DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE saw a fantastic hold on Wednesday as it collected 42 crore nett which is just around 10% down from the previous day. The Eid period is over but its Ram Navami on Thursday which should give the film a boost on Thursday. The evenings collections on Wednesday saw this benefit at multiplexes.

The film also crossed the 500 crore nett mark in seven days plus paid previews as collections now stand at 532crore nett. The extended first week now looks to be around 580 crore nett and if it really gets a good jump on Thursday, then the film may even have surpassed all original Hindi films except for DHURANDHAR 1.

The film is looking to set a new benchmark in every circuit with the tougher ones likely to be CP Berar and Odisha where it will be close in terms of the PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE numbers. The 200 crore nett mark in Mumbai circuit was breached by PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE a little more than a year back and this film is now looking to cross 300 crore nett. Its locked to be the first film to cross 200 crore nett in Delhi/UP and maybe East Punjab can do 100 crore nett. The film is just not beating records but shattering them.

The film also has a 23-24 crore nett contribution from languages which means in all versions. It is sure to be 600 crore nett over its extended first week. The film will probably end third week in terms of business from languages after JAWAN and ANIMAL though this is not counting MAHAVATAR NARSIMHA, which is easily the best in terms of languages but that is an animation film.

The collections of DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE (Hindi) are as follows.   

Paid Previews - 40,00,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 75,00,00,000 apprx

Friday - 72,00,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 97,00,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 42,00,00,000 apprx

----------------------------------------

DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE has smashed the first week record by leaps and bounds as it collects 492 crore nett which is 130 crore nett more than the previous record holder PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE. The Allu Arjun-starrer itself was 44 crore nett more than PATHAAN, which is a huge margin. It means that over just the first week, DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE has collected around 175 crore nett more than any original Hindi film.

It has had the holiday benefit but so have many other films outside PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE and beating records by such margins is just something that can be dreamed about. A few years back, no original Hindi film had even crossed 400 crore nett lifetime and here is a film doing that in just one week. It shows where business has gone today but for the correct films.

The downside to this is the smaller/medium film is not getting the business it used to when no original Hindi film had crossed 400 crore nett. The positive is today when you get a big film right, the upside from theatrical is huge. The non theatrical rights pale into significance because if you ae really going to hit pay dirt, then it will be through theatrical and that is what DHURANDHAR has done. The film split into parts will rake in a profit of easily over 1000 crore with revenue from theatres alone across the world being more than 1100 crore for both parts.

The top first week collections of all time are as follows.

2. Pushpa 2 - The Rule - 3,60,92,00,000

3. Pathaan - 3,17,06,00,000

4. Jawan - 3,15,79,00,000

5. Animal- 2,92,36,00,000

6. Gadar 2 - 2,81,87,00,000

7. Stree 2 - 2,64,60,00,000

8. KGF - Chapter 2 - 2,50,51,00,000

9. Baahubali 2: The Conclusion - 2,46,47,00,000

10. Chhaava - 2,10,59,00,000

11. Sultan - 2,08,99,00,000

12. Tiger Zinda Hai - 2,06,04,00,000

13. War 2,03,39,00,000

14. Tiger 3 - 2,02,41,00,000

15. Sanju - 2,00,16,00,000

----------------------------------------

DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE ended the week with Thursday collecting a huge 44 crore nett. The first day started with a 75 crore nett figure smashing all records and its pretty much the same story on Thursday. Its an eight day week and the drop from day one till day eight is just 40% with collections at a level that has never been seen before.

The extended eight day week total is 576 crore nett which is simply phenomenal and that chase for a 1000 crore nett plus total is on though for that mark there needs to be good hold today even though the film has collected this huge amount in the first week. A drop will happen as it was a holiday for Ram Navami yesterday which pushed collections a little. The growth could have been more but the film was very strong on Wednesday evening which could not be replicated on Thursday evening.

The collections of DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE (Hindi) are as follows.

