Dhurandhar collects 488.44 cr in 16 days; 649 cr in 13 days

Amid ban, Dhurandhar becomes Pakistan's most pirated movie; politicians plays film's songs at parties
Box Office India Trade Network

DHURANDHAR hit a phenomenal second weekend as it picked up 135 crore nett. This is 40% HIGHER than its first weekend and now the film is on an extraordinary run that it is practically certain to be the highest grossing ORIGANAL Hindi film ever. It will also probably the first original Hindi film to reach 600 crore nett though it will be the third Friday which will confirm this.

If the third Friday puts up a huge number, then even the 700 crore nett plus total of PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE (Hindi) will be a possibility. There is huge competition with AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH on Friday and advances are strong. However, the advances are lopsided to the South and it may well be that Hindi circuits still see DHURANDHAR on top. The holds are so strong that even the Christmas films will struggle for an audience as there is a good chance DHURANDHAR could be stronger than them though again its a wait for the third Friday.

The film started on a bad note but such is the scenario now that its looking more organic than most of the other big original Hindi grossers. GADAR 2 and ANIMAL are the clean ones and here with DHURANDHAR, it looks the adds are going to be 1% or maybe even less of the total collections which is nothing compared to the manufacturing of collections which goes on in various ways today.

The film not only set second weekend records but at a chain like MovieMax, it set all time records as it matched the numbers PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE had on its first Sunday. The chain was the first to start playing DHURANDHAR 24x7 on Saturday and Sunday which enabled these figures which were as high as the first weekend of Pushpa 2 for the chain.

The film will be setting many more records over the next few weeks. It stands at 331 crore nett apprx and 400 crore nett will be done by the end of the week and then the race will start to beat the biggies.

The COLLECTIONS of DHURANDHAR till date are as follows.
Week One - 1,96,44,00,000
Friday - 31,00,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 49,00,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 55,00,00,000 apprx
Second Weekend - 1,35,00,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 3,31,44,00,000 apprx
---------------------------------------
DHURANDHAR beat the record of PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE (Hindi) for the second weekend by a considerable margin with collections being 20 crore nett higher than the latter. It became the the third film to hit a century in the second weekend after PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE and CHHAAVA. It was not long ago that a 100 crore nett first weekend was a big target and now you have films getting this far in the second weekend.

DHURANDHAR has collected 135 crore nett in its second weekend and only six films have crossed this mark in the FIRST weekend. These films are PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE, JAWAN, ANIMAL, PATHAAN, KGF - CHAPTER 2 and TIGER 3. DHURANDHAR itself was lower and did not even do 100 crore nett in its first weekend. The first weekend record is 182 crore nett and DHURANDHAR in its second weekend is just 25% less than that.

Despite beating PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE, the business in the second weekend the collections in single screens remains less than the Allu Arjun starrer. But this probably means that DHURANDHAR is likely to record the highest business ever at chains like PVR Inox and Cinepolis even if it does not beat PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE (Hindi) at an all India level. The year has been a struggle but it seems to ending on a good note with DHURANDHAR and to a lesser extent TERE ISHK MEIN as well.

The top second weekends of all time are as follows.
1. Dhurandhar - 1,35,00,00,000 apprx
2. Pushpa 2 - The Rule - 1,14,37,00,000
3. Chhaava - 1,01,62,00,000
4. Stree 2 - 93,17,00,000
5. Gadar 2 - 89,25,00,000
---------------------------------------
DHURANDHAR was extraordinary on its second Monday as it collected 29 crore nett which now takes the film to 360 crore nett plus. The drop from the Friday is a little more than 5% which is just unthinkable when a film is collecting at these levels. Some of the mass circuits are actually better on Monday than Friday.

In fact if we take out the block bookings, then the first day is actually the lowest day this film has seen and it looks like its not going go lower than that from the next seven days at least. If this happens, it will mean that the lowest day is the first day out of the first seventeen days for the film. The second week stands at 165 crore nett and the way the film is going it looks like a phenomenal 240-245 crore nett for the week. No film has ever even got 200 crore nett before in week two.

DHURANDHAR is going to give AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH good competition this week and the Hollywood film will be doing bulk of its business in South as it looks little competition to DHURANDHAR outside the metros like Mumbai and Delhi. The film is now certain to become the FIRST original Hindi film to hit 600 crore nett. The target has to cross the 700 crore nett and beat the record of PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE and it has chances of getting there.

