Aditya Dhar’s ‘Dhurandhar’ starring Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, R Madhavan released in theatres on December 5 and post that one saw the release of James Cameron’s ‘Avatar Fire And Ash’. However, shockingly, ‘Dhurandhar’ remained unaffected by it and continued its box office run and has crossed Rs 600 crore now at the domestic box office. Dhurandhar Movie ReviewMeanwhile, Kartik Aaryan, Ananya panday’s ‘Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri’ has released in theatres today, December 25. This romantic comedy is getting good early reviews, however, due to two big movies like ‘Dhurandhar’ and ‘Avatar Fire And Ash’ dominating at the box office, the film has managed to secure relatively low number of shows, particularly across major urban markets. The advance bookings of the film have also been dull, thus, indicating limited traction among the audiences. Given that ‘TMMTMTTM’ is positioned as an urban-focused film, robust support from multiplexes was expected to boost its opening. Instead, insufficient allocation in premium theatres has placed the film in a challenging spot ahead of its December 25 release. Even with the restricted number of shows on offer, advance sales have been lacklustre, with total pre-bookings yet to cross the ₹1 crore mark, a day prior to release. In case there is good word of mouth for the film, more screens could be allotted to it but at the moment it’s a slow start. According to Sacnilk, ‘TMMTMTTM’ is likely to open at around Rs 5 crore net, a figure that would fall short of expectation. On its day, till afternoon, ‘TMMTMTTM’ has made Rs 2.29 crore so far. Meanwhile, on its day 21, ‘Dhurandhar’ has already made Rs 10.78 till the same time. The total collection of ‘Dhurandhar’ now stands at Rs 618.28 crore. The film will surely see the growth in its business due to Christmas holiday and the upward trend may continue till December 31 as well.