Paid Previews - 40,00,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 75,00,00,000 apprx

Friday - 72,00,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 97,00,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 1,00,00,00,000 apprx

Monday - 60,00,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 46,00,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 42,00,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 44,00,00,000 apprx

----------------------------------------

DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE continued to smash records as it collected around 37 crore nett on its second Friday which is easily the highest collections ever seen on the second Friday. Also considering the level of collections, a 20 % drop is hardly anything. Normally, there is a jump in ticket pricing to weekend rates on the second Friday but this was not the case here as pricing has been pretty much similar from the first day with the makers not dropping rates for the weekdays.

This now takes the film to 613 crore nett and and its pretty certain to be the highest grossing Hindi film within two weeks. The second weekend itself will see the film go to number two with only the first part of DHURANDHAR ahead of it. The first part of the film got a lot of mileage on national television for the political side of the film which really pushed collections but this time its less and its the film doing the talking.

The weekend will no doubt show huge figures and it will be Monday that can be the first test especially as it could be the first time that ticket pricing is lowered. No doubt there will be a hold but at what level remains to be seen. If Monday is only 20-30% down, then it will be a bumper initial film trending like a content film through April. The dubbed versions have also seen a good hold on the second Friday with collections generally better than the day before and that includes the Tamil version. This Friday hold means it has a shot to beat JAWAN figure for dubbed versions though a lot depends where Monday lands.

The collections of DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE (Hindi) are as follows.   

Paid Previews - 40,00,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 75,00,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 44,00,00,000 apprx

Friday - 37,00,00,000 apprx

----------------------------------------

DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE set a new record for the highest second Friday of all time with collections of 37 crore nett beating the previous record by around 20%. The record was held by the first part of the film. As far as the second Fridays go, this franchise is totally dominant with collections much higher than the rest.

Outside this franchise there are no films above 25 crore nett and this 37 crore nett has come when a 20 crore nett collection on the second Friday is a huge task. Only PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE, ANIMAL and CHHAAVA have managed it outside the DHURANDHAR films. If we back to pre pandemic time, then the best collection for an original Hindi film was 18 crore nett for DANGAL which has been doubled now by DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE.

Looking at the list below it again has to said that whoever came up with the idea to put this film into two parts was a god send for the film though it may not have been a hard decision as the budget was big and recovery was looking tough when the units of the first part came out. Now its all history as both films are among the biggest HITS ever.

Below are the top twenty second Fridays of all time.

2. Dhurandhar - 30,88,00,000 

3. Pushpa 2 - The Rule - 24,48,00,000

4. Chhaava - 23,02,00,000

5. Animal - 22,27,00,000

6. Baahubali 2: The Conclusion - 19,81,00,000

7. Gadar 2 - 19,62,00,000

8. The Kashmir Files - 18,86,00,000

9. Stree 2 - 18,27,00,000

10. Dangal - 17,84,00,000

11. Saiyaara - 17,77,00,000

12. Jawan - 16,21,00,000

13. PK - 14,52,00,000

14. RRR (Hindi) - 13,35,00,000

15. Pathaan - 12,73,00,000

16. Bajrangi Bhaijaan - 12,56,00,000

17. Sanju - 12,09,00,000

18. Bajirao Mastani - 12,00,00,000 (Holiday)

19. Kabir Singh - 11,86,00,000

20. Tiger Zinda Hai - 11,55,00,000

----------------------------------------

DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE added another phenomenal 55 cr on its second Saturday which is a solid 50% growth on the previous day. The growth may not look as big as other films but that's because the numbers are at levels which are unreal. So, there will be limitations in terms of growth. The film will be easily be a second weekend record but it will be Monday that will tell if it will be a second week record.

This is because DHURANDHAR part 1 was phenomenal from the second Monday and eventually did 240 crore nett in the second week which is a big target. There will be a boost with the Mahavir Jayanti holiday on Tuesday. So, it should be a 250 crore nett plus week which again will be a first but it depends on where Monday lands.

The film hit the 200 crore nett mark in Mumbai circuit on Saturday with now DHURANDHAR, CHHAAVA and PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE ahead of it and it should cross all three in the long run and the 300 crore nett mark. The film is going to set new records everywhere and its easier to talk about where it may NOT set records and its possible that CP Berar and Odisha will not hit new highs.

