Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar Franchise Sees Low Opening Day Attendance in Japan Despite Global Success
Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar franchise has achieved over Rs 3,100 crore worldwide, marking significant global success. However, the film's release in Japan on July 10 saw a disappointing start, with fewer than 900 viewers attending across nearly 80 screens on opening day. Despite extensive promotion, Dhurandhar failed to enter Japan's top 25 films or rank among the top 10 Indian film openers there. This contrasts with stronger performances by other Indian films like RRR and Tiger 3 in the Japanese market.
