The action drama Dhurandhar, starring Ranveer Singh and directed by Aditya Dhar, is demonstrating unprecedented staying power at the domestic box office. Even in its fourth week of release, the film continues to pull audiences to theatres, cementing its status as one of the most durable theatrical performers of the year.
Steady Collections Defy Fourth-Week Norms
According to early estimates from industry tracker Sacnilk, Dhurandhar earned approximately ₹4.3 crore on its 29th day (Thursday). This figure is based on data available until 6 pm, with a slight upward revision expected once evening and night show numbers are included. This daily collection pushes the film's India nett total to around ₹743.3 crore.
The film's ability to maintain steady footfalls well into its fourth week has become a major point of discussion within trade circles. While weekday numbers have naturally moderated from weekend highs, the consistency remains remarkable for a film nearly a month into its run.
Historic Fourth Week and Unbroken Streak
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh spotlighted the film's extraordinary achievement on social media platform X. He revealed that Dhurandhar is the first Hindi film ever to cross the ₹100 crore mark in its fourth week. As per his data, the film collected a staggering ₹115.70 crore in Week 4 alone.
This performance leaves other major releases far behind. For comparison, the Hindi version of Pushpa 2 earned ₹57.95 crore in its fourth week, while Chhaava and Stree 2 collected ₹43.98 crore and ₹37.75 crore respectively in the same period.
Adarsh further highlighted another rare milestone: Dhurandhar is the only Hindi film to record double-digit daily collections for 28 consecutive days. The Week 4 daily figures showcase this relentless consistency:
- Monday (Day 22): ₹11.20 crore
- Sunday (Day 28): ₹24.30 crore
As per these trade figures, the film's cumulative India nett total now stands at ₹784.50 crore.
Global Dominance and Single-Language Supremacy
The film's success is not confined to India. Dhurandhar has stormed past the ₹1,000 crore mark globally, with current worldwide collections estimated at over ₹1,151.75 crore. This places it firmly among the top-grossing Indian films of all time.
A significant aspect of this achievement is that the film has emerged as the highest-grossing Indian film in a single language. It has overtaken several multi-starrer and franchise-backed titles to claim this crown. In terms of worldwide rankings for language-specific performance, Dhurandhar has moved ahead of blockbusters like Pathaan, Stree 2, and Chhaava.
While films like Jawan and Pushpa 2 crossed the ₹1,050 crore threshold through multi-language releases, Dhurandhar's numbers are primarily driven by its Hindi version. When considering all Indian films globally, it currently ranks as the seventh highest-grossing Indian release worldwide.
Another notable feat is the film's entry into the ₹1,000 crore global club without a release in China, a market that has propelled several Indian films to astronomical figures. This achievement is rare, accomplished by only a handful of Indian titles.
Sustained Audience Engagement and Screen Dominance
Occupancy data indicates that audience interest remains strong. On its 28th day, the film recorded an overall Hindi occupancy of 14.99%. The breakdown showed morning shows at 9.65%, with attendance rising to 20.32% for afternoon shows. This pattern of stronger turnout during later day slots, despite the extended theatrical run, points to sustained appeal.
Furthermore, Dhurandhar has managed to retain a dominant share of screens across the country, even with the release of the new film Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri, starring Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday. Trade experts attribute this sustained run to a powerful combination of factors:
- Strong word-of-mouth recommendations.
- A dedicated base of repeat audiences.
- Wide appeal spanning both mass centres and urban multiplexes.
With its collections steadily inching closer to the lifetime figures of Jawan, the entire industry is watching closely. The question now is just how much further Dhurandhar can push its already record-shattering box office journey.
