Fact Checks Knock Down Claim of Ranveer Singh’s Temple Visit Linked to ‘Dhurandhar 2’ ₹1,000-Crore Feat

The miscaptioned clip shows how fast box-office buzz can seed false claims unless posts are verified for time and source.

Overview

  • A video of Ranveer Singh at Kashi Vishwanath Temple spread as a new visit tied to Dhurandhar 2’s success, but fact-checks show it was filmed on April 14, 2024 during an earlier trip with Kriti Sanon.
  • News18 and Free Press Journal cited Grok’s archive check to verify the date of the clip, confirming it is unrelated to the film’s current run.
  • Box-office tracker Sacnilk reports the sequel has earned about ₹1,007 crore worldwide within its first week, marking a rapid global haul.
  • In India, the film’s Day 8 tally reached about ₹656.17 crore by 8 pm, with trade trackers expecting the total to approach ₹670 crore by day’s end as provisional counts update.
  • Times Now echoed the debunk and cited higher Day 8 tallies, showing how box-office figures vary across outlets as trackers refresh their numbers through the day.
