Aditya Dhar’s latest directorial, ‘Dhurandhar,’ featuring a stellar ensemble cast led by Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, and R Madhavan, has taken the box office by storm. After an electrifying opening weekend that saw the film cross the coveted Rs 100 crore mark, all eyes are now on its crucial Day 4 performance. Can this action-thriller maintain its impressive momentum into the weekdays? Let’s delve into the latest box office figures and analyze ‘Dhurandhar’s’ strong run.
Dhurandhar’s Phenomenal Opening Weekend: A Box Office Triumph
‘Dhurandhar’ kicked off its theatrical journey on December 5th to rave reviews and enthusiastic audience reception. The film, also starring Arjun Rampal and Sanjay Dutt, showcased remarkable growth over its inaugural weekend. On its opening day, Friday, the movie garnered an impressive Rs 28 crore. This momentum continued into Saturday, witnessing a significant 14% jump to Rs 32 crore. However, Sunday proved to be the standout day, with collections soaring to a staggering Rs 43 crore – a phenomenal 34% increase from Saturday. This powerful three-day run propelled ‘Dhurandhar’ past the monumental Rs 100 crore milestone, establishing it as one of the year’s fastest films to achieve this feat.
The Crucial Monday Test: Dhurandhar’s Day 4 Performance
The real litmus test for any film’s long-term success often lies in its first Monday collections, as it indicates audience retention after the weekend rush. ‘Dhurandhar’ has started its Day 4 (Monday) on a promising note. As of Monday morning, the film has already accumulated Rs 12.39 crore, pushing its total India collection to an astounding Rs 115.39 crore, according to Sacnilk. While a natural dip from Sunday’s peak is expected, maintaining collections in the Rs 20 crore range by the end of Monday would signify exceptional hold and solidify its position as a major commercial success. This resilience on a weekday is crucial for its sustained run.
Ranveer Singh’s Growing Stardom: Setting New Benchmarks
With ‘Dhurandhar,’ Ranveer Singh has added another significant feather to his cap, securing one of the strongest opening weekends of his illustrious career. The film’s initial three-day earnings have surpassed the opening weekend figures of some of his previous blockbusters. For instance, ‘Padmaavat’ collected Rs 78 crore in its opening weekend, ‘Simmba’ garnered Rs 75.11 crore, and ‘Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani’ made Rs 46.81 crore. ‘Dhurandhar’s’ swift ascent past the Rs 100 crore mark highlights not only the film’s appeal but also Ranveer Singh’s undeniable star power and box office pull.
Looking Ahead: What Does Day 4 Mean for Dhurandhar?
The consistent performance of ‘Dhurandhar’ through its opening weekend and into Day 4 suggests strong positive word-of-mouth. Its ability to command significant collections on a Monday, traditionally a slower day for cinema, bodes well for its trajectory in the coming week. If the film continues to draw audiences in substantial numbers, it is well-poised to achieve even greater milestones and establish itself as one of the year’s biggest hits in Bollywood.
