836 crores! That's insane. It's great to see a film with a strong patriotic message resonate so deeply with audiences. Aditya Dhar has come a long way from being a dialogue writer. Hard work pays off.

Respectfully, while the success is phenomenal, I hope the sequel focuses more on storytelling than just scale and star power. The first part had some pacing issues in the second half. Just my two cents.

This is the kind of news we need! A senior director appreciating the new generation. Priyadarshan's comedies are legendary, and now Aditya is making waves with action-drama. Both making India proud in different ways.

From 'Uri' to 'Dhurandhar', Aditya Dhar has a golden touch when it comes to patriotic films. The record-breaking collection proves audiences are hungry for quality content with a nationalistic core. Jai Hind!
