Kaushik explained that Dhurandhar focuses on corrupt individuals misusing situations to attack India—not on blaming an entire community.
This thoughtful approach has earned support from Pakistani audiences.
On top of that, Dhurandhar has smashed it at the box office, earning over ₹600 crore in India and is on track to hit ₹1,000 crore worldwide.
