Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar isn’t just holding strong — it’s accelerating. The Aditya Dhar-directed espionage drama, which hit theatres on December 5, has entered its second week with renewed momentum, pushing its domestic box office total past the ₹290 crore mark and firmly eyeing the ₹300 crore milestone.
What’s striking isn’t just the numbers — it’s the consistency. Instead of slowing down after a massive opening week, the film has picked up speed, powered by strong word-of-mouth, packed theatres, and repeat audiences.
Second Week, Bigger Numbers
After wrapping up a powerful first week, Dhurandhar opened its second Friday with ₹32.5 crore — a notable jump from its weekday trend. The weekend surge followed immediately, with Saturday alone adding a massive ₹53 crore (early estimates), pushing the film’s total India net collection to approximately ₹292.75 crore.
Trade insiders now expect the film to comfortably cross ₹300 crore by the end of its second weekend, placing it among the biggest blockbusters of the year.
Week 1 Breakdown: A Rock-Solid Run
The film’s first-week performance laid the foundation for its record-breaking run:
- Day 1 (Friday): ₹28 crore
- Day 2 (Saturday): ₹32 crore
- Day 3 (Sunday): ₹43 crore
- Day 4 (Monday): ₹23.25 crore
- Day 5 (Tuesday): ₹27 crore
- Day 6 (Wednesday): ₹27 crore
- Day 7 (Thursday): ₹27 crore
- Day 8 (Friday): ₹32.5 crore
- Day 9 (Saturday): ₹53 crore
Week 1 Total: ₹207.25 crore
The stability through weekdays signaled early that Dhurandhar wasn’t a front-loaded hit — it was built for endurance.
What’s Driving the Momentum
Inspired by real-life incidents, the film blends scale, emotion, and high-octane action. Ranveer Singh leads a heavyweight ensemble featuring Akshaye Khanna, R. Madhavan, and Sanjay Dutt — all delivering performances that have drawn praise across audiences and critics alike.
Aditya Dhar’s tight storytelling and grounded espionage setup have helped the film connect beyond the opening weekend hype, giving it long legs at the box office.
On Track to Break Ranveer’s Personal Record
At its current pace, Dhurandhar is poised to overtake Padmaavat — which earned ₹302.15 crore net in India — and become the highest-grossing film of Ranveer Singh’s career. With Sunday collections still to come, the record could fall sooner than expected.
Final Words
Dhurandhar isn’t just a commercial success — it’s a statement. The film has proven that strong content, scale, and performances can still drive massive theatrical business. As it marches toward ₹300 crore and beyond, Ranveer Singh may well be celebrating the biggest box office win of his career.
