Dhurandhar, the latest blockbuster starring Ranveer Singh, is on a record-breaking spree at the Indian box office! The film is poised to shatter box office records and surpass the coveted 500 crore nett mark in India, a feat that only a few movies have achieved.
But here's the impressive part: on its third Saturday, Dhurandhar grossed approximately Rs. 38.50 crore, outperforming Baahubali 2's All-India daily collection record of Rs. 35.25 crore. This achievement is even more remarkable considering the film's growth trajectory. While it saw a 50% increase in collections from Friday, this is lower than the 70-80% jumps other films typically experience during later weekends. However, Dhurandhar is already outperforming these films in overall collections, so a smaller percentage growth is expected at this level.
And this is where it gets interesting: Dhurandhar is achieving these milestones while competing with a major new release, Avatar: Fire and Ash. The film's total collections stand at Rs. 492 crore approx., and it's on track to cross the 700 crore nett mark and potentially overtake Pushpa 2 (Hindi) as the highest-grossing Hindi film ever in India. The 800 crore nett milestone is also within reach, but it won't be an easy feat.
The film's box office collections in India so far are as follows: Week One - Rs. 196.50 cr., Week Two - Rs. 242.00 cr., 2nd Friday - Rs. 21.00 cr., 2nd Saturday - Rs. 32.00 cr., Total - Rs. 491.50 cr.
Dhurandhar's success raises an intriguing question: Can it sustain its momentum and dominate the box office despite the competition? What do you think? Is Dhurandhar destined to become a legendary film in the history of Indian cinema, or will it be overshadowed by other releases? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
