Dhurandhar Box Office Day 28: Hits Rs 728 Cr, Crushes Kartik's New Film
Dhurandhar Earns Rs 728 Cr, Kartik's Film Struggles

The Indian box office is witnessing a tale of two extremes. Aditya Dhar's espionage thriller 'Dhurandhar', starring Ranveer Singh, is scripting history with unstoppable collections, while the recently released romantic comedy 'Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri' (TMMTMTM) starring Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday has failed to connect with audiences.

Dhurandhar's Unstoppable Box Office March

Even in its fourth week, the Ranveer Singh-led film shows phenomenal hold. On its 28th day in theatres, which was its fourth Thursday, Dhurandhar added an impressive Rs 5.12 crore to its monumental total. This has propelled the film's net collection in India to a staggering Rs 728.37 crore.

The film's day-wise collections in its fourth week demonstrate its incredible staying power:

  • Day 22 (4th Friday): Rs 15 crore
  • Day 23 (4th Saturday): Rs 20.5 crore
  • Day 24 (4th Sunday): Rs 22.5 crore
  • Day 25 (4th Monday): Rs 10.5 crore
  • Day 26 (4th Tuesday): Rs 11.25 crore
  • Day 27 (4th Wednesday): Rs 11 crore
  • Day 28 (4th Thursday): Rs 5.12 crore

The film's weekly totals stand at Rs 207.25 crore (Week 1), Rs 253.25 crore (Week 2), and Rs 172 crore (Week 3), showcasing a record-breaking pattern since its release.

Tu Meri Main Tera's Disappointing Run

In stark contrast, the Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday starrer, which released on December 25, 2025, has turned out to be a major box office disappointment. The Christmas holiday release could not provide the necessary momentum for this romantic comedy.

On its eighth day (first Thursday), the film managed to collect a mere Rs 0.39 crore. This has taken its total net collection in India to just Rs 29.24 crore, failing to cross the Rs 30 crore mark even after over a week in cinemas.

The film's day-wise collections paint a grim picture:

  • Day 1 (Thursday): Rs 7.75 crore
  • Day 2 (Friday): Rs 5.25 crore
  • Day 3 (Saturday): Rs 5.5 crore
  • Day 4 (Sunday): Rs 5 crore
  • Day 5 (Monday): Rs 1.75 crore
  • Day 6 (Tuesday): Rs 1.75 crore
  • Day 7 (Wednesday): Rs 1.85 crore
  • Day 8 (Thursday): Rs 0.39 crore

The collections have remained in single digits since release, indicating a clear lack of audience interest and poor word-of-mouth.

A Clear Box Office Divide

The numbers present a dramatic divide. Dhurandhar, in its fourth week, is earning more than TMMTMTM did on its opening day. The spy thriller's fourth Thursday collection of Rs 5.12 crore is significantly higher than the new release's eighth-day earnings of Rs 0.39 crore.

This underlines the monumental success of Aditya Dhar's directorial vision and Ranveer Singh's powerhouse performance, which has captivated audiences across the country. Meanwhile, the failure of Kartik Aaryan's film highlights the shifting tastes of the audience and the critical importance of strong content over star power alone in today's cinematic landscape.