The dubbed versions stand at around 34 crore nett and are chasing the 46 crore nett of ANIMAL and 60 crore nett of JAWAN. It remains to be seen if it can reach the total of JAWAN while it should be able to beat ANIMAL.

The collections of DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE (Hindi) are as follows.

Paid Previews - 40,00,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 75,00,00,000 apprx

Friday - 72,00,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 97,00,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 1,00,00,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 46,00,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 42,00,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 55,00,00,000 apprx

DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE went on a box office carnage on Saturday which was a national holiday for Eid and on Sunday it went even a little better as it collected around 100 crore nett. Bassi Eid falling on a Sunday did the trick as some of the mass centres do better on the second day of Eid then the actual national holiday. The film is running riot at the box office and smashed records like nothing before.

The weekend including paid previews is 384 crore nett and this is a total that no film has even managed in seven days as PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE did 360 crore nett in seven days. As for original Hindi films, PATHAAN did around 317 crore nett. There is a further 12 crore nett in languages which takes the film to almost 400 crore nett in all versions. The business on Saturday and Sunday is a box office dream with insane occupancy for present times on huge capacity.

Its records all over though it did not reach the Sunday figures of PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE in CP Berar and Odisha on Sunday. But this is a regional thing as DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE has a heavy North flavour. When you take that into consideration, then for films with a Northern touch to achieve similar numbers to PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE in these two circuits itself is a crazy achievement.

The advances are historic for Monday and its going to be a huge hold and its pretty certain that a 50 crore nett day is loading and it could even be 60 crore nett. The film crossed 100 crore nett in Mumbai on Sunday and it will do the same time in Delhi/UP in a few days time. East Punjab could even be looking at 100 crore nett in the long run making it the third circuit to hit milestone. In fact even Mysore doing a 100 crore nett would be no surprise.

The collections of DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE are as follows.

Paid Previews - 40,00,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 75,00,00,000 apprx

Friday - 72,00,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 97,00,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 1,00,00,00,000 apprx

--------------------------------------

DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE (Hindi) collected a huge 677 crore worldwide over its extended weekend and it was record breaking practically everywhere. The film is already among the top ten grossing original Hindi films worldwide and will easily be top of the pile. For this film now, its not just about being top of the pile but by what margin.

The film has another 15 crore gross coming from other versions of the film which takes the film to 692 crore and the biggest ever total when you include multiple versions for a similar period is PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE at around 730 crore and this is the only comparison. DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE is around 40 crore less and will eat into this gap over the weekdays. There is no Gulf here and if you take what it could have done in Gulf then the figure would have easily surpassed PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE.

Gulf is always going to be an issue with patriotic films especially the ones like DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE which have a Pakistan angle. But you take that hit as this angle sells like anything in India especially when the protagonist does damage in the neighbouring country. The film can hit the 1000 crore mark worldwide by the end of the week.

The worldwide collections of DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE till date are as follows. 

India - 465 crore (384 crore nett)

Overseas - 212 crore ($23 million)

--------------------------------------

DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE had an unbelievable Monday as it collected 60 crore nett. If we take the first day of all the films outside DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE, then this Monday would be standing at number 3 after PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE and JAWAN. So the Monday comparisons are pointless as the film competes with the first days of the biggest films.

The total collections of the film stand at 444 crore nett including paid previews and the week could be looking at a first week total of 575 crore nett. There was the Eid factor still in play on Monday which has aided collections. Normally in this period you look at East Punjab where Eid is not a factor for a trend but that circuits is down only 15% from Friday. It could be that its going to outperform here due to that huge North flavour in the film. The overall drop is around 18% from Friday with states like UP getting a boost from Eid.

The film has seen ticket prices held at similar rates as the weekend and the weekend was showing an average ticket price of 330 as admits were 1.40 crore plus apprx. The nationals chains were showing an insane ATP of around 440. Post pandemic has seen free tickets and discounted tickets given and here is a film with crazy ticket prices being lapped up. When the content is there and the audience wants to see, then pricing just does not come in the way.

