In the world of cinema, 'Dhurandhar' has made waves by achieving record-breaking box office collections in its seventh week, featuring the talented Ranveer Singh and Akshaye Khanna in leading roles. However, it's important to note that on its seventh Monday, the film experienced a noticeable decline, marking a new low at the Indian box office. As we delve deeper into the performance of this cinematic piece, we find it is entering the final phase of its theatrical run, which has led to some fluctuations in its earnings.
Initially, 'Dhurandhar' faced a soft start in its seventh week, with collections plummeting to just Rs 1.40 crore on Monday—a significant drop for a film that had been dominating the charts since its release. According to a report from sacnilk, the film began the week on a slightly better note with earnings of Rs 1.75 crore but saw an impressive surge midweek, doubling its initial figures to reach estimated totals of Rs 3 crore and Rs 3.75 crore on subsequent days. By the end of Monday, the total for week seven stood at an impressive estimate of Rs 9.9 crore.
Despite the recent dip, 'Dhurandhar' has set a remarkable new benchmark, now holding the title for the highest collections for a Hindi film in its seventh week, surpassing the previous record set by 'Stree 2', which garnered approximately Rs 9.35 crore.
Let’s break down the week-by-week collection figures for 'Dhurandhar':
- Week 1: Rs 207.25 Cr
- Week 2: Rs 253.25 Cr
- Week 3: Rs 172 Cr
- Week 4: Rs 106.5 Cr
- Week 5: Rs 51.25 Cr
- Week 6: Rs 26.35 Cr
The film enjoyed a strong run at the box office, maintaining its momentum for four consecutive weeks, each surpassing the Rs 100 crore mark. However, as time progressed, a gradual decline in earnings became evident.
Interestingly, even with a decrease in weekly collections, 'Dhurandhar' continues to outshine newer releases, including 'Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos', and has effectively managed to outperform competition from other films such as 'Avatar: Fire and Ash', 'Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri', 'Ikkis', and 'The Raja Saab'.
In terms of total earnings, 'Dhurandhar' has reached a staggering net collection of Rs 826.41 crore, solidifying its status as the highest-grossing single-language film in box office history. With its Indian gross approximated at Rs 989.9 crore, the question arises: will 'Dhurandhar' manage to cross the illustrious Rs 1,000 crore mark and eventually surpass the lifetime earnings of Yash's blockbuster 'KGF: Chapter 2'? As for its worldwide collection, it currently stands at around Rs 1283.5 crore, showcasing its global appeal.
