Dhurandhar collected Rs. Earned around Rs 50.50-51 crore on its second Saturday at the Indian box office. This brings its total earnings of nine days to Rs. Approximately Rs 271 crore nett. The film is on track to earn a surprising Rs. crore in the second weekend. Earned Rs 135-140 crore, 50 percent more than the opening weekend.
The increase from Friday would be about 65 percent, which is normally a strong surge, but at this level of trading, it is unprecedented. Progress was indicating even stronger growth, but capacity issues prevented it from reaching such heights. Long runtimes naturally limit performance, leading to capacity constraints during prime hours. This was evident with Animal, which saw slower growth over the weekend for the same reason. However, Dhurandhar has managed to perform much better.
The second Saturday numbers are a record for Hindi films, reaching Rs. Pushpa 2 (Hindi) and Chhaava earned Rs 41.50 crore. It was only in 2023 when the second Saturday crossed Rs. 30 crores for the first time, and now Rs. 50 crore has been violated. Actually, this is the first time that a film has collected so many crores of rupees. Earning Rs 50 crore in a day after the first week. The film remains 20 per cent ahead of Pushpa 2 (Hindi), which if it maintains for its remaining run, will cross Rs. 600 crore nett. Of course, there is potential for it to be better as the trend so far has been stronger than Pushpa.
Dhurandhar has now become a cultural phenomenon, creeping into mainstream media and conversations with references to real-life events and political topics. This is reminiscent of the director’s previous film, Uri: The Surgical Strike, which saw something similar happen. That film made Rs. Earned Rs 8 crore on the first day and later collected Rs 8 crore. 245 crore nett. This time the trend is not only better but also on a much larger scale.
