Dhurandhar Box Office: Approaching ₹1000 Crore Worldwide
The film Dhurandhar has already surpassed the ₹900 crore mark at the box office and is rapidly nearing the ₹1000 crore club. Currently in its third week in cinemas, the film’s collections continue to be record-breaking. It is anticipated that Dhurandhar will reach ₹1000 crore at the box office before the new year, with expectations for strong earnings into the new year as well. Dhurandhar, released on December 5th, surprised many by its box office performance. Initial predictions suggested the film might only reach ₹250 crore, but it surpassed this figure in its first week alone. The second week’s collections for the film were even higher than its first week.
Dhurandhar’s Record-Breaking Run and Day-wise Collections
Despite the release of a major film like Avatar 3 in its third week, Dhurandhar’s box office collections in India are still outperforming Avatar 3’s daily earnings. The film is expected to see powerful collections during the Christmas and January 1st holidays. Projections indicate that Dhurandhar could maintain double-digit daily collections for one month in cinemas, with its final box office collection potentially reaching ₹11100 crore. However, predicting the lifetime box office for this film is challenging due to the continuous public support. Dhurandhar, an action thriller, has already surpassed the worldwide lifetime collections of all Indian films released in 2025, securing the record for the highest-earning film of the year.
As of its initial 17 days, Dhurandhar garnered an India Net collection of ₹579 crore 20 lakh. On its 18th day, which was a third Monday, the film earned a strong ₹17 crore 52 lakh in the Indian market. Reports suggest that on its 19th day, Dhurandhar is collecting over ₹18 crore in India. This brings the film’s total All India Net collection over 19 days to ₹614 crore 97 lakh, with an India Gross collection of ₹731 crore 81 lakh. Additionally, the film’s overseas gross collection has reached ₹190 crore 54 lakh. Cumulatively, Dhurandhar’s worldwide box office collection stands at ₹922 crore 35 lakh. With upcoming holidays, it is highly expected that the film will easily cross the ₹1000 crore mark globally in the coming days.
Akhanda 2 Box Office Performance: 12-Day Collections
The Pan India action-drama film Akhanda 2, featuring Nandamuri Balakrishna, was released on December 12th in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada. The film achieved strong earnings on its opening day, but its collections subsequently declined daily due to mixed reviews. While its first-week collections were commendable, surpassing the ₹100 crore mark worldwide, the second week’s earnings were below expectations. With a budget of ₹200 crore, Akhanda 2’s total worldwide collection over 12 days has reached ₹125 crore 43 lakh.
In its initial 10 days, Akhanda 2 accumulated an India Net collection of ₹86 crore 4 lakh across all languages. On its second Monday (11th day), the film earned ₹1 crore 38 lakh in India from all languages. Reports for its 12th day indicate an estimated earning of ₹1 crore 25 lakh in the Indian market across all languages. This brings Akhanda 2’s total India Net collection for the first 12 days to ₹88 crore 67 lakh, with an India Gross collection of ₹105 crore 96 lakh.
Avatar 3 India Box Office: 5-Day Collections and Worldwide Performance
Hollywood’s Avatar 3, an action-adventure fantasy drama directed by James Cameron, was released in India in six languages: Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, and English. The film opened on 1700 screens in India, a number noted as being on the lower side. Despite this, its high ticket prices led to a strong opening day in India, with impressive collections on the second and third days, resulting in a robust first-weekend performance. However, collections saw a significant drop on Monday, with earnings becoming much lower during weekdays.
Many screens previously allocated to Avatar 3 are now being given to Dhurandhar. Nevertheless, the film is expected to achieve a final collection of over ₹150 crore at the Indian box office, having already neared ₹100 crore in India Gross collection. Avatar 3’s India Net collection for its first weekend (first three days) across all languages was ₹67 crore 25 lakh. On its fourth day (first Monday), the film collected ₹8 crore 53 lakh in India. Reports for the fifth day indicate an estimated earning of ₹7 crore 25 lakh at the Indian box office. This totals Avatar 3’s India Net collection over five days to ₹83 crore 3 lakh, and its India Gross collection to ₹99 crore 62 lakh. Globally, the film has earned ₹397 million, which translates to ₹3550 crore in Indian currency, indicating significant worldwide collections.
Avatar 3’s India Screen Presence and Weekend vs. Weekday Trends
Avatar 3 was released on 1700 screens in India, but reports indicate a decrease in screen count in many locations, with these screens being reallocated to Dhurandhar. The film demonstrated strong box office performance over its first weekend, with impressive collections on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. However, a notable trend shows a significant decline in collections during weekdays, starting from its first Monday. This indicates a strong initial surge followed by a drop in daily earnings on non-holiday weekdays. Despite these trends, the film’s strong worldwide performance and early India collections suggest a potential final Indian box office collection exceeding ₹150 crore.
