Just when trade watchers thought Dhurandhar might finally be easing off after a blockbuster run, the Ranveer Singh–led spectacle has surprised everyone once again. Now well into its sixth week in theatres, the film continues to pull audiences, proving that its box office journey is far from over.
Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar has not only dominated since its December 5 release, but has also started closing the gap with The Raja Saab, the Prabhas starrer that entered theatres amid massive expectations.
A Midweek Boost That Changed the Narrative
After weeks of posting massive double-digit numbers, Dhurandhar did show signs of cooling off earlier this week. Daily collections dipped into the ₹2 crore range, sparking conversations about whether the film had finally hit its saturation point.
However, Wednesday flipped the script.
According to Sacnilk estimates, the film climbed back to the ₹3 crore mark, matching its sixth Friday performance. This midweek jump clearly suggests that word-of-mouth and repeat audiences are still working in the film’s favour.
Week 6 Performance So Far
Here’s how Dhurandhar has fared in its sixth week:
- Friday: ₹3.5 crore
- Saturday: ₹5.75 crore
- Sunday: ₹6.15 crore
- Monday: ₹2.35 crore
- Tuesday: ₹2.6 crore
With Wednesday’s renewed momentum, the film’s Week 6 total now stands at approximately ₹23.35 crore. Trade experts expect the final tally for the week to comfortably cross ₹25 crore, an impressive feat this late into its theatrical run.
Week-by-Week Box Office Breakdown
The scale of Dhurandhar’s success becomes clearer when you look at its week-wise numbers:
- Week 1: ₹207.25 crore
- Week 2: ₹253.25 crore
- Week 3: ₹172 crore
- Week 4: ₹106.5 crore
- Week 5: ₹51.25 crore
Very few films manage to maintain this kind of consistency beyond the first month, making Dhurandhar’s run particularly remarkable.
Total Collections: A Global Juggernaut
The film’s overall numbers are now firmly in blockbuster territory:
- India Nett: ₹813 crore
- All-India Gross: ₹976.1 crore
- Overseas Collection: ₹293 crore
That brings Dhurandhar’s worldwide total to an estimated ₹1,269.1 crore, placing it among the biggest earners in recent cinema history.
Dhurandhar vs The Raja Saab: A Tight Daily Battle
When Prabhas’s The Raja Saab hit screens, many expected it to dent Dhurandhar’s dominance immediately. While the Prabhas-led film did take the lead initially, the gap between the two films has started narrowing.
On Wednesday:
- The Raja Saab earned an estimated ₹5.25 crore across languages
- Telugu contributed ₹3.35 crore
- Hindi collections stood at ₹1.85 crore
With Dhurandhar holding steady and showing midweek growth, the race for daily supremacy has become far more competitive than anticipated.
Final Words
Six weeks in, Dhurandhar continues to defy the usual box office slowdown. Strong storytelling, mass appeal, and sustained audience interest have turned the film into a long-distance runner rather than a short-term sprinter.
As The Raja Saab and Dhurandhar battle it out for attention, the coming days will decide whether Ranveer Singh’s blockbuster can actually overtake its newer rival on daily figures. Either way, Dhurandhar has already secured its place as one of the most dominant theatrical successes of the year.