The COLLECTIONS of DHURANDHAR till date are as follows.
Week One - 1,96,44,00,000
Friday - 31,00,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 49,00,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 55,00,00,000 apprx
Monday - 29,00,00,000 apprx
Second Week - 1,64,00,00,000 apprx (4 Days)
TOTAL - 3,60,44,00,000 apprx
---------------------------------------
DHURANDHAR has continued its great run in Overseas as like India, the second week heads for higher numbers than the first week. The film had collected around $8 million in week one and the second weekend was around $5.5 million. Now Monday, which is the eleventh day, will be higher than the first day at around $900k.

This means the second week stands at around $6.4 million and maybe a little higher when final Monday figures come. So, its almost $14.50 million in 11 days and there is likely to be a jump in business on Tuesday which means the two week total could be around $17.50 million. These numbers are all coming without a Gulf which means even on a worst case scenario it would be well past $20 million mark if it had a Gulf release.

The screen space is going dominated by AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH and other Christmas releases especially in the main markets of US/Canada, UK and Australia but DHURANDHAR still has plenty of gas left in the tank going by the Monday number. Even if it gets in the third week by AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH, there will be the holiday period to come where it is sure to rack up the collections. There is a good possibility the film can go to $25 million which would be extraordinary for a film like this which keeps some of the non resident subcontinent crowd away and without Gulf release.
---------------------------------------
DHURANDHAR maintained phenomenal collections on its second Tuesday as it collected 29 crore nett showing the same collections as the day before. Like last week, these collections are coming on the weekday rates and not on discounted rates which makes the hold even more incredible. Though the fact that its established that Tuesday is a discounted day, it would have shifted some of the weekday audience to Tuesday so it can still help collections.

The film now stands at almost 390 crore nett and it will cross the 400 crore nett mark today. The film has already set a second week record as it stands at 193 crore nett which beats the 178 crore nett of PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE and the 170 crore nett of CHHAAVA. The film will also cross 200 crore nett for week two which will be a first and the week could end with an insane 240 crore nett plus.

The film was leading was better in the Mumbai Thane Pune area in the first week as compared to NCR but that seen a change in week two as the NCR is now performing better and catching up. The film is heading for record business across most multiplexes even if it does not reach the PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE (Hindi) lifetime number. The film has easily crossed 100 crore nett in Mumbai and Delhi/UP will also be done by the end of the week.

The COLLECTIONS of DHURANDHAR till date are as follows.
Week One - 1,96,44,00,000
Friday - 31,00,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 49,00,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 55,00,00,000 apprx
Monday - 29,00,00,000 apprx
Tuesday - 29,00,00,000 apprx
Second Week - 1,93,00,00,000 apprx (5 Days)
TOTAL - 3,89,44,00,000 apprx
---------------------------------------
DHURANDHAR had another huge day on its second Wednesday as it collected nearly 25 crore nett. For this film, this is actually the first noticeable drop but its only around 15% down which just shows how the film is trending that even 15% drop becomes noticeable. The film now stands at a huge 414 crore nett in 13 days heading for a close of 435 crore nett plus in two weeks.

The second week now stands at an insane 217 crore nett looking to end at around 240 crore nett which will be more than 50 crore nett higher than the PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE second week record. The third week has never seen a 100 crore nett week and DHURANDHAR looks certain to achieve this feat and the question will be how mush higher than 100 crore nett it will go.

The film is going to easily be the highest original Hindi grosser as it beats STREE 2 and becomes the first original Hindi film to hit 600 crore nett. But the endgame is PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE which is a much tougher task but within reach although a lot depends on the Christmas and New year period to come, how well it sustains there and how the competition affects it.

The COLLECTIONS of DHURANDHAR till date are as follows.

---------------------------------------
DHURANDHAR is heading towards becoming the highest grossing Hindi film worldwide of all time. The title for biggest Hindi film in India may go to the wire but the worldwide title for number looks a bit easier due to the crazy run in overseas. The huge Christmas holiday period to come over the next two weeks should help even though there will be Hollywood releases.

The biggest Hindi worldwide grossers till date are PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE and JAWAN, both at around 1050 crore though they were released in many versions. So, with that, the totals go higher especially of PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE. The way DHURANDHAR is going it looks likely it is almost certain to go over 1050 crore unless AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH and the other Christmas releases really hold it up in circuits like US/Canada, UK and Australia.

It is not only that all this is coming without a Gulf release. If you take that into account the film even becomes bigger. Its difficult to tell what the loss is in due to Gulf not releasing but 50 crore can be given at a minimum and maybe much more.

