DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE finally hit the 1000 crore nett mark in its eighth weekend. Although this number would have been declared weeks ago, but that side of the box office has become a bit of a joke now. Actually, makers cant be blamed as expectations are crazy and then you have these posters from South films which makes a mockery of it all. For Hindi when you have PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE type reporting, it was a given that it would go haywire and rest would follow the same pattern.

Irrespective of this, the film is actually the first 1000 crore nett film ever in Hindi. The first original Hindi film ever to hit 1 crore nett was AAN in 1952 and 74 years later its 1000 crore with DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE. The other big benchmarks like these were 10 crore nett in 1975 by SHOLAY and 100 crore nett by GHAJINI in 2008. The 10000 crore nett mark will be hit one day also but we will not be alive to see that.

The film is the biggest blockbuster for Hindi cinema since GADAR - EK PREM KATHA in 2001. The film is being put up there with the likes of SHOLAY and GADAR but only time well. The film is not as big as those and more importantly those two passed the test of time like very few before. SHOLAY was remained a theatrical force many years after release and there is not much to say about GADAR (2001) as the results of GADAR 2 released 22 years later say it all. Even if it said what DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE has done today is similar to what SHOLAY did 1975 or GADAR did in 2001, the harder part is to remain huge with another generation all together in years to come. This is what very few films manage.
