Get ready to be amazed because Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar is shattering box office records left and right, and it’s on the brink of crossing the 500 crore mark in India! But here’s where it gets even more fascinating: this isn’t just another Bollywood hit—it’s rewriting the rulebook for Hindi cinema. On its 3rd Saturday, the film raked in a staggering Rs. 32 crore nett, pushing its third weekend total to an estimated Rs. 87-88 crore nett. And this is the part most people miss: Dhurandhar isn’t just breaking records; it’s dominating the box office in ways that even pan-India giants like Baahubali 2 and Pushpa 2 couldn’t match in their later weeks.
Controversially, some might argue that Dhurandhar’s success is a fluke, but the numbers tell a different story. The film’s growth, though a modest 50% jump from Friday, is impressive considering it’s already operating at a scale where percentage increases naturally appear smaller. Plus, it’s achieving all this while competing with a major release like Avatar: Fire and Ash, which itself grossed Rs. 48 crore in just two days. So, is Dhurandhar’s triumph a testament to Ranveer Singh’s star power, or is there something deeper at play here? Let’s discuss in the comments!
What’s truly groundbreaking is that Dhurandhar has snatched the All-India daily collection record from Baahubali 2, grossing approximately Rs. 38.50 crore compared to the latter’s Rs. 35.25 crore. This isn’t just a win—it’s a statement. With a running total of Rs. 492 crore, the film is set to enter the elite Rs. 500 crore nett club on its 17th day. But it doesn’t stop there. Dhurandhar is on course to surpass Pushpa 2 (Hindi) as the highest-grossing Hindi film domestically, with the Rs. 800 crore nett milestone also within reach. For context, here’s a breakdown of its box office journey so far:
Day-wise Nett Collections in India:
- Week One: Rs. 196.50 crore
- Week Two: Rs. 242.00 crore
- 2nd Friday: Rs. 21.00 crore
- 2nd Saturday: Rs. 32.00 crore
- Total: Rs. 491.50 crore
As Dhurandhar continues to dominate, it raises a thought-provoking question: Is this the dawn of a new era for Bollywood, or just a one-off phenomenon? Share your thoughts below, and don’t forget to check out how Avatar: Fire and Ash is faring in comparison here!
