Aditya Dhar's blockbuster film 'Dhurandhar' hit cinemas on December 5. Now, on its 46th day, the movie still dominates over newer releases. This remarkable performance shows no signs of slowing down.
Historic Box Office Records
The film created history on its 40th day. It became the highest grosser on day 40, surpassing big movies like 'Pushpa 2' and 'Baahubali 2'. This achievement highlights its incredible staying power.
Detailed Collection Figures
Let's look at the numbers. On day 40, 'Dhurandhar' collected Rs 2.60 crore. In comparison, 'Pushpa 2' made Rs 1 crore and 'Baahubali 2' collected Rs 60 lakh on their respective 40th days. The difference is striking.
The film didn't stop there. It actually saw growth after day 40. On day 41, a Wednesday, it made Rs 3 crore. Day 42 brought the same impressive number. This consistency is rare for films in their sixth week.
Weekend Performance and Competition
The sixth week ended with total collections of Rs 26.35 crore. Then came the seventh weekend, which showed incredible growth. The film collected Rs 3 crore on Friday, marking a 71.43 percent increase from the previous Friday.
Saturday and Sunday were even better. The movie earned Rs 3.75 crore on each of those days. Other films running in theatres couldn't compete. 'The Raja Saab' and 'Happy Patel' were both dominated by 'Dhurandhar' over that weekend.
Current Status and Future Projections
The seventh Monday started slower. Early reports show collections of Rs 0.12 crore so far. Despite this, the total collection according to Sacnilk stands at an impressive Rs 825.22 crore.
The film still has this full week to add to its total. Industry experts predict it may end its theatrical run with around Rs 850 crore in India. That would be a phenomenal achievement.
Upcoming Challenges and Developments
This Friday, January 23, brings new competition. 'Border 2' will release in cinemas nationwide. This could test 'Dhurandhar's' continued dominance.
Interestingly, reports suggest the teaser for 'Dhurandhar 2' will be attached to 'Border 2'. This clever marketing move keeps excitement high for the franchise.
The star-studded cast continues to draw audiences. Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, and Arjun Rampal deliver powerful performances that resonate with viewers. Their collective star power contributes significantly to the film's success.
Audiences clearly appreciate the film's quality and entertainment value. Word-of-mouth recommendations keep bringing people to theatres week after week. This sustained interest is what every filmmaker dreams of achieving.
Box office analysts are watching closely. They note how 'Dhurandhar' defies normal patterns. Most films see sharp declines after the first few weeks. This one maintains strong numbers well into its seventh week.
The production team must be thrilled. Their hard work has paid off spectacularly. From scripting to direction to performances, every element has come together perfectly.
As the theatrical run continues, all eyes remain on the collection figures. Each day brings new data points. The film industry watches with interest, learning from this success story.
For now, 'Dhurandhar' stands tall. It has carved its place in box office history. The coming days will determine just how high it can ultimately climb.