The regional versions of the film are okay. There has been a fall in the Tamil version and it has little chance to reach the figures of JAWAN. The Telugu version is much better and it may challenge the numbers of ANIMAL though it remains to be seen how it goes over the next few days. Both JAWAN and ANIMAL had names from these markets which makes a huge difference as DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE is superior film. But business in regional will be so so unless the Telugu market can really sustain over the next few weeks. Its a different story for the Hindi version in the South as that is far bigger than JAWAN and ANIMAL which are among the bigger films in the South markets.

The collections of DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE (Hindi) are as follows.

Paid Previews - 40,00,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 75,00,00,000 apprx

Friday - 72,00,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 97,00,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 1,00,00,00,000 apprx

Monday - 60,00,00,000 apprx

--------------------------------------

DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE collected an insane 60 crore nett on Monday smashing all records. There is a little Eid factor in play but even on fair value, its way above the rest. There is TIGER 3 in second place but it was day two for that film and a national holiday. So, that can be taken out of the equation. Basically it means the 50 crore nett figure on a normal Monday for a blockbuster film is now a possibility.

It was only 2019 that a film managed to hit 50 crore nett on day one for the first time. It can be said that these unprecedented DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE figures are impossible to beat but the business for the bigger films with the content are growing so fast that you just don't know where you will be in a year or two.

Basically the box office is not shared like it used to be earlier with the bigger films taking the bigger piece of the cake leaving the other films with lesser collections and benefitting the blockbuster film. The box office now remains dead for weeks and then suddenly it erupts and then meanders along until the next eruption though DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE is a volcanic eruption of another level.

The top first Mondays of all time are as follows.

2. Tiger 3 - 56.08 crore (Holiday, Day Two)

3. Pushpa 2 - The Rule - 40.74 crore

4. Baahubali 2: The Conclusion - 39.81 crore (Partial Holiday)

5. Gadar 2 - 38.36 crore

6. Animal (Hindi) - 37.68 crore

7. Stree 2 - 36.87 crore (Holiday)

8. Tiger Zinda Hai - 36.53 (Holiday)

9. Housefull 4 - 34.12 crore (Holiday)

10. Krrish 3 - 29.64 crore (Holiday)

11. Jawan (Hindi) - 28.61 crore

12. Bajrangi Bhaijaan - 26.78 crore (Holiday)

13. KGF - Chapter 2 - 25.24 crore

14. Dangal - 24.98 crore

15. Sanju - 24.63 crore

16. Pathaan - 24.51 crore

17. Saiyaara - 23.54 crore

18. Chhavva - 23.12 crore

19. Simmba - 21.19 crore 

20. PK - 21.15 crore

--------------------------------------

DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE continued its outstanding run on Tuesday as it collected 46 crore nett which takes the film to 490 crore nett in six days and paid previews. The collections are down from the Monday but this is post Eid and that Eid affect gets lesser and lesser each day. The collections in centres where Eid has a limited impact held up better on Tuesday.

The are places which are still in that Eid holiday zone especially in the state of UP. It will all wind down from today or tomorrow at the latest and the film will then find a normal level though its a holiday for Ram Navami on Thursday. So, it will be Friday when the film has no holiday factor. The Tuesday business of the film still remains well above the likes PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE and ANIMAL. The first week had already set a record in just the first four days and the traditional seven day first week looks like going to around 485-490 crore nett while the extended first week is set to be around 565 crore nett plus.

The film has simply torn up the record books in the first week and has smashed practically every single record there is. The second week will see it compete with its predecessor, the first part of DHURANDHAR, and no doubt it will smash the second weekend of that film but things will get tougher from the second Monday as its from here that DHURANDHAR part one went to another level.

Down South, the film is doing well in Telugu but not in Tamil. The collections here are around 20 crore nett so far but it does not look like it will reach the level of JAWAN or even ANIMAL in its other language versions.

The collections of DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE (Hindi) are as follows.

Paid Previews - 40,00,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 75,00,00,000 apprx

Friday - 72,00,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 97,00,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 1,00,00,00,000 apprx

Monday - 60,00,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 46,00,00,000 apprx

--------------------------------------

DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE recorded the second highest first Tuesday all time with GADAR 2 being top but the latter had a huge national holiday of Independence Day. So, on fair value, the DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE's Tuesday is better. The film has got a little benefit of Eid on Tuesday but still collections would easily be above 40 crore nett if all normal.

