Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar has hit a major milestone — the film has crossed Rs 700 crore (nett) in India, according to box-office tracker Sacnilk. The film reached this mark on Day 25 of its theatrical run, a notable achievement that underlines its strong hold with audiences months into release.
Day 25 box office: the big number and what it means
Crossing the Rs 700 crore nett barrier puts Dhurandhar in an elite group of recent Hindi releases. This landmark reflects sustained footfalls across urban and mass circuits, and is a testament to the film’s broad appeal, Ranveer’s star power, and positive word-of-mouth that kept audiences coming back even after the initial rush.
Why the milestone matters
- Commercial validation: 700 crore nett is a clear indicator of blockbuster status in today’s market.
- Long runability: Hitting this figure on Day 25 shows the film isn’t just front-loaded; it enjoyed steady demand over weekdays as well as weekends.
- Boost for stakeholders: The cast, director and producers all benefit from the strong theatrical performance, while distributors and exhibitors see continued returns.
Occupancy trends on the fourth Monday (December 29)
Fourth Mondays typically show a dip from weekend highs, but Dhurandhar managed a respectable hold on December 29. Sacnilk’s trend indicators suggested that while morning and early-afternoon shows saw lighter footfalls, evening and late-night screenings remained healthy — a pattern common for adult-skewing entertainers and star-driven pictures.
Key points on occupancy:
- Weekday pattern: Minor drops in matinees, with audiences favoring evening time slots.
- Dedicated fan pull: Strong showings in single-screen and mass-dominated centres helped sustain daily totals.
- Good urban hold: Multiplex occupancies in metros remained strong for prime shows, ensuring steady weekday income.
How the film held through weekdays and weekends
Dhurandhar’s run shows a classic blockbuster curve — a robust opening and weekend followed by steady weekdays rather than a sharp fall. Positive reviews, audience conversations on social media, and repeat viewings contributed to the film’s resilience. Even on weekdays like December 29, the film’s share of prime-time seats helped push collections toward that 700-crore milestone.
Outlook: what to expect next
With the Rs 700 crore nett figure achieved, Dhurandhar still has momentum going into the final weeks of its theatrical window. Expect steady but gradual declines typical of long-running hits. Holiday pockets, any regional releases, and word-of-mouth will dictate how far the film climbs beyond this landmark.
For now, Ranveer Singh and the team can celebrate a major commercial success — Dhurandhar’s Day 25 milestone reinforces its place among the big earners of the year and cements its status as one of the season’s definitive crowd-pleasers.
