The runaway success of Baaghi 2, which hit the silver screen on 30th March, has surprised one and all. Not just the audience, but the entire film fraternity is also stunned to see the kind of unprecedented response the action entertainer has generated at the cash counter within three days of its release.
Tiger Shroff, who headlines the actioner along with Disha Patani, is overwhelmed by the love the audience has showered on the movie. The actor also expresses his gratitude towards his mentor and godfather Sajid Nadiadwala on social media.
The young star took to Instagram to post a story expressing his heartfelt gratitude towards his Godfather in the industry, Sajid Nadiadwala. "I want to thank Sajid Nadiadwala sir, my Godfather and father in the industry, who has given me a sort of rebirth in the industry. I'm very very thankful for him," he wrote.
For the uninitiated, Baaghi 2 has been produced by Sajid Nadiadwala who launched Tiger Shroff in Hindi cinema with the action romantic film Heropanti. Released in 2014, the movie also launched Kriti Sanon in Bollywood and was a big box-office success. Their second collaboration Baaghi also left the cash registers jingling in 2016. Baaghi 2 marks their third collaboration.
Raking in a humongous INR 25.10 crores on its opening day, Baaghi 2 inflamed the domestic box-office. While the movie garnered INR 20.40 crores on its second day, income soared to INR 27.60 crores on Sunday, taking the cumulative collection to a massive INR 73.60 crores at the Indian box-office.
Now the actor-producer duo is gearing up to begin work on Baaghi 3 which was announced months before the release of Baaghi 2.
Ranveer Singh’s rugged new look anchors the high-energy music video.
Rapper Hanumankind makes his official Bollywood début with a fierce verse.
Modern take on the classic Punjabi folk tune 'Jogi'.
Glimpses of Sanjay Dutt and Arjun Rampal in the mix.
The full trailer lands next month.
The Dhurandhar title track just hit the internet, and the noise around this spy thriller just went up a few notches. This is the track that pulls rapper Hanumankind into his first proper Bollywood playback moment. They have taken the old folk number 'Jogi' and built a power-packed version around it, a mix of earthy roots and straight-up aggressive energy that hits like a truck. It fits, honestly. It mirrors the film's whole gritty vibe and Ranveer Singh's battle-hardened look with that wild beard.

What is the Dhurandhar title track about?
You get a proper blast of the film’s atmosphere from this track. The music video cuts fast between shots of a heavily bearded and muscular Ranveer Singh, looking every bit the part of a hardened operative. The video cuts to the other big names in the cast as well. Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal are all there in what appears to be a tense, dark situation. The music includes traditional Punjabi folk with a stronger, cinematic rhythm.
How did Hanumankind get involved in the Dhurandhar song?
It turns out his involvement was a pretty organic, almost spontaneous thing. Music composer Shashwat Sachdev opened up about how the rap section came together. Apparently, it happened during a late-night studio session with director Aditya Dhar and Hanumankind himself. They captured an impromptu performance that just clicked, bringing what Sachdev called a "raw, instinctive fire" to the whole track. For an artist known for his independent work, this Dhurandhar feature is a major step into the mainstream film scene.
All this build-up is heading towards a definite date. The makers confirmed it right at the end of the title track video. Dhurandhar is locked in for a worldwide theatrical release on 5 December of this year. For those who need more than a song to tide them over, the official trailer is promised for 12 November.