The race is on for the film to become the biggest Hindi worldwide grosser and it will around the New Year that will tell if it gets there. The film has a total of 650 crore worldwide till date and has to cover another 400 crore. The worldwide collections of the film till date are as follows. 

India - 500 crore (414 crore nett)
Overseas - 149 crore ($16.50 million)
TOTAL - 649 crore 
---------------------------------------
DHURANDHAR recorded a historic second week of 240 crore nett smashing all records by leaps and bounds and it took its overall total to 436 crore nett. The Thursday, which was the 14th day of release, still remains higher than the first day if we take out those first day block bookings which is just phenomenal and never seen before, barring for films which open to very low collections.

The film has AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH for competition but it looks pretty much unaffected and should hit the 500 crore nett mark by the end of the weekend. AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH is the biggest Hollywood film of recent times and here a HINDI film is giving it a run for its money in the third week and this has not happened too often.

The second week has seen it beat the records of PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE (Hindi) by a huge 60 crore nett plus and they are more than double of big blockbuster films like DANGAL and JAWAN. Not only that, there are only 7-8 films which have higher first week numbers which puts this second week into perspective. No doubt the third week is going to see similar records and then it will be about that Christmas week that really put the challenge to PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE (Hindi).

The COLLECTIONS of DHURANDHAR till date are as follows.
Week One - 1,96,44,00,000
Friday - 31,00,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 49,00,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 55,00,00,000 apprx
Monday - 29,00,00,000 apprx
Tuesday - 29,00,00,000 apprx
Wednesday - 24,50,00,000 apprx
Thursday - 22,50,00,000 apprx 
Second Week - 2,40,00,00,000 apprx 
TOTAL - 4,36,44,00,000 apprx
---------------------------------------
DHURANDHAR collected an unimaginable 21 crore nett on its third Friday smashing every record in the book by a margin as it beat the 12.50 crore nett collection of CHHAAVA. This is almost double of CHHAAVA and more than double the likes of BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION and PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE. These are crazy figures and there is never an explanation when this happens.

The film has this momentum and its most likely because of the political angle of the film is reaching everywhere. It is like THE KASHMIR FILES but on steroids. The film breaks the rules as its more episodic than normal blockbuster films and the action and violence goes towards the urban side. But when you have this political angle in the film, it is reaching far above the normal cinema going audience with people who hardly venture to the cinema coming out to see what is in the film.

So when this happens it hardly matters that your film is probably not in the traditional format of blockbusters as the intrigue to watch just takes over. This is what has happened to this film not just in India but across the world. On trending, its making the other big blockbusters of recent times look small and now its just about breaking the PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE record and the odds are in its favour especially with the likely huge growth on Saturday and the holiday period to come.

The COLLECTIONS of DHURANDHAR till date are as follows.
Week One - 1,96,44,00,000 
Friday - 31,00,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 49,00,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 55,00,00,000 apprx

Second Week - 2,40,00,00,000 apprx 
Friday - 21,00,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 4,57,44,00,000 apprx
---------------------------------------
DHURANDHAR continued to smash records with a 30 crore nett plus third Saturday with collections of 31 crore nett. There is nothing much to say as the collections speak for themselves. Its hard enough for a films to get into double digits on the third Saturday and maybe there are around 10 films in this category and here you have DHURANDHAR doing three times that number.

As mentioned before this film is like THE KASHMIR FILES on steroids as that film had a similar movement like this but at a lower lower as it was a smaller film. This is a bigger and more commercial film and so, the reach is bigger. It will be called a propaganda film but that does not really matter when the box office is like this. It has to be noted that both the biggest blockbusters of the year, DHURANDHAR and CHHAAVA, are maybe negative to a certain community. However, if such results are going to come, then there will no doubt be more films like this as the collections tell the demand of the public.

The total now stands at 488 crore nett and the chase is for that 735 crore nett of PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE and its very much on. The film has 250 crore nett to cover from here which looks a huge amount for a film to cover from the third Saturday. But such is the momentum that it should happen. The period is outstanding for business at multiplexes and the bulk of the business of DHURANDHAR is coming from multiplexes. The mass circuits like Rajasthan and CI are outstanding as multiplexes in these parts do record business compensating for the lower single screens. It will the first HINDI film to cross 600 crore nett (genuine) in the next 8-10 days or so.

