'Dhamaka': All you need to know about Kartik Aaryan's movie
What's the story
In the trailer of Dhamaka, we could see that Kartik Aaryan is trying to break his image, and must say, he succeeds. Produced by Ronnie Screwvala, Ram Madhvani, and Amita Madhvani, Dhamaka will mark his debut on OTT. The movie has been jointly written by Puneet Sharma and Madhvani. It will exclusively premiere on Netflix in India on November 19. Here's all about it.
Plot
Bandra-Worli sea link at the center of a blast
Aaryan stars as an anchor named Arjun Pathak in the official remake of The Terror Live. The Korean movie, a 2013 release, had performed well. In the original, actor Ha Jung-Woo plays Yoon Young-Hwa, who covers a live broadcast of a terrorist attack and the Mapo Bridge explosion. The bridge in the Hindi version has been replaced with Bandra-Worli Sea Link, Mumbai.
Impact
'Dhamaka' trailer bagged 30 million views in 24 hours!
The gritty trailer, featuring Aaryan in his probably first raw and intense role, amassed over 30 million views within hours after its release. Within just two-three days, it grabbed more than 40 million views, which is a hard feat to achieve. Seeing such a massive response, the actor expressed his feelings on social media, wherein he wrote, "So grateful for all the love."
