Dhurandhar vs Animal: Ranbir Kapoor Damaging Ranveer?

Dhurandhar movie promotional still

Dhurandhar remains one of the most awaited films of the year, yet the buzz around it stays uneven. Each time the team drops new promotional material, the hype rises sharply and drops again within hours, leaving fans confused about the film’s momentum.

Fans online say the film’s pre-booking numbers have barely crossed one crore without block bookings. They highlight that the average ticket price is around 365 rupees, yet the advance bookings have not crossed the mark organically. They believe most early numbers come from mass bookings arranged by the makers.

Anyone who points this out faces instant backlash from Ranveer Singh stans, who fans suspect are part of a PR-driven bot force. These accounts flood comment sections with praise for the actor, attacking anyone who questions the film’s current performance.

Fans insist they are excited for the film, but they refuse to stay silent when things seem off. They say poor promotions, weak ticket sales, and unnecessary antics from the lead actor only add to the problem. They argue that calling this out does not justify organised online attacks.

Many expected a stronger start for Dhurandhar, given its massive cast and scale. Fans earlier predicted a 30–32 crore net opening. With the present advance bookings, they now expect a more grounded opening in the range of 16–18 crores.

Some also noticed that Jio Studios removed the Dhurandhar trailer from several cinema halls after a weak response, replacing it with the teaser again. They view this as a sign of insecurity from the makers as the release date approaches.

Beyond this, fans believe Ranbir Kapoor’s PR team has used the situation to stir conversation. These accounts compare Dhurandhar to Animal, highlighting its opening day figure of 57 crores and claiming Ranveer Singh cannot match that level of stardom.

The clash has now turned into a full-fledged fan war. Dhurandhar releases on 5 December, and the next few days will reveal whether Ranveer Singh can deliver a strong performance and reverse the current narrative.
