Dhurandhar: The Revenge is finally showing a slight slowdown at the box office after a huge opening and strong collections in the first few days. But even with this drop, the film is performing better than most movies. Its seventh day collections are higher than what many films earn on their opening day, showing how strong its run has been.
The film, starring Ranveer Singh, had a massive start on Thursday, boosted by record breaking paid previews. In its first four days, the film recorded three days with collections above ₹100 crore. By the end of the opening weekend, it had already earned ₹454 crore net in India.
On Monday, the film saw a drop of around 43 percent, which is normal after a big weekend. Still, it collected a solid ₹65 crore. On Tuesday, it added another ₹56 crore, taking its total to ₹575 crore net. By Wednesday, the seventh day, the film continued its strong run and earned around ₹47.70 crore. This pushed its total domestic collection to about ₹623 crore in less than a week.
Even though morning shows on Wednesday had the lowest audience turnout so far, the numbers improved as the day went on. Occupancy increased in afternoon and evening shows, helping the film maintain strong daily earnings.
The film has already beaten the lifetime collections of several big hits in just a few days. It has crossed films like Gadar 2, Pathaan, and Animal. It also went past Chhaava and is expected to cross Stree 2 very soon.
After this, only one film will remain ahead of it in India, which is its own first part, Dhurandhar. That film had set a huge record by earning around ₹895 crore in India when it released in December.
The sequel also features actors like R Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, Sara Arjun, and Rakesh Bedi. It is directed by Aditya Dhar and released on March 19.
With such strong numbers, many experts believe the film could even challenge the record of Dangal, which earned over ₹2000 crore worldwide. If this pace continues, the film may create history at the box office.
