Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar is showing exceptional stability at the box office, proving that its opening-weekend success was no fluke. After delivering a powerful three-day run with a domestic total of ₹103 crore, the film has now passed the crucial Monday test with ease, registering impressive hold despite being a weekday.
Solid Weekend Leads to a Strong Monday
Dhurandhar started well and continued to grow steadily over the weekend, with notable jumps of 14% on Day 2 and 34% on Day 3, bringing its first-three-day India total to ₹103 crore. The real test, however, arrived on Monday — and the film delivered confidently.
According to Sacnilk, the movie recorded:
-
13% morning occupancy
-
26% afternoon occupancy
-
37.71% evening occupancy
These numbers are nearly on par with its Friday performance, indicating excellent word-of-mouth and sustained audience interest. Early estimates suggest that the film collected around ₹23 crore net on Monday, taking its total domestic collection to ₹126 crore in just four days.
Dhurandhar Overtakes Sikandar’s Lifetime Collection
With ₹126 crore already in the bag, Dhurandhar has surpassed the lifetime domestic earnings of Salman Khan’s Sikandar (₹109.83 crore). The current trend suggests that the film is well on track to:
-
Cross ₹150 crore domestically within the first week, and
-
Breach ₹250 crore worldwide by the second weekend, if momentum continues.
