Early Day 19 Update: Dhurandhar Crosses the Rs 600 Crore Mark
Dhurandhar, starring Ranveer Singh, has crossed a major milestone — the film’s worldwide gross has now entered the Rs 600 crore club. Early box office estimates from Day 19 indicate the film continues to hold steady in multiplexes and single screens, showing strong legs well after its initial release buzz.
What the Day 19 numbers look like
- Day 19 (early): Around Rs 3 crore nett (weekday early shows and matinees), enough to push the global tally past Rs 600 crore.
- Domestic vs Overseas split: Trade trackers estimate the domestic gross to be in the Rs 400–430 crore range, with overseas collections contributing roughly Rs 170–200 crore.
- Week-on-week hold: The film has shown a muted weekday drop of around 10–20% from the previous week, a healthy sign for a big entertainer in its third week.
Why Dhurandhar is holding well
The film’s sustained performance can be attributed to a few clear factors:
- Ranveer’s star power: His energetic presence and strong word-of-mouth continue to draw audiences across age groups.
- Wide appeal: The mix of action, emotion and music has helped the film work in both urban centres and mass circuits.
- Good weekday occupancy: Even on non-weekend days, shows in multiplexes are registering solid occupancy, aided by multiple language releases and streaming anticipation.
Context: How this ranks in Ranveer’s filmography
Crossing Rs 600 crore puts Dhurandhar among Ranveer Singh’s biggest commercial successes. While exact rank depends on final lifetime numbers and comparison to other franchise films, the milestone confirms the actor’s bankability at the box office and the film’s broad market resonance.
What trade experts are saying
Industry analysts note that while the film won’t be immune to normal drop-offs in later weeks, strong weekend holds and continued overseas demand could take the final worldwide gross higher. Some projections suggest a finish between Rs 620–650 crore worldwide, depending on performance in key international markets and holiday windows.
Don 3 Exit Buzz: What’s the buzz around Ranveer and the franchise?
Amid the box office celebrations, a separate buzz has been making rounds: rumours about Ranveer Singh’s reported exit from Don 3. Social media and entertainment channels have been abuzz with speculation over whether the actor will continue with the franchise.
- Nature of the reports: Sources describing the chatter call it early-stage speculation — citing scheduling conflicts, creative differences, or script-based decisions as possible reasons.
- No official confirmation yet: Neither Ranveer nor the makers of Don 3 have issued a statement confirming the reports. As with many industry rumours, clarity is expected only when either party speaks up.
- Fan reaction: The buzz has sparked divided reactions online — some fans are worried while others urge patience until official word arrives.
Looking ahead
Dhurandhar is still running in cinemas and will likely benefit from upcoming weekend footfalls and any regional re-releases. If the film keeps its current momentum, crossing higher thresholds is possible.
On the Don 3 front, all eyes will be on official announcements. Until then, the conversation will continue to blend box office triumphs with casting speculation, keeping both fans and trade pundits thoroughly engaged.
