Baahubali created a massive impact across India, not just as a film but as a shared cultural moment. People discussed its characters, scenes and dialogues in everyday conversations, from homes to workplaces.
Even those who had not watched it knew what Baahubali represented. The film became a reference point in popular culture, proving how cinema can unite audiences beyond language and region.
Today, a similar wave of attention surrounds Dhurandhar, which has become one of the most talked-about films among audiences.
Viewers are watching it multiple times, sharing reactions online, and creating positive memes that keep the film alive in daily discussions.
References like the Pakistan spy storyline have turned into widely recognized online reels, further expanding the film’s reach beyond the theatre.
Trade analysts note that the impact is already affecting the industry. With the first part nearing the collections of Baahubali 2 with crores of collection in four figures, the upcoming sequel is expected to raise the bar even higher.
Big films scheduled around March are reportedly nervous about its release. Both commercially and culturally, Dhurandhar is setting new benchmarks and rewriting expectations.
