Dhurandhar’s Record-Breaking Box Office Performance
The film Dhurandhar has achieved record-breaking earnings, surpassing all major films in Indian cinema. It continues to collect more than even Pushpa 2 day by day. This trend suggests the movie’s collections may continue their record-breaking run for approximately one month. Dhurandhar’s box office earnings have astonished Bollywood and generated significant excitement in the South Indian film industry.
Dhurandhar: First Week vs. Second Week Collections
Dhurandhar opened with an explosive performance at the box office. Initially, there was an expectation that collections might decline in the second week. However, the film has delivered even better collections in its second week compared to its impressive first-week earnings. Unlike the typical trend where films see a drop in collections during weekdays after a strong opening weekend, Dhurandhar maintained robust earnings even during weekdays. Despite assumptions that new releases and a reduction in screen count would slow down Dhurandhar in its second week, the opposite occurred. The film’s second-week box office earnings have exceeded those of its first week.
Unprecedented Box Office Success
The collections achieved by Dhurandhar are historic, not just in India but also internationally. The film has reportedly made earnings that no Bollywood superstar’s film has achieved to date, including those starring Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Hrithik Roshan, Akshay Kumar, or Ajay Devgn.
Dhurandhar’s Budget and Initial Returns
Directed by Aditya Dhar, the action-thriller Dhurandhar features Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Sara Arjun, and Rakesh Bedi in its leading cast. The film’s budget is ₹280 crore, which also includes the budget for its Part 2. Despite this combined budget, the current film has already earned more than double its budget worldwide.
Dhurandhar’s First-Week and Second-Weekend Records
Ranveer Singh and Sanjay Dutt’s Dhurandhar secured an India Net Collection of ₹218 crore within its first seven days. The film’s second weekend showcased remarkable earnings:
- Day 8 (Second Friday): ₹34.70 crore
- Day 9 (Second Saturday): ₹53.70 crore
- Day 10 (Second Sunday): ₹58.20 crore
This brought Dhurandhar’s Second Weekend India Net Collection to ₹146.60 crore, setting a new record for the highest second-weekend collection. This record was previously held by Allu Arjun’s film Pushpa 2. Previously, Pushpa 2 held the record for the highest second-week collection with ₹128 crore. Other notable second-week collections include Chhava (over ₹19 crore), Stree 2 (over ₹93 crore), and Gadar 2 (₹90 crore). Dhurandhar’s second-weekend earnings are significantly higher than previous Indian cinema films. It is expected that the film’s collections in the third and fourth weeks will also create new history.
Dhurandhar Day-Wise and Cumulative India Net Collections
By the end of its first 10 days, Dhurandhar had amassed an India Net Collection of ₹364.60 crore. On its Second Monday (Day 11), the film continued its strong run, collecting ₹31.25 crore. Early reports for Day 12 (Second Tuesday) indicate an even better response, with morning shows exhibiting higher occupancy than the previous day, ranging from 70% to 75% in multiplexes and single screens. Afternoon, evening, and night shows also show strong bookings. Dhurandhar is projected to collect ₹32.50 crore India Net on its 12th day.
With these figures, the All India Net Collection for Dhurandhar over its initial 12 days stands at ₹428.35 crore, crossing the ₹400 crore mark in India Net Collection.
Dhurandhar’s India Gross, Overseas, and Worldwide Box Office
The film’s India Gross Collection has surpassed ₹500 crore, currently standing at ₹512.94 crore. Overseas, Dhurandhar’s collections are also remarkable, mirroring its domestic success. The film has so far achieved an Overseas Gross Collection of over ₹137 crore.
Cumulatively, Dhurandhar’s Worldwide Collection for its initial 12 days is ₹650 crore.
