Director Aditya Dhar's ambitious film Dhurandhar continues to demonstrate impressive staying power at the box office. Starring Ranveer Singh and Akshaye Khanna in pivotal roles, the movie wrapped up its seventh weekend with unexpectedly strong numbers.
Weekend Recovery After Slow Start
The film experienced a shaky beginning to its seventh week, opening with its lowest daily figures since release. However, Dhurandhar quickly regained momentum over the weekend, showing remarkable resilience in the face of typical box office decline patterns.
Detailed Seventh Weekend Collections
According to early estimates from industry tracker Sacnilk, the film's performance followed this pattern:
- Friday: Approximately Rs 1.75 crore
- Saturday: Estimated Rs 3 crore (nearly double Friday's collection)
- Sunday: Around Rs 3.75 crore (further increase from Saturday)
This brought the total seventh weekend collection to an estimated Rs 8.5 crore, marking one of the strongest seventh-week performances in recent Indian cinema history.
Record-Breaking Journey Continues
Released on December 5, Dhurandhar has maintained a record-breaking trajectory since its debut. The film now stands second on the list of highest week 7 collections, trailing only behind Stree 2 which earned Rs 9.35 crore.
On Sunday alone, Dhurandhar surpassed the previous record held by Chhaava, which had collected Rs 6.53 crore during its seventh week.
Week-Wise Collection Breakdown
The film's consistent performance across weeks demonstrates its enduring appeal:
- Week 1: Rs 207.25 crore
- Week 2: Rs 253.25 crore
- Week 3: Rs 172 crore
- Week 4: Rs 106.5 crore
- Week 5: Rs 51.25 crore
- Week 6: Rs 26.35 crore
Approaching Historic Milestones
Dhurandhar has now accumulated a total net collection of Rs 825.1 crore domestically. The film has already secured its position as the highest-earning Hindi film of all time and continues its march toward the coveted Rs 1,000 crore club.
The movie's reported gross total stands at Rs 989.9 crore, with worldwide collections reaching an estimated Rs 1,283.5 crore. This sustained performance defies conventional box office expectations for films in their seventh week of release.
The strong weekend showing indicates that Dhurandhar maintains significant audience interest nearly two months after its initial release. Industry observers note that such longevity is rare in today's fast-paced entertainment landscape where films typically experience sharp declines after the first few weeks.
