Director Aditya Dhar's cinematic spectacle, 'Dhurandhar', continues its triumphant march at the domestic box office, etching its name in the record books with a phenomenal fifth-week performance. Starring Ranveer Singh and Akshaye Khanna, the film has not just sustained audience interest but has achieved a milestone never seen before in Hindi cinema.
A Historic Fifth Week For The Blockbuster
As per detailed box office reports from industry trackers like Sacnilk, 'Dhurandhar' demonstrated remarkable staying power in its fifth week. The film, which is a Hindi-only release, managed to rake in an impressive ₹4.25 crore on its 35th day (Day 35), mirroring its collections from the previous Wednesday. This consistent performance contributed to an overall occupancy rate of 10.81 per cent for the day.
The cumulative effect of the week's business has propelled 'Dhurandhar' past a significant barrier. The film's total collection for the fifth week stands at a staggering ₹51.25 crore. This monumental figure marks the first time any Bollywood film has crossed the ₹50 crore mark in its fifth week, setting a brand new industry record.
Smashing Previous Records By A Huge Margin
The scale of this achievement becomes clear when compared to the previous record-holder. The fifth-week record was previously held by Vicky Kaushal's 'Chhaava', which had earned an estimated ₹30 crore. 'Dhurandhar' has shattered this record by a massive margin of over ₹20 crore. In fact, the film surpassed the old record within just the fifth weekend itself, scoring an estimated ₹33.25 crore net over that period.
Week-Wise Box Office Journey Of Dhurandhar
While week five is historically the film's lowest-performing week so far, it comes on the back of an extraordinary run. 'Dhurandhar' had consistently maintained collections above the ₹100 crore mark until the conclusion of its fourth week. The film has witnessed a gradual dip post-week four, which is a natural trend in a film's theatrical lifecycle. The detailed week-wise India nett collections are as follows:
- Week 1: ₹207.25 crore
- Week 2: ₹253.25 crore
- Week 3: ₹172 crore
- Week 4: ₹106.5 crore
- Week 5: ₹51.25 crore
Inching Towards The ₹1000 Crore Gross Milestone
The film's total net collection in India has now reached a monumental ₹790.25 crore nett. Reports indicate that the gross total collection within India stands at approximately ₹948 crore. With these numbers, 'Dhurandhar' has already overtaken the net India collections of the global blockbuster 'RRR'.
The film is now on a clear path to breach the coveted ₹1000 crore gross mark in the domestic market. Achieving this would mean surpassing the lifetime collections of another industry giant, 'KGF: Chapter 2'.
Dominating The Global Box Office
'Dhurandhar's success story is not confined to Indian shores. The film has performed exceptionally well in international markets, where it has already collected over ₹285 crore. This strong overseas performance takes the film's overall worldwide box office collection to a mammoth estimated total of ₹1,233 crore, cementing its status as a global phenomenon.
The sustained performance of 'Dhurandhar' underscores the power of compelling storytelling backed by powerful performances. As it continues its theatrical run, all eyes are on when it will cross the ₹1000 crore domestic gross milestone and what final records it will set by the end of its theatrical journey.
