Despite decent word of mouth, Dhandoraa slows down

Dhandoraa, which released during the Christmas weekend, opened to a decent word of mouth and managed to create some initial buzz.

However, the film’s momentum has slowed down significantly as the days progressed. Current reports suggest that theatre occupancy has fallen across several centers, and surprisingly, the extended Christmas holidays did not translate into stronger footfalls.

The next three days are being seen as crucial for the film’s box-office prospects, as a steady hold could still change the narrative.

Adding to the challenges, Sivaji’s recent controversy seems to have worked against the film rather than helping it gain attention.
