Dhurandhar Maintains Strong Box Office Momentum in Seventh Week
Ranveer Singh's blockbuster film Dhurandhar shows no signs of slowing down even after six weeks in theaters. On its forty-third day, the Aditya Dhar-directed action drama collected an impressive Rs 1.65 crore according to early estimates from trade tracker Sacnilk. This remarkable performance comes after the Makar Sankranti holidays, demonstrating the film's enduring appeal among audiences.
Domestic Collections Approach Historic Milestone
The film has now entered its seventh weekend in cinemas with total net domestic collections reaching Rs 818.25 crore. Producers Jio Studios claim the film has earned approximately Rs 870 crore overall. Dhurandhar continues to inch closer to the coveted Rs 900 crore mark domestically, solidifying its position as the highest-grossing Hindi film of all time in India.
Occupancy rates remained healthy throughout Day 43. Morning shows began at 6.39%, followed by a significant jump to 13.64% in afternoon screenings. Evening shows maintained momentum with 14.2% occupancy, while night shows ended strongest at 15.35%. The overall Hindi occupancy for the day stood at 12.4%.
Regional Performance Highlights
Region-wise data reveals interesting patterns:
- Delhi-NCR recorded the highest number of shows at 411, with average occupancy of 8.75%
- Mumbai registered 12.5% occupancy across 255 shows
- The film continues to perform consistently across major metropolitan markets
Outperforming Major Competitors
What makes Dhurandhar's Day 43 performance particularly noteworthy is how it compares to other major films at similar stages:
- Allu Arjun's Pushpa 2: The Rule collected only Rs 85 lakhs on Day 43
- Ranbir Kapoor's Animal earned just Rs 15 lakhs on its forty-third day
- Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan managed Rs 42 lakhs at the same point in its run
Even more impressive is how Dhurandhar continues to compete with new releases. Vir Das' directorial debut Happy Patel, which opened on Friday, earned Rs 1.25 crore on its first day - still lower than Dhurandhar's seventh-week collection. The film also outperforms other recent releases including The Raja Saab, Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, and Ikkis.
Global Box Office Dominance
On the worldwide front, Dhurandhar has achieved another significant milestone. The gangster actioner has recently surpassed the global box office collections of Yash's KGF Chapter 2, which stood at Rs 1,215 crore. According to producers, Dhurandhar crossed the Rs 1,300 crore mark globally just a few days ago, cementing its position as one of Indian cinema's biggest commercial successes.
Festival Season Launchpad
For Hindi cinema, the festive season effectively began over a month ago with Dhurandhar's release. Since its arrival, the film has created unprecedented excitement at ticket windows, breaking records almost daily. It not only emerged as the highest-grossing Indian film of 2025 but also surpassed lifetime domestic collections of major hits including Stree, Chhaava, and Jawan to claim the top position.
Looking Ahead to Part 2
All eyes now turn to Dhurandhar Part 2, which is scheduled for an Eid 2026 release. The sequel is set to clash directly with Yash's Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups, creating what promises to be one of the most anticipated box office battles in recent memory. Industry observers eagerly await to see which film will ultimately dominate the 2026 festive season.
The sustained performance of Dhurandhar demonstrates the film's strong connection with audiences and its ability to maintain momentum well beyond the traditional theatrical window. As it continues its record-breaking run, the film sets new benchmarks for Hindi cinema's commercial potential.