The COLLECTIONS of DHURANDHAR till date are as follows.
Week One - 1,96,44,00,000

The numbers of DHURANDHAR went up on Tuesday and this was without the discounted ticket rates. This is very rare and the Tuesday is much higher than the first day if we take the real collections of the film into account. There is no doubt now the film can go anywhere from here due to a crazy trend from day one till day five in terms of real collections.

The picture is getting clearer now with this film as it looks a huge block buys on the first day and minimal after that with the film actually working on merit. But those huge buys means you could not see it in the collections. There is no doubt the buys were there which gives a wrong picture. Obviously now it looks the fear was for the opening day which probably lead to panic and things done in a hurry which were so blatant that even a little kid could see.

The film is now on a run and pretty much unstoppable though the wait is for week two because if there is no drastic drop, then only you can be sure sure its actual collections at these high levels and not just numbers. Simply put, the industry has to get of this feeding business out as it puts a stigma on that film no matter how little you may add the industry will think its much much more. The fact remains that post pandemic within the industry only GADAR 2 and ANIMAL, out of the big grossers and original Hindi films, are seen as organic BLOCKBUSTERS and that is what the others have to try and achieve and be totally clean so no doubt can arise.

The NUMBERS of DHURANDHAR till date are as follows.
Friday - 24,00,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 27,00,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 35,50,00,000 apprx
Monday - 20,50,00,000 apprx
Tuesday - 25,00,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 1,32,00,00,000 apprx
---------------------------------------
DHURANDHAR is on a superb run overseas as it shows super strong trend on the weekdays. The film has collected almost $6 million in the first five days and the week will close at around $7.75-8 million. These collections have all come without a Gulf release and if that was there, it would have become the biggest film in Overseas of 2025. There is Christmas and New Year to come. So, it is still a possibility that it becomes the biggest film in Overseas even without Gulf though a lot depends on the second Friday which can be higher than the first Friday.

Although its not the type to score with the traditional Gulf audience, there has been a lot of migration from South India and this audience with have made sure that Gulf put up a strong total as well. The film is excellent in US/Canada and Australia while United Kingdom is also very good considering the religious and political zone of the film.

The best comparison is FIGHTER which did around $8.25 million in the first week also without Gulf and here DHURANDHAR may fall a little short. However, the lifetime numbers of FIGHTER now look easy and it will go far ahead.

The daily collections of DHURANDHAR overseas are as follows.
Friday - $800,000
Saturday - $1,300,000
Sunday - $1,500,000
Monday - $1,000,000
Tuesday - $1,250,000
TOTAL - $5,850,000
---------------------------------------
DHURANDHAR is holding up extremely well on the weekdays with the film looking to get the second highest first week of the year. The film now basically can go anywhere and its about where it lands in the second Friday.

The film had started slowly across all the mass circuits and it is slowly gaining ground and there is still huge potential here. The film is practically certain to go ahead of SAIYAARA and now its just about where it stands in the second week. It could even challenge the biggest records and in week two they will be genuine as the film has taken off. The film is actually doing better on all weekdays so far than the first day though the figures show up differently.

The numbers of DHURANDHAR till date are as follows.
Friday - 24,00,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 27,00,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 35,50,00,000 apprx
Monday - 20,50,00,000 apprx
Tuesday - 25,00,00,000 apprx
Wednesday - 25,00,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 1,57,00,00,000 apprx
---------------------------------------
DHURANDHAR collected superbly well in the first week especially in the weekdays with fantastic holds. The weekdays saw collections which are actually higher than the first day and this scenario is had held till Thursday. The collections from Tue - Thu were all in the same range at around 25 crore nett

There will be fireworks in the second week and it will start from the second Friday itself. The all time records will start to fall from the second Friday onward as its likely the film will get some growth on its second Friday from the already super strong collection of Thursday.

The numbers of DHURANDHAR till date are as follows.
Friday - 24,00,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 27,00,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 35,50,00,000 apprx
Monday - 20,50,00,000 apprx
Tuesday - 25,00,00,000 apprx
Wednesday - 25,00,00,000 apprx
Thursday - 25,00,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 1,82,00,00,000 apprx
---------------------------------------
DHURANDHAR is set to create history in its second week as it heads for the highest second Friday of all time which should lead to the highest second week of all time as well. This includes beating all the original Hindi films and also PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE (Hindi) on the second Friday. The film is looking to be on its second Friday as compared to the Thursday and that Thursday itself is higher than any second Friday.

That's not all. The film will also have a chance to become the first film in history to have a second week of 200 crore nett. There are a few obstacles in front of this including the Saturday growth and Monday hold but the chance is there. The film is now all over national television due to its political content and has basically become THE KASHMIR FILES on steroids.

