Major titles lined up, to cash in on Dhurandhar trend
IT'S THE SEASON of spy thrillers in Bollywood. After Dhurandhar’s mega success, Happy Patel Khatarnak Jasoos, another film based on the genre, marked its theatrical release this week. The quirky spy comedy, which also happens to be comedian-actor Vir Das’ directorial debut, is attempting to build on the momentum set by Dhurandhar, which has already crossed ₹900 crore at the domestic box office and ₹1,300 crore worldwide, and cash in on a genre that has become a reliable crowd-puller in Bollywood.
