Dhurandhar: The Revenge (Hindi) is all set for history today as it moves towards Rs. Earning Rs 100 crore in a day. The film missed the century by just Rs 10 crore. Rs 4 crore tomorrow. It hit the benchmark in all versions, but the industry prefers the Hindi version reporting, and it was a bit sad to see it miss it by so close. Not too sad because it was known there would be another shot at it on Sunday and it looks like it is.
The way the morning and matinee shows have gone today, along with the extended timings for evening and night, it looks like the film may break the benchmark today. At present the probable number is around Rs. Looks like. Net earning of Rs 105 crore, clear estimates will emerge as the day progresses. This was largely expected as today’s progress was ahead of yesterday’s. However, the limit was not demanding; This was the potential. No matter how strong the progress, ultimately, you can only collect as much as the capacity allows. This does not mean that the film did not have the potential to reach Rs. 100 crores; There is more than enough in it. The capacity shortage is acute in the larger centers, which are running near-full primetime shows throughout the weekend.
Today the growth is happening in key Hindi markets like Gujarat, Rajasthan, CP-CI, Bihar and surprisingly West Bengal. These are Sunday markets which have huge growth on Sundays. Although yesterday was a public holiday for Eid, there was still room to grow in these markets, and they are doing so. Delhi-NCR and Mysore are going to remain flat because the maximum temperature was on Saturday itself.
Dhurandhar: The Revenge (Hindi) yesterday created a single day record for Bollywood in almost everywhere except West Bengal, Assam, AP-Nizam and Tamil Nadu-Kerala. Most of the work in West Bengal and Assam will be done today, although AP-Nizam and Tamil Nadu-Kerala may miss out, which is below capacity, as the film faces competition from local releases, limiting its performance. Had this been a solo release, it would have been a record on the very first day. There were some Hindi belt circuits that were down from Pushpa 2 (Hindi) yesterday, but today it looks like it will get everything.
