‘Ticket costs around Rs 500, I’ll watch it later’: Auto driver who debuted in films can’t afford ‘Dhurandhar 2’ tickets

Aditya Dhar's movie ‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge’ is breaking box office records. But a sad story from the film is getting more attention. Badrul Islam, an auto-rickshaw driver, who appears for a short time in the last scene. The actor says he can't watch the movie in a theater because he doesn't have enough money.A social media video of Badrul is viral on the internet, where he reveals, "I haven't seen the film yet. The ticket costs around Rs 500, and the film was just released, so I haven't been able to see it. I'll see it later." This raw honesty has struck a chord with audiences. He admitted his children are eager to watch due to his cameo, yet noted that for their family of five, tickets would run Rs 2,500. Saving that monthly amount, he's holding off on the theater trip. Though the lead stars Ranveer Singh, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, and R. Madhavan are earning widespread praise, Badrul's minor role has also caught the spotlight. Fans are urging director Aditya Dhar to organize a complimentary theater screening for the auto-rickshaw driver.Directed by Aditya Dhar, ‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge’ hit theaters on March 19. Reports show it raked in Rs 575.67 crore net in India over six days, with domestic gross nearing Rs 687 crore. Overseas earnings reached Rs 231.57 crore, lifting the global total to a stunning Rs 919 crore.
