Closing in on yearly box office supremacy

By Day 17, Dhurandhar has clearly moved beyond “blockbuster” territory and entered record-book mode. Massive third-weekend growth, strong daily collections, and packed shows across markets prove that audience interest is still running hot. If this momentum continues, the film’s march toward even bigger milestones looks inevitable.
