Ranveer Singh's 2025 blockbuster, Dhurandhar, has demonstrated remarkable resilience at the box office, staging a powerful recovery after a recent dip caused by a major new release. The spy-thriller, which is facing stiff competition from the Hindi version of Prabhas' film The Raja Saab, has posted impressive numbers on its 37th day in theatres.
Dhurandhar Day 37 Box Office: A Stunning Comeback
According to data from the industry tracker Sacnilk, Dhurandhar earned a solid ₹5.75 crore net in India on its 37th day, which was its sixth Friday. This figure represents a substantial 64.29% growth from its earnings on the previous day. This surge has propelled the film's total domestic collection to an impressive ₹799.51 crore. The film is now on the cusp of a major milestone and is expected to comfortably cross the ₹800 crore mark domestically by the end of the current weekend. The worldwide box office figures for the Ranveer Singh-starrer are still awaited.
Clash with The Raja Saab: Dhurandhar Holds Its Ground
The box office battle presents an interesting scenario. While Prabhas' horror-comedy The Raja Saab had initially impacted Dhurandhar's collections, the spy-thriller has now managed to outperform the new film in a key metric. On the same day, The Raja Saab minted ₹27.83 crore overall, with its Hindi version contributing ₹5.2 crore net on its second day. Dhurandhar's single-day collection of ₹5.75 crore was about 10.6% higher than the Hindi version of its competitor. This is a significant achievement for Dhurandhar as a single-language film pitted against a major pan-India release.
Audience Demand and Regional Performance
The film's strong performance is reflected in its occupancy rates across the country. On day 37, Dhurandhar recorded an overall occupancy of 30.55% in Indian theatres. The day began with morning shows at 15.30%, picked up significantly in the afternoon to 37.58%, and maintained strong momentum in the evening (35.85%) and night shows (33.47%).
The regional breakdown of shows and occupancy reveals where the film's core strength lies:
- Delhi NCR led in sheer volume with 600 screenings, though occupancy was at 24.25%.
- Mumbai followed with 349 shows and a stronger 36.25% turnout.
- Pune saw a healthy 41.00% occupancy across 197 shows.
- The southern markets showed exceptional demand relative to show count. Bengaluru had a stellar 71.00% occupancy, while Hyderabad recorded 61.50%.
- Chennai, with only 19 screenings, posted an extraordinary occupancy rate of 87.25%, indicating highly concentrated demand.
Dhurandhar's journey highlights the enduring power of a well-received film, capable of bouncing back and inching towards historic box office figures despite fresh competition. Its performance sets a strong precedent for single-language blockbusters in the Indian cinematic landscape.
