Aditya Dhar's directorial venture 'Dhurandhar', featuring powerhouse performances by Ranveer Singh and Akshaye Khanna, is scripting a historic chapter at the Indian box office. The film, now in its fifth week, has not only maintained a phenomenal grip over audiences but has also shattered a significant record, officially becoming the highest-earning film in the Hindi language.
A Record-Breaking Fifth Week Run
Even after a month in theatres, 'Dhurandhar' shows no signs of slowing down. As per early estimates reported on sacnilk.com, the film collected an impressive Rs 4.25 crore on its 34th day, which was its fifth Wednesday. This indicates a remarkably steady performance with only a minor dip from previous weekdays. The Hindi version recorded a healthy 10.69% overall occupancy, a testament to its enduring appeal.
The fifth week began with a bang over the weekend, where 'Dhurandhar' scored the highest fifth-week collections ever. It surpassed the record previously held by 'Chhaava' (Rs 30 crore) by earning a staggering estimated Rs 33.25 crore net in just three days. The film earned around Rs 4.75 crore each on Monday and Tuesday, followed by Wednesday's Rs 4.25 crore, taking its fifth-week total to an estimated Rs 47 crore.
Week-Wise Collections and Historic Milestone
The film's monumental journey at the domestic box office is reflected in its week-wise India nett collections:
- Week 1: Rs 207.25 crore
- Week 2: Rs 253.25 crore
- Week 3: Rs 172 crore
- Week 4: Rs 106.5 crore
- Week 5: Rs 47 crore (estimated)
While the film consistently crossed the Rs 100 crore mark in its earlier weeks, this fifth week marks the first time it is set to hit the Rs 50 crore net milestone. By the end of Day 34, 'Dhurandhar' has amassed a colossal net total of Rs 786 crore in India. Its gross total collection domestically stands at an estimated Rs 943 crore.
Dhurandhar Crowned The Highest-Grossing Hindi Film
On Wednesday, 'Dhurandhar' achieved its most prestigious feat yet. As per official data released by the producers, its total India nett collection climbed to Rs 831.40 crore. This figure allowed it to officially surpass the Hindi lifetime business of Allu Arjun's blockbuster 'Pushpa 2: The Rule', which had earned around Rs 830 crore nett.
With this, the Ranveer Singh-starrer has raced past other top-grossing Hindi cinema giants, including:
- Shah Rukh Khan's 'Jawan' (Rs 643 crore nett)
- The horror-comedy hit 'Stree 2' (approx. Rs 627 crore nett)
The film's success is not confined to Indian shores. With a massive additional Rs 284 crore pouring in from overseas markets, the global gross collection of 'Dhurandhar' has now touched a breathtaking Rs 1227 crore. This cements its position as a global phenomenon and a landmark success for Hindi cinema, proving the potent combination of Aditya Dhar's vision and Ranveer Singh's star power.
