Ranveer Singh impresses fans with his ‘Ghost Born of Shadows’ look in Dhurandhar: The Revenge and the secret? – It is not CGI!

Ranveer Singh's ghost-like look in the movie Dhurandhar: The Revenge has been a big talking point since the film came out. Makeup artist and stylist Preeti Sheel has shared more about how that look was created, explaining that it wasn't done with computer-generated imagery, but through detailed practical special effects makeup.

Preeti Sheel shared pictures on social media with a caption that described the transformation.

 She wrote, "When your mind grows weary, illusion paints its lies in colours you ache to believe!! Transforming Ranveer Singh into a Ghost born of Shadows! Dhurandhar- The revenge." Her post has made people curious, since they thought the look was made with digital effects.

The "Ghost Born of Shadows" look has a cracked, textured surface, like burnt earth or ash, giving the character a creepy and strange feel.

 This realistic look, created using physical effects, has been praised for making the movie feel more real and engaging.

In the movie, this look appears in a very intense, psychological scene.

 Unlike the action scenes that the movie is known for, this scene is more about the characters' inner thoughts and feelings. The transformation isn't a disguise, but part of a hallucination that another character experiences while under the influence of drugs.

This scene plays a big part in the story.

 It shows how much emotional and moral pressure Ranveer's character, Jaskirat, is going through because of his secret mission. It also shows how hard it is for him to separate his real self from his fake identity, Hamza, making him unrecognizable to people from his past.

This scene also becomes a turning point in the story, leading to a major confrontation that changes the direction of the character's journey.

 Presenting Ranveer as a twisted, almost monstrous figure helps show the heavy psychological burden that the main character is carrying.

As audiences keep talking about this look and its meaning, the fact that it was made using practical effects instead of CGI adds another level to the movie's technical work, showing how much care went into creating one of its most memorable moments.

Box Office: Dhurandhar 2 races to Rs.405 crores in 4 days flat; redefines the number game in India

Ranveer Singh and Aditya Dhar's movie Dhurandhar has changed the way number games work in India. The film made a lot of money during its first four and a half days. On Saturday alone, it earned over 100 crores. On Sunday, it looks like it will make between 100 to 110 crores again.

Dhurandhar 2 is now at 405 crores in just four days.

 This is a new record for a single day for a movie, beating the previous best, which was the Saturday of Dhurandhar 2. The top three highest single days now are all from Dhurandhar 2—Sunday, Saturday, and Thursday. The total amount made in the first weekend is 405 crores. The film is expected to reach 500 crores in seven days and go up to 575 crores or more in the first week.

In nine days, the film could be in the top three all time, and maybe even become the top Hindi film ever in less than 14 days.

 That shows how well it is doing at the box office. It might even beat big hits like Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan and Pathaan in less than a week, as well as other big movies like Stree 2, Gadar 2, and Chhaava.

Here is the daily box office collection for Dhurandhar 2:

Wednesday: 45 crores  

Thursday: 80 crores  

Friday: 75 crores  

Saturday: 100 crores  

Sunday: 105 crores  

Total: 405 crores

Dhurandhar The Revenge beats highly anticipated Hollywood film Ready Or Not 2 overseas; brings Bahar to Mumbai’s Bahar cinema

Dhurandhar The Revenge is unstoppable; the film was expected to break records, yet the trade and industry are stunned by its box office performance. On Saturday, March 21, it set a new record by collecting Rs. 100 crore in a single day. The film's dominance is also being felt overseas, where it has managed to outgross a much-anticipated Hollywood sequel.

According to a report in Deadline, Ready or Not 2: Here I Come, a highly anticipated sequel, opened with $9 million.

 On the other hand, Dhurandhar The Revenge collected a huge $10.5 million. Dhurandhar's sequel was always set to open big, considering the response of the first part, which was released in December 2025. However, Ready Or Not 2: Here I Come, released by Fox Searclight Pictures, should have ideally opened bigger in foreign territories, considering the star cast (Sarah Michelle Gellar, Elijah Wood and Kathryn Newton). The fact that Dhurandhar The Revenge has gone past it only underlines the scale of its global craze.

Dhurandhar 2 brings Bahar to Bahar Cinema

Meanwhile, residents of Vile Parle East and Andheri East in Mumbai got a pleasant surprise as the popular Bahar Cinema will play four shows of Dhurandhar The Revenge on Sunday, March 22.

 This has never happened before since it commenced operations in November 2010.

