Aditya Dhar's film Dhurandhar: The Revenge is achieving unprecedented box office success, but a poignant story about an auto-rickshaw driver has captured public attention. Badrul Islam, who makes a brief appearance in the movie's final scene, revealed in a viral video that he has not yet been able to see the film due to financial constraints.
Islam explained that ticket prices, around 500 rupees, make it difficult for his family of five to attend, costing them Rs 2,500. He expressed his intention to watch it later. His candid admission has deeply affected viewers and highlighted the financial realities faced by many.
The film, released on March 19, has grossed over Rs 919 crore worldwide. Despite its commercial triumph, Badrul's experience underscores the disparity between the film industry's riches and the struggles of ordinary individuals.
Fans have appealed to director Aditya Dhar to arrange a complimentary screening for Badrul Islam, acknowledging his contribution to the film. This incident has amplified the movie's emotional resonance beyond its box office achievements.
