Blockbusters like ‘Jawan’, ‘Animal’, ‘Dangal’, and ‘Pathaan’ were not even close to Dhurandhar’s third-weekend dominance.
📊 Third Weekend Day-Wise Collection
The film showed consistent growth across all three days, a clear indicator of strong word-of-mouth:
Friday: ₹23.70 crore
Saturday: ₹35.70 crore
Sunday: ₹40.30 crore
Such upward momentum in the third week is considered extremely rare in Hindi cinema.
🇮🇳 India Box Office Crosses ₹600 Crore
Domestically, Dhurandhar has amassed ₹683.46 crore so far. The film earned ₹218 crore in its opening week, followed by ₹261.50 crore in week two, and nearly ₹100 crore in its third weekend alone—highlighting its sustained audience pull.
🌎 Overseas Box Office Performance
The film’s success is not limited to India. Overseas collections have surged to ₹186.15 crore, pushing the total international three-week earnings beyond ₹180 crore and confirming Dhurandhar’s global appeal.
🎬 Hollywood Competition Falls Short
Interestingly, Dhurandhar has also outperformed major Hollywood releases at the Indian box office. The latest ‘Avatar’ film, released during the same period, managed only ₹68.58 crore in its opening weekend, failing to match the momentum of the Indian blockbuster.
