Dhurandhar is trying to collect money. Earning around Rs 32 crores on third Saturday. This represents an increase of 50 percent from its Friday trading. This growth is lower than the 70-80 per cent growth that we are used to seeing these days on Saturdays in post-release weekends for films, especially those films that perform strongly in big centres. But still we are not used to seeing the levels at which the giants are trading anywhere close to double that of the previous record holders, so growth will naturally appear relatively low.
The third weekend is on track to collect Rs. 85-90 crore nett, which makes it not only Rs. Keeps on the path to cross. 700 crores but became the highest grossing Hindi film of all time domestically, beating Pushpa 2 (Hindi). The cumulative box office collection of the film after today is Rs. Approximately Rs 491 crore nett. It will cross Rs. Tomorrow, on the seventeenth day of its release, it will earn Rs 500 crore. Rupee. The Rs 800 crore nett milestone is also still in play, although there is a lot of work to be done in the coming weeks.
Two weeks ago, when Dhurandhar released, the atmosphere was largely somber. Due to the limitations of the genre and genre, despite the film performing well, pre-sales were not strong, and there was not much expectation for a long time. There was also a forced controversy before the release regarding how the lead actor “insulted” the sentiments related to Kantara, which also led to some “boycott” calls. Then even more negativity started emerging from reports feeding into the industry. In short, obituaries were written and some were even celebratory.
Fast forward to today, the film is bringing in numbers that no one had ever imagined from a Bollywood film, leave alone a film that was dismissed as an “urban action type” that has no takers. It’s often said that box office is unpredictable, which seems like a bit of a stretch to say, because of course, it can be predicted. But running like hell is what gives this phrase its meaning, because it is an outcome that no one could have predicted.
