Dhurandhar’s Milestone Collections
Dhurandhar had already surpassed ₹800 crore in Indian box office earnings within its first month. In its initial 30 days, the film recorded an India net collection of ₹806 crore 80 lakh, making it the first Bollywood movie to cross the ₹800 crore mark in India net collections. On its fifth Sunday, which was its 31st day, Dhurandhar earned ₹13 crore 75 lakh in the Indian market.
For its 32nd day, a Monday, Dhurandhar’s morning shows experienced a drop, which is typical for working days. A significant drop was also observed in the afternoon, evening, and night show bookings compared to the previous day. As per reports, Dhurandhar is estimated to collect approximately ₹6 crore 50 lakh in the Indian market on its 32nd day.
Dhurandhar: Cumulative Worldwide Collections
Following its 32-day run, Dhurandhar’s All India Net Collection has reached ₹827 crore 5 lakh. The India Gross Collection stands at ₹975 crore 86 lakh.

Janagan: Stellar Advance Booking Performance
Thalapathy Vijay’s film Janagan, set for release this week, is receiving a fantastic response in advance bookings. The film will be released in five languages: Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, and Hindi (where it will be known as Jan Neta).
While bookings had properly started only in Kerala and Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Vijay’s main market, also saw bookings commence in a few districts last night. The response in Tamil Nadu indicates that Janagan is poised to achieve the biggest opening of Vijay’s career. The film is receiving a great response at the Indian box office, and its overseas bookings are also solid. Limited bookings for the Hindi market have also begun in some areas, suggesting a potentially large collection there. Strong opening day collections are anticipated in South languages and the Hindi market, with a good lifetime collection expected in Hindi if the film performs well.
Janagan: First Day Worldwide Advance Booking
Thalapathy Vijay and Bobby Deol’s film Janagan has secured substantial advance booking collections:
- Karnataka: ₹2 crore 10 lakh
- Kerala: ₹1 crore 61 lakh
- Tamil Nadu: ₹4 crore 37 lakh (despite limited booking)
The film’s All India Advance Booking Collection has reached ₹12 crore 8 lakh. Overseas bookings began almost a week prior, with the film collecting ₹23 crore 42 lakh in advance bookings from the overseas market. Consequently, Janagan’s first-day worldwide advance booking collection has totaled ₹35 crore 50 lakh. With four days remaining until its January 9th release, the film has already earned over ₹35 crore in advance bookings.

The Raja Saab: Box Office Potential
Prabhas’s films typically achieve an opening of over ₹100 crore at the box office. The Raja Saab is projected to break numerous box office records in the South, particularly in Telugu. The film is releasing in five languages: Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada. The Raja Saab has the potential to earn over ₹200 crore in the Hindi market.
