1000 Cr Alright, But What About Hero’s Next Film?

Bollywood has produced its biggest blockbuster of all time in the form of Dhurandhar and it’s creating an absolute sensation at the global box office. The film is on track for Rs 1000 crore returns at the box office and the discussion gad started about the next film from Ranveer.

Calling Ranveer Singh a superstar solely because Dhurandhar crossed the 1000 crore mark would be premature. While the film’s staggering box office performance is a landmark moment in his career, superstardom in Indian cinema is defined by sustained consistency, not a single historic success.

Dhurandhar worked on multiple levels the scale of the story, the director’s vision, strong word of mouth and perfect timing all contributed to its phenomenal run. Ranveer’s performance was central, but the film itself became a cultural event beyond just star power.

That said, Dhurandhar has undoubtedly elevated Ranveer to a new league. Expectations around his next film are already massive. His upcoming project after Dhurandhar will naturally enjoy higher pre release buzz, stronger advance bookings and greater audience curiosity.

Trade circles expect a solid to strong opening purely due to the goodwill generated by Dhurandhar. However, a bumper opening is not guaranteed by reputation alone. Genre, music, promotions and the overall theatrical appeal will still play a decisive role.

True superstardom is proven when an actor delivers big openings repeatedly, even with modest content, and maintains box office authority over multiple films.

If Ranveer’s next film opens big and he follows it up with two or three successful releases, the superstar tag will come naturally. For now, he stands as one of the most bankable and respected stars, with Dhurandhar acting as a powerful launchpad rather than final validation.
