DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE SLOWS DOWN; WILL DACOIT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE DRY PERIOD?
Dhurandhar The Revenge has slowed down a bit, but continues to find a steady audience across the country. After collecting Rs. 590 crores in Week 1 and Rs. 228.97 crores in Week 2, it started the third week with a bang. While the second Thursday collections were Rs. 16 crores, the film saw a jump on its third Friday as it earned Rs. 20 crores. This was possible due to the Good Friday holiday and zero competition.
As a result, the Saturday and Sunday jumps were low. On Saturday, the film collected Rs. 23 crores, while Sunday earnings were Rs. 25 crores. On Monday, it slipped to single digits for the first time, collecting Rs. 8.50 crores. Hence, its 26-day collections were Rs. 895.83 crores. This also means that it crossed the Rs. 900 crore club on Tuesday. By the end of the third week, the film is expected to earn in the range of Rs. 915 and 920 crores.
This way, the third-week collections are expected to be around Rs. 100 crores. If it reaches Rs. 920 crore mark by Thursday, it means that it’ll have to earn Rs. 80 crores more to hit the coveted Rs. 1000 crore mark. Thankfully for the makers, there’s limited competition on Friday, April 10. Yet, collecting Rs. 80 odd crores will be a challenge now that the film is seeing dropping collections. But the box office is unpredictable and if it manages to collect steadily over the next few weeks, the unthinkable can happen.
This week will see the release of Dacoit. It’s a bi-lingual shot in Telugu as well as Hindi and stars Adivi Sesh, Mrunal Thakur and Anurag Kashyap. The promotions for this film have been going on for a long time. The makers released the teaser back in December and held an event for it then.
Initially, the film was scheduled to be released on March 19 to coincide with the Ugadi holiday. But due to strong competition from Dhurandhar The Revenge, the makers chose to postpone the release to April 10.
The advance booking for the Telugu version is very strong in India as well as overseas. However, the ticket sales in Hindi are poor. The hope is that the film would open at Rs. 1 crore and then grow well with positive word-of-mouth. The timing is right as Dhurandhar The Revenge has been massively consumed. Hence, those wanting to take a trip to the cinema over the weekend should prefer Dacoit.
