After spending more than a month in theatres, ‘Dhurandhar’ has added yet another feather to its cap by registering the biggest fifth weekend ever for a Hindi film. The Aditya Dhar directorial has also managed to remain consistent all through and remain unaffected by other big releases like ‘Avatar Fire And Ash’ and films like ‘Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri’, ‘Ikkis’ which released in weeks after. The Ranveer Singh starrer pulled in an impressive Rs. 33.25 crore net over the weekend, pushing its total Hindi net collection beyond Rs. 781 crore in just 33 days. With this momentum, the film is now closing in on ‘Pushpa 2’s long-standing Hindi net record of Rs. 812 crore and is expected to surpass the mark during its sixth weekend, cementing its place at the very top.‘Dhurandhar’ has also carved out a rare distinction in box office history. Unlike other members of the Rs 1000-crore club, which depended on pan-India, multi-language releases to inflate their numbers, this espionage drama has achieved its staggering figures purely through its Hindi version. That achievement sets it apart as a one-of-a-kind solo-language blockbuster.
While several big-ticket films have enjoyed explosive openings only to witness sharp drops after the initial weeks, ‘Dhurandhar’ has defied that pattern entirely. The Bollywood spy action thriller has displayed unprecedented consistency, continuing to earn strongly even in its fifth week. With its iron grip on ticket counters, the film has already sealed its status as an all-time blockbuster and is poised to chase a few more milestones before wrapping up its theatrical run.After making a good Rs. 12.75 crore on fifth Sunday, the film saw a huge drop on Monday, January 5 when the holiday period ended and made Rs. 4.75 crore. On fifth Tuesday, day 32, it made a similar number. On Wednesday, day 34, it saw a drop further, collecting Rs. 4.25 crore. On day 35, which is 5th Thursday, till afternoon, the film has collected Rs. 0.37 crore. The total collection of ‘Dhurandhar’ is now Rs. 786.37 crore.
