The much-anticipated action film Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge, starring Ranveer Singh and directed by Aditya Dhar, is enjoying massive success at the global box office. Within just a few days of its release, the film has reportedly crossed the ₹300 crore mark, drawing huge crowds not only in India but also overseas.
However, amid its roaring success, a shocking incident has emerged from Canada, where a screening of the film had to be abruptly halted due to violent behavior by audience members. The incident took place at a theatre in a major Canadian city during a special screening of the film.
According to reports, the chaos began after repeated technical glitches disrupted the movie. Frustrated by constant interruptions, viewers initially started shouting and expressing their anger. What began as verbal protests soon escalated into outright vandalism.
Eyewitness accounts suggest that some unruly individuals began damaging theatre property, tearing seats and creating panic inside the auditorium. In a particularly alarming act, a few people allegedly used sharp objects to rip apart the cinema screen itself, forcing the immediate suspension of the screening.
The theatre staff reportedly struggled to bring the situation under control, but the chaos intensified, prompting authorities to intervene. Canadian police arrived at the scene, evacuated the premises, and restored order. Several individuals, reportedly of Indian origin, were detained in connection with the incident and booked for damaging public property.
Fortunately, no serious injuries were reported, but the incident has sparked widespread outrage on social media. Videos from the theatre have gone viral, with netizens strongly condemning the violent behavior and calling for stricter action against those responsible.
While Dhurandhar 2 continues to dominate the box office and attract audiences worldwide, this incident has raised concerns about audience conduct and safety in cinemas. It also highlights how technical mismanagement, if not handled promptly, can escalate into serious situations.
