Mumbai, India — January 3, 2026
The Indian box office witnessed contrasting trends on Friday, with Ranveer Singh’s ‘Dhurandhar’ continuing its dominant run even after a month, while new release ‘Ikkis’—the final film of late veteran actor Dharmendra—recorded a sharp drop on its second day despite positive critical reviews.
‘Ikkis’ Box Office Collection
‘Ikkis’, marking Agastya Nanda’s theatrical debut and the last on-screen appearance of Dharmendra, opened to favorable reviews and a steady first day at the box office. However, the film saw a 50% decline on Day 2.
Day 1 Collection: ₹7 crore
Day 2 Collection: ₹3.50 crore
Total (2 Days): ₹10.51 crore
The early dip indicates cautious audience turnout despite strong word-of-mouth from critics.
‘Dhurandhar’ Continues Its Blockbuster Run
‘Dhurandhar’ remains unstoppable at the box office. On its 29th day, the Ranveer Singh starrer collected ₹8.75 crore, outperforming several new releases.
Day 29 Collection: ₹8.75 crore
Total (29 Days): ₹747.77 crore
The film continues to draw strong footfall, cementing its position as one of the biggest earners of the year.
‘Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri’ Struggles
Despite aggressive promotions, Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday’s romantic drama has failed to gain momentum. By its ninth day, collections dropped to under a crore.

Total Collection: ₹30.65 crore
The film is now seeing earnings limited to the lakhs range.
