Dhurandhar Makes Impressive Box Office Comeback in Week 7
The Bollywood blockbuster Dhurandhar has staged a remarkable recovery at the box office. After experiencing its lowest collection to date at the start of week seven, the film has dramatically picked up pace. Directed by Aditya Dhar and featuring Ranveer Singh and Akshaye Khanna in lead roles, this action-packed drama continues to captivate audiences across India.
Week 7 Collections Show Strong Growth
Early reports indicate Dhurandhar began its seventh week with disappointing numbers. The film collected only around Rs 1.75 crore on its first day of week seven. This represented a significant drop from previous weeks and marked the film's lowest single-day collection since its December 5 release.
However, the situation changed dramatically on Saturday. Box office estimates show the film nearly doubled its collections, earning approximately Rs 3 crore. This impressive surge brings the two-day total for week seven to an estimated Rs 4.75 crore.
Record-Breaking Journey Continues
Dhurandhar has been on a record-breaking spree since its theatrical debut. The film now stands third on the list of highest week seven collections in Indian cinema history. Only two films have performed better during their seventh week:
- Chhaava earned Rs 6.53 crore
- Stree 2 collected Rs 9.35 crore
Despite facing competition from multiple new releases, Dhurandhar has managed to outperform them all. The film has sailed past recent competitors including:
- Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos
- Avatar: Fire and Ash
- Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri
- Ikkis
- The Raja Saab
Week-Wise Collection Breakdown
The film's box office journey reveals an interesting pattern of performance:
- Week 1: Rs 207.25 crore
- Week 2: Rs 253.25 crore (highest weekly collection)
- Week 3: Rs 172 crore
- Week 4: Rs 106.5 crore
- Week 5: Rs 51.25 crore
- Week 6: Rs 26.35 crore
This steady decline through weeks three to six makes the week seven recovery particularly noteworthy. The film's total net collection in India now stands at an impressive Rs 821.35 crore.
Approaching Major Milestones
Dhurandhar continues to break records as the highest-earning single-language film in Indian cinema history. The film's gross collection currently estimates at approximately Rs 985.4 crore, putting it within striking distance of the coveted Rs 1,000 crore mark.
The film now stands just a few crore shy of officially surpassing the lifetime collection of KGF Chapter 2, which currently ranks third at the Indian box office with a gross total of Rs 1000.85 crore. The top two positions remain occupied by:
- Pushpa 2: Rs 1471.1 crore (No. 1)
- Baahubali 2: Rs 1416.9 crore (No. 2)
Strong Overseas Performance
International markets continue to contribute significantly to the film's success. Overseas collections have reached an estimated Rs 293 crore, pushing the worldwide total to approximately Rs 1278.8 crore. This steady income from international audiences demonstrates the film's global appeal and staying power.
The combination of domestic recovery and consistent international performance suggests Dhurandhar will continue its box office run for several more weeks. Industry analysts closely watch whether the film can maintain its momentum and potentially challenge existing records for longest-running successful films in Indian cinema.
