Srinagar: The Indian Army has celebrated the two Dhurandhar films by setting up a bar by that name at one of its messes in Srinagar in Kashmir.
Actor Rakesh Bedi, who played an important character in the films, inaugurated the bar – complete with posters and artwork from the film – recently and took Instagram followers on a tour.
Bedi shared a few videos on his Instagram Stories where he revealed that he was at an Army base in Srinagar, where he had been invited to inaugurate a Dhurandhar-themed bar, as reported by Hindustan Times.
“I am in Srinagar. I won’t go into details of where I am, but this is an Army mess. Here, they have made a Dhurandhar corner. They were waiting for someone to come and inaugurate it. Today, I happened to be here in Kashmir, in Srinagar, and I am going to do the honours. I am honoured to do that,” the actor said, before panning the camera to reveal a ribbon waiting to be cut.
“I cannot tell you where this bar is for security reasons,” the actor added.
Bedi showed how it had a sign proclaiming ‘Dhurandhar bar, established 2026’. On the side of the bar was a poster of Gaurav Gera, who played a milk soda seller in the film. The poster showed him mixing the drink and featured his signature line.
A poster of Bedi was hung beside it, again featuring a drink-themed line of his from the film. The actor also panned to an expansive artwork featuring the film’s lead Ranveer Singh, which utilised part of a real gun to complete the illusion. On the opposite wall was an artwork of R Madhavan from the film. The actor played India’s National Security Advisor in the film.
Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar and Dhurandhar: The Revenge are considered among the most successful films in recent times. Not only did they gross over Rs 3,100 crore globally, they have become a part of pop culture.
