The highly anticipated release of the Ranveer Singh-starrer film “Dhurandhar” has encountered a significant setback, as the delivery of its IMAX prints has been delayed. This situation has raised concerns among fans and industry insiders alike, as the film was expected to be a major attraction for audiences eager to experience it in the immersive IMAX format. The delay in the delivery of the specialized prints means that some IMAX theaters may have to consider alternative options for their screening schedules on the film’s release day.
As a result of this unforeseen delay, there is a possibility that IMAX properties could opt to play a non-IMAX version of “Dhurandhar” instead. This decision, while practical in the face of logistical challenges, may disappoint fans who were looking forward to the enhanced visuals and sound that the IMAX experience promises. The film, which has generated considerable buzz due to its star-studded cast and engaging storyline, was expected to draw large crowds, particularly in the premium format.
Industry experts believe that the delay could impact the film’s box office performance, especially if audiences feel that they are missing out on the full cinematic experience. With IMAX screenings often commanding a premium ticket price, the decision to screen a non-IMAX version could lead to reduced attendance and revenue for theaters that had anticipated a strong turnout. As the release date approaches, all eyes will be on the film’s producers and distributors to see how they address this situation and whether they can manage to deliver the much-anticipated IMAX prints on time. The film’s success may ultimately hinge on the resolution of this issue and the audience’s response to the alternative screening formats.