The first Tuesday also sees both parts of DHURANDHAR in the top ten with DHURANDHAR Part 1 in ninth place. On Friday, its likely that this franchise will hold top places. So, in terms of second Fridays, it will be DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE holding top place and DHURANDHAR holding second place or vice versa. Its likely to be the same story through the second week. This has never happened before and is basically about the domination of this franchise at the box office over the last 4 months.

For the record, the film has collected 20 crore nett more than DHURANDHAR Part 1 on the first Tuesday but this gap will close everyday from here. There are only four films above 30 crore nett and they are GADAR 2, DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE, PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE and ANIMAL.

The top first Tuesday collections of all time are below 

1. Gadar 2 - 55,23,00,000 (Holiday)

3. Pushpa 2 - The Rule - 34,12,00,000 

4. Animal - 33,17,00,000 

5. Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (Hindi) - 29,78,00,00

6. Simmba - 27,93,00,000 (Holiday)

7. War - 27,13,00,000 (Holiday)

8. Kick - 26,82,00,000 (Holiday) 

9. Dhurandhar - 25,55,00,000

10. Stree 2 - 25,00,00,000 apprx (Partial Holiday)

11. Saiyaara - 24,41,00,000

12. Chhaava - 24,38,00,000

13. Housefull 4 - 24,07,00,000 (Partial Holiday)

14. Jawan - 23,08,00,000

15. Dangal - 22,39,00,000

16. Sanju - 21,62,00,000

17. Tiger Zinda Hai- 21,60,00,000

18. Krrish 3 - 21,33,00,000 (Partial Holiday)

19. Pathaan - 20,97,00,000

20. Bajrangi Bhaijaan - 20,78,00,000 (Partial Holiday)

DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE smashed all records on its third day as the Eid holiday saw box office carnage everywhere. The film collected an insane 97 crore nett which is 20 crore nett more than anything that has been seen before. The film got going in languages in full in the South also and including them it is a comfortable 100 crore nett plus as the collections from languages should be around 5-6 crore nett. If you include the Hindi version then the film was doing better in Nizam/Andhra than the local big Telugu release, USTAAD BHAGAT SINGH, on Saturday.

The total collections of the film are 284 crore nett including paid previews in its Hindi version and there is still Sunday to come. It was the Eid national holiday on Saturday but Eid plays out over a couple of days and with the second day of Eid coming on Sunday, it will be more box office carnage. It will be no surprise if the film gets a similar collection to Saturday and the way this film is going, even more would be no surprise. There were areas that went into top gear yesterday only and that will continue on Sunday.

When a film works like it can go anywhere and even with these historic collections initially, you can see holds over time which would be unthinkable for a film opening at these levels. The collections are just historic everywhere as Mumbai will cross 100 crore nett today while Delhi/UP is around 60 crore nett. East Punjab stands at around 27 crore nett. These three circuits will be contributing over 200 crore nett by the end of this extended weekend. South India is also historic with Mysore at 25 crore nett and Nizam/Andhra at around 22 crore nett. The wait is now for the weekdays as the rampage will continue.

It would be no surprise that it covers the lifetime business of all original Hindi films in its extended first week except for DHURANDHAR (2025). The story of this film started on 5th December 2025 when someone in the camp had little confidence and there was good amount of feeding and now a few months later the second part of the film going to puts its name among the 15 odd greatest films ever seen in history.

The collections of DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE are as follows.

Paid Previews - 40,00,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 75,00,00,000 apprx

Friday - 72,00,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 97,00,00,000 apprx

-------------------------------------

DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE has smashed all weekend records by a distant mile as it beats PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE by 63 crore nett and JAWAN by 70 crore nett. Before DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE, there were around 20 films which had recorded a 100 crore nett weekend and DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE has become the first film to have a 200 crore nett weekend. Also, its not just 200 crore nett but almost 250 crore nett.

Now DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE stands alone at over 200 crore nett and you have another four films in the 150-200 crore nett range and a further sixteen films with over 100 crore nett making its twenty one films with a 100 crore nett plus weekend.

