Here is your SantaBanta daily wrap of the biggest clash of the year!
Twitter Verdict: "Stunning... But Boring?"
The first shows have ended, and the internet is flooding with reviews.
The Good: As expected, the visuals are being called "god-tier." Fans are screaming about the "Fire Clan" and the breathtaking 3D experience.
The Bad: A surprising number of viewers are calling the plot "repetitive" and "stretched."
"It looks beautiful, but it’s the same story again. 3 hours felt like 5!" wrote one disappointed fan on X.
The Ugly: Comparisons to The Way of Water are flying thick and fast, with some saying the "wow factor" is missing this time.
SantaBanta Says: If you love visual spectacles, book your ticket. If you want a fast-paced story, you might want to check the runtime again!
Dhurandhar Refuses to Budge!
They thought the "Blue Wave" would wash him away, but Ranveer Singh is standing like a rock!
Box Office Update: On its 14th day, Dhurandhar collected a massive ₹23 Crore, taking its total India Net collection past ₹460 Crore.
Worldwide Domination: The spy thriller has officially crossed the ₹700 Crore mark globally!
The North Wall: Trade reports suggest that in mass centers (North India), Dhurandhar is actually beating Avatar 3 in advance bookings for today. Aditya Dhar’s spies are clearly not ready to surrender their territory.
Good News: A Little "Hooda" is on the Way!
Amidst the box office chaos, here is some heartwarming news to make you smile. Randeep Hooda and his wife Lin Laishram have officially announced they are expecting their first child!
"Our favourite topic these days is our baby's room," Lin gushed in an exclusive interview. Congratulations to the beautiful couple! We can't wait to see the little one.
Coming Up: The Christmas Finale
With Avatar receiving mixed reviews, the door is wide open for Kartik Aaryan next week. His rom-com Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri releases on December 25. Will the audience choose romance over the "repetitive" war on Pandora? The game is still on!
