The Aditya Dhar-directed spy thriller 'Dhurandhar' is scripting a phenomenal success story at the box office, showing absolutely no signs of slowing down. Starring Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, Arjun Rampal, Sara Arjun, and Rakesh Bedi, the film, based on true incidents, has entered its third week with thunderous momentum and is now on the cusp of a monumental milestone.
Historic Collections: The Road to Rs 500 Crore
As per live trade reports, 'Dhurandhar' minted an impressive Rs 22.5 crore on its third Friday (Day 15). The dominance continued on its third Saturday (Day 16), with early estimates suggesting an addition of over Rs 6.08 crore to its tally by midday. This has propelled the film's net collection in India to a staggering Rs 489.08 crore.
Industry analysts predict that at this relentless pace, the movie is all set to cross the coveted Rs 500 crore net mark in India during its third weekend itself. This achievement is particularly noteworthy as it comes despite facing direct competition from a major Hollywood release.
Outshining International Competition
The film's stellar performance in its third week is highlighted by its ability to outperform James Cameron's much-anticipated sci-fi sequel, 'Avatar: Fire and Ash'. The international release opened in India with Rs 20.05 crore on Friday and added approximately Rs 4.89 crore on Saturday morning, taking its total to around Rs 24.94 crore.
'Dhurandhar' not only collected more on its third Friday than 'Avatar 3's opening day but also maintained a stronger hold on audience attention through the weekend, solidifying its position as the audience's first choice.
