The Aditya Dhar-directed action spectacle 'Dhurandhar', starring Ranveer Singh and Akshaye Khanna, has demonstrated remarkable staying power at the Indian box office. After a noticeable dip as it entered its fifth week, the film has stabilized its earnings, showcasing a steady performance that continues to add to its monumental total.
Day 33 Collections Mirror Fifth Monday
According to early estimates reported by industry tracker Sacnilk, 'Dhurandhar' collected approximately Rs 4.75 crore net on its thirty-third day in Indian theatres. This figure is notably consistent with its collections from the fifth Monday, indicating that the film has managed to regain its footing after the initial weekly drop. The Hindi blockbuster, which consistently earned double-digit crores for most of its run, transitioned to single-digit daily figures upon starting its fifth week in cinemas.
A Week-by-Week Box Office Journey
The film's box office trajectory tells a story of massive opening success followed by a gradual, yet strong, descent. 'Dhurandhar' launched with a thunderous first week, amassing an estimated Rs 207.25 crore. Its momentum increased in the second week, where it reached a new peak by adding roughly Rs 253.25 crore to its kitty.
As is typical for most films, collections began to taper off thereafter. The third week saw earnings of around Rs 172 crore, followed by a fourth-week haul of Rs 106.5 crore. The current fifth week has so far garnered an estimated Rs 43.75 crore with two days still remaining. Analysts are keenly watching to see if the movie can cross the Rs 50 crore mark for the week, which would be the first time its weekly collections have fallen below the Rs 100 crore threshold.
Crossing Major Milestones
The consistent collections have propelled 'Dhurandhar' to staggering cumulative figures. The film's total net collection in India now stands at a colossal Rs 781.75 crore. When converted to gross figures, this amounts to about Rs 938 crore from the domestic market alone.
Adding a robust overseas contribution of Rs 282 crore, the worldwide box office total for 'Dhurandhar' has spectacularly surpassed the Rs 1,220 crore mark. This cements the film's position as one of the highest-grossing Indian productions of the year, a testament to the star power of Ranveer Singh and Akshaye Khanna and the directorial prowess of Aditya Dhar.
The film's ability to hold steady in its fifth week, despite increased competition and the natural lifecycle of a theatrical release, points towards strong audience retention and word-of-mouth. Industry observers will continue to monitor its performance in the coming days as it approaches the end of its theatrical run.