According to an exhibition source, "Due to certain regulations of the commercial establishments in the cinema building, Bahar is allowed to play shows only after 5:00 pm.

 But with Dhurandhar The Revenge, they have made an exception. On Sunday, the film had four shows, at 8:00 am, 12:30 pm, 5:00 pm and 9:30 pm."

Source  was the first one to report that Dhurandhar The Revenge's post-midnight and early morning shows have been planned by several cinemas.

 As the film was released and went on a record-breaking spree, more theatres joined the bandwagon, probably for the first time. Kasturba Cinema in Malad hosted a 2:30 am show, while Woodland Cinemas in Virar, near Mumbai, arranged a 7:45 am screening on Sunday for eager moviegoers. Both shows were nearly sold out.

Dhurandhar The Revenge is produced by Jyoti Deshpande of Jio Studios and Aditya Dhar and Lokesh Dhar of B62 Studios.

 It is written and directed by Aditya Dhar.

Ramya slams Dhurandhar 2 as she calls it a ‘huge disappointment’; questions Ranveer Singh’s role

South actress Ramya, also known as Divya Spandana, has sparked online discussions after posting a strongly worded critique of *Dhurandhar 2*, the sequel to the 2025 action film. The movie, which premiered on March 19, has drawn considerable attention at the box office, yet Ramya's comments offer a contrasting perspective.

In a detailed social media post, Ramya took issue with the film's direction, performances, editing, and background score, describing it as exhausting to watch.

 She likened the experience to reading a textbook on the most boring subject with endless chapters, eventually prompting viewers' brains to give up and laugh at the sheer absurdity unfolding on screen.

She advised those interested in watching to avoid wasting time or money in theaters, suggesting it’s best suited for streaming, where escape is just a click away.

Comparing *Dhurandhar 2* to its predecessor, Ramya noted that the original had a strong energy and appeal, while the sequel failed to match its impact.

 She pointed out that the theater response reflected disappointment rather than excitement.

Ramya also questioned Ranveer Singh's role, stating, "What exactly is he carrying?

 Because all I could see was his hair. In the first part, his hair had personality, presence, character. In this one, it's just there. In the way. Of everything." She further criticized the film's excessive violence, claiming it felt like a visual handbook on creative brutality, with every object weaponized. She joked that the director seemed to be in a competition to make each scene more violent or comical than the last, with the violence escalating to a point where it stops being shocking and becomes amusing.

She concluded her critique by calling *Dhurandhar 2* a "huge disappointment," noting that while the first part had audiences cheering, the sequel might cause them to question its necessity.

 She also remarked that some thematic elements felt outdated, suggesting a hint of jingoism.

Directed by Aditya Dhar, *Dhurandhar: The Revenge* is a follow-up to the 2025 film and stars Ranveer Singh, Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, and Sara Arjun.

 The action thriller follows Jaskirat Singh Rangi as he infiltrates Karachi's underworld to dismantle a terror network, leading to a high-stakes confrontation with a powerful adversary. The film, released in multiple languages, continues its theatrical run amid mixed reviews.

Jio Studios’ Dhurandhar headed to hit Rs. 100 crore on Eid Day in Hindi – All Records Decimated

 The Ranveer Singh and Aditya Dhar film, Dhurandhar: The Revenge, is changing the way movies do business at the box office, as it continues to break records every day.

 After opening with Rs. 125 crore on Thursday (including paid previews), the action-packed film reached Rs. 75 crore on Friday, making the total for two days Rs. 200 crore. This success came before Eid, and the real boost came on Eid day itself.

According to early estimates, Dhurandhar is expected to collect around Rs. 100 crore on Saturday, making the total for three days reach Rs. 300 crore.

 This is a record-breaking amount and the largest three-day total in Hindi history. Dhurandhar 2 has also become the first movie to reach Rs. 80 crore, Rs. 90 crore, and Rs. 100 crore on separate days.

The film is aiming for another Rs. 100 crore on Sunday and is targeting an opening weekend that could hit around Rs. 400 crore, which would be historic as these numbers could remain unbeaten for a long time.

 Bookings for Sunday are also setting new records, and the film is showing huge momentum that will likely continue for weeks to come.

The film is on track to become the second highest-grossing Hindi film of all time in just one week and could then rise to the top spot by the second week.

 The numbers are so massive that it's hard to put them into words, and keep in mind, this is just the start of a new era in movie business, with a single-day Rs. 100 crore mark coming much earlier than anyone anticipated.
