Record Update
Trade trackers note that Dhurandhar registered one of the year’s biggest first-Saturday numbers and currently ranks among the top first-Saturday collections historically — listed in the **Top 25** for best first Saturdays in Bollywood’s box-office records.
Why Dhurandhar Is Showing Momentum
- Real-incident hook: RAW operations, Operation Lyari and 1999–2001 geopolitical backdrop raise audience curiosity.
- Star cast pull: Ranveer Singh + ensemble (Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, R. Madhavan).
- Director’s tone: Aditya Dhar’s mass-action sensibilities (sharp execution, high-impact set-pieces).
- Wide release: 4000 screens gave extensive reach across circuits.
- Positive weekend word-of-mouth: Saturday growth signals multiplex and metro strength.
Weekend & Lifetime Projection (Early)
Using Day 1–2 trend and trade patterns, early estimates:
- Opening Weekend (est): ₹85–95 Cr
- India Net Lifetime (best case): ₹250–325 Cr
- India Net Lifetime (conservative): ₹150–180 Cr
Note: Budget ~₹250 Cr means break-even threshold will be high—overseas performance and weekday holds will be crucial.
Audience Reaction & Trade Notes
Early feedback praises Ranveer’s committed performance and the film’s large-scale action. Critics flagged a slightly heavy second half in places, but audiences are responding well in metros and mass circuits. Exhibitor reports show evening & night occupancy strongest; morning shows weaker as expected.
