Ambala (Haryana) [India], December 21 (ANI): Haryana Cabinet Minister Anil Vij on Saturday praised the premise of the movie Dhurandhar, which features Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, Arjun Rampal, R Madhavan and Sara Arjun in key roles.

Praising the film, the Haryana cabinet minister said that Dhurandhar is one of those films that attempts to reveal a hidden truth and claimed that it showcases the reality of Pakistan.

He further added that preparations for terrorist attacks around the world take place in Pakistan, and the film exposes the truth about the country.

'The film attempts to show what is usually never seen... The film tries to show how the networks operating there are being dismantled within their own country. This is the first film of its kind that attempts to reveal a hidden truth. It attempts to show all the activities that have been taking place over the years... It's being banned in Muslim countries because they don't want to see the truth about themselves. I also heard that Pakistan wants to make a counter-film because this film shows the reality of Pakistan... Preparations for terrorist attacks around the world are being made there, in every home, which is why they don't like it. Their truth is being exposed...' Vij told reporters.

Meanwhile, Ranveer Singh's spy thriller Dhurandhar continues its record-breaking run at the box office. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh stated that the film has entered the 500 crore club on Day 15 and is heading towards the 600 crore mark.

According to Adarsh, Dhurandhar collected 23.70 crore on its third Friday, surpassing several other major blockbusters, including Pushpa 2 (Hindi) at 12.50 crore, Chhaava at 13.30 crore, and Bahubali 2 (Hindi) at 10.05 crore.