After the initial issues, the film is now on such a run that it should reach the 500 crore nett mark and could even become the highest grossing ORIGINAL Hindi film of all time. Such is the momentum at present. The record is presently held by STREE 2 at 575 crore nett and although that it looks far away at the moment, it has a chance in a matter of the next 7-10 days if this momentum holds.

The biggest film in Hindi of all time is PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE at a little over 700 crore nett which is probably hard to chase down due to DHURANDHAR struggling for an initial. But there is a second part of the film coming in a few months time to attempt to chase down that huge record.
---------------------------------------
DHURANDHAR set a record on its second Friday with the highest collections of 30 crore nett approx which smashed the previous record of PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE by a distance. Not only is the record there but these is a healthy 20% jump from the previous day which is rarity especially for a film doing business at these levels.

After the initial issues, the collections are now all organic and the film is on a run to challenge all the biggest original Hindi films and remains to be seen where it ends. The biggest is PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE but that maybe a step too far but you never know with Christmas holidays to come. The hype has gone to another level with whatever the political issues are in the film being discussed on national television which takes the film to a wider audience. Mumbai circuit remains best but mass circuits are doing much better now as compared to the opening.

This Friday means that huge record of a 200 crore nett second week is on and going by advances, the Saturday number has the potential of going to an insane 50 crore nett which will consolidate the Friday number.

The numbers of DHURANDHAR till date are as follows.
Friday - 24,00,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 27,00,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 35,50,00,000 apprx
Monday - 20,50,00,000 apprx
Tuesday - 25,00,00,000 apprx
Wednesday - 25,00,00,000 apprx
Thursday - 25,00,00,000 apprx
Week One - 1,82,00,00,000 apprx
Friday - 30,00,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 2,12,00,00,000 apprx
---------------------------------------
DHURANDHAR recorded the highest second Friday of all time and that to by a margin as it collected around 30 crore nett. The previous record was held by PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE at around 24.50 crore nett. This means DHURANDHAR is not only the first film to hit 30 crore nett but also the first film to cross 25 crore nett on its second Friday.

The highest second Friday for an original Hindi film is CHHAAVA which picked up around 23 crore nett. So, DHURANDHAR is ahead by 7 crore nett and above that film which is a pretty crazy margin especially for a second Friday. This year has been pretty dull in terms of huge numbers but these figures of DHURANDHAR are showing where we are today with ticket prices at an all time high.

The momentum is such that the records will continue as it becomes the first film to record a 50 crore nett day in the second week. It could come on Saturday and if not, then Sunday is sure to do. All second week records will be smashed and even though AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH is there, it could also smash all third week records.

The advances of AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH are good but its mainly down South meaning in Hindi circuits it could be DHURANDHAR leading next week also.

Below are the top twenty second Fridays of all time.

The figures of DHURANDHAR have been updated and the film stands at around 276 crore nett after nine days and is on course for an easy 500 crore nett total. It maybe even becomes the first original film in Hindi to hit 600 crore nett. The film is smashing all records in the second week and its likely this trend will continue into the third week even with the release of AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH.

The collections are updated mainly due to what happened with the film initially with the buys and although it was known on Sunday that the film had worked and the figures need adjustment, you just wait for the dust to settle and when it all becomes crystal clear what has happened.

The film did have a huge feed but it was mainly on the first day and it was very blatant done as probably, the did in a hurry as they probably got very worried about that opening day. It looked like a SKY FORCE or BHOOL CHUK MAAF type of feeding was happening which was not the case as the film itself started to the do the job and the makers stayed out after the first day though at that time its hard to believe due to the crazy stuff on the first day.

The film started on a bad note but such is the scenario now that its looking more organic than most of the other big original Hindi grossers. GADAR 2 and ANIMAL are the clean ones and here with DHURANDHAR, it looks the adds are going to be 1% or maybe even less of the total collections which is nothing compared to the manufacturing of collections which goes on in various ways today.

The film has worked in a big way but the question within is always what is the merited collection and with DHURANDHAR it looks 99% of it will be merited and its pretty much organic. Obviously there are still these fake media benchmarks to reach for the film be it 600, 700 and even the funniest of them all an 800 crore one. So, there could be some manufacturing for these but that does not change the scenario much.

The second week is like a first week for the film and DHURANDHAR is going to be competition releases coming in its way in the next few weeks rather than the other way around.
