Dhurandhar Day 21 Box Office: Christmas Boost for Ranveer Singh’s Film
Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar picked up a healthy Christmas-day bump on its third Thursday, adding a solid amount to its India run. The film collected ₹6.10 crore (net) on Day 21, a welcome surge compared to the mid-week numbers and a sign that festive footfalls helped revive weekday business.
Day-on-day movement and context
- Day 20 (Wednesday): ~₹1.90 crore (net)
- Day 21 (Thursday, Christmas): ₹6.10 crore (net)
- Day-on-day jump: about +221%, driven by holiday audiences and increased show counts in the evening slots
The big jump is typical of holiday dates — families and casual viewers return to cinemas, and multiplexes often add more shows for popular films. Dhurandhar benefitted from that seasonal uptick, particularly in urban centres and smaller cities where Ranveer’s mass appeal remains strong.
Three-week India total and gross estimates
With the Christmas-day addition, Dhurandhar’s India net tally after 21 days stands at approximately ₹177.40 crore. Translating to gross figures (using the usual net-to-gross ratio), the India gross is in the region of ₹212–215 crore.
These numbers put Dhurandhar comfortably into the successful bracket among recent Hindi releases, especially given that the film has continued to pull audiences beyond its initial weekend.
Where the gains came from
- Holiday footfalls: Christmas evening and family outings pushed occupancy in multiplexes.
- Regional strength: Single-screen circuits and smaller cities showed steady business, adding to overall collections.
- Word of mouth: Strong performances and word-of-mouth helped the film hold well through weekdays.
- Show counts: Exhibitors increased prime-time shows on Thursday to capitalise on the festive mood.
How Dhurandhar compares and what’s next
The Christmas spike mirrors what many mid-to-big-budget Hindi films experience during holiday stretches. For Dhurandhar, this pick-up is timely — it improves the third-week hold and sets up a decent run into the weekend. If collections remain steady, the film could comfortably cross the ₹180–185 crore net mark in the coming days, pushing the India gross even higher.
Expect distributors and exhibitors to monitor weekend pre-sales closely. If family audiences continue to show up, Dhurandhar’s overall tally will get a nice festive season push, further strengthening Ranveer Singh’s box-office run this year.
Bottom line
Christmas gave Dhurandhar the lift it needed on Day 21 — ₹6.10 crore (net) was a solid single-day return that brought the three-week India total to about ₹177.40 crore (net). With holiday momentum and steady word-of-mouth, the film is well placed to add meaningful numbers over the weekend.
