‘Dhurandhar’ to become highest third week grosser
‘Dhurandhar’ is now inches away from recording the highest third-week collections of all time. Its third-weekend net collection is higher than the entire third-week net collection of all other Hindi films. It is second to only ‘Pushpa 2: The Rule’, which earned Rs 103 crores. Given the film’s sustained momentum, trade analysts believe ‘Dhurandhar’ could surpass ‘Pushpa 2: The Rule’s full third-week total as early as Monday.