Actually there is not much to say as the list below pretty much tells how DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE is a class apart at the present time. Even if we allow that PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE had a minimal South release, it would still well be behind DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE as at best the Allu Arjun starrer is 200 crore nett on fair value. The last year or so has been a struggle for initials as only CHHAAVA, BORDER 2 and now DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE make it to the list.

Below are the top weekends of all time for Hindi films.

2. Pushpa 2 - The Rule - 1,81,72,00,000 

3. Jawan - 1,75,14,00,000 

4. Animal - 1,68,59,00,000

5. Pathaan - 1,60,57,00,000

6. KGF - Chapter 2 - 1,40,45,00,000

7. Tiger 3 - 1,38,56,00,000

8. Gadar 2 - 1,32,47,00,000

9. Stree 2 - 1,28,31,00,000

DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE has collected a crazy $16.75 million in overseas with Sunday to come and this is all coming without Gulf. The extended weekend is going to be around $22 million at the very least and if Gulf was there, it was probably heading towards $30 million. The normal three day weekend is going to be around $17 million which will be higher than PATHAAN but that came with a $4 million Gulf contribution. Like for like comparison is $12 million v $17 million.

Just like India, there were records everywhere in Overseas on Saturday as United Kingdom hit £650k which is the highest single day collection ever by a distance and it was the same for US, Canada and Australia. Australia hit $1 million in a single day for the first time and US/Canada saw a crazy $3.5 million figure.

The worldwide figure is 500 crore for the Hindi version till the end of business on Saturday. India has a GROSS of 345 crore while Overseas stands at 155 crore. The traditional three day weekend is around 405 crore plus taking apast the 340 crore of JAWAN. Hence, it will be the first 400 crore weekend worldwide. The 300 crore weekends were achieved by JAWAN, PATHAAN and ANIMAL.

The daily Overseas collections are as follows.

Previews - $1,250,000

Thursday - $4,250,000

Friday - $5,000,000

Saturday - $6,250,000

DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE has emerged the worldwide champion also as it collected a huge 130 crore worldwide on day one which beat the 112 crore of JAWAN and the 103 crore of PATHAAN. DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE collected $4.25 million overseas which was less than the two Shah Rukh Khan starrers but this is without Gulf. If Gulf was there, then overseas would also have been a record by a huge margin.

It is pretty much unthinkable that a film outside a Shah Rukh Khan can do these sort of numbers in Overseas in the main markets but it again shows even in Overseas, its become about the film. Even in UK which is heavily Pakistan/Muslim dominated market, the film set a new record by beating the figures of PATHAAN by a margin and going over the £400k mark.

JAWAN had a release in languages also in India and Overseas but even if you add those, the the number of the SRK film goes to around 121 crore which is still less than DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE. DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE also had a release in languages but it was very limited maybe in a few cinemas; PVR recorded just 250 admits for regional. It is actually today when regional has been released properly and there maybe some decent numbers especially from Telugu.

The worldwide figures for DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE on day one are as follows. This does not include paid previews as after those, the total goes to 195 crore. 

India - 91 crore (75 crore nett)

Overseas - 39 crore ($4.25 million)

-----------------------------------

DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE was extraordinary on the second day after smashing all records on day one as it collected around 72 crore nett which is a minor drop and this is coming after it was a partial holiday on the first day. It means the drop is hardly anything. The trend is just phenomenal as it could easily have dropped more but the audience is just desperate to watch this film.

The film can be called an ALL TIME BLOCKBUSTER already going by this trend but you still always wait for the Monday and after to rubber stamp. The trend is so strong that some circuits are actually a little higher than the first day. The film has a total of around 188 crore nett and this has come in two and a half days with the best two days yet to come.

The next two days will see box office carnage of the sort not seen in recent history. This film at the moment is far bigger than anything we have seen in the recent past and the wait now is actually how well does the film hold over the weekdays. No doubt the film is holding but what will be the level remains to be seen. The film has hit pay dirt and it again shows that ONLY theatres can give you these sort of profits when it goes right. It HAS always been the case and WILL remain the case. The film split into two parts will probably hit a PROFIT going over 1000 crore with all revenue accounted for and this has never been seen or heard of before in the history of Indian cinema.
