Not only has Aditya Dhar’s directorial had a good opening, but it has exceeded all of its expectations.
Dhurandhar Box Office Collection Day 1:
According to the website Sacnilk, Dhurandhar had an impressive opening day and exceeded all expectations. The movie has earned Rs 27 crore on Day 1, which is truly spectacular. Earlier, it was reported that the movie would only earn around Rs 18-20 crore, but it proved everyone wrong. It is expected that Dhurandhar will continue this momentum over its first weekend.
The movie has surpassed the earnings of Saiyaara, which opened to Rs 21.50 crore. Other films in this list are Housefull 5, Kantara Chapter 1, Raid 2, Sky Force, Jolly LLB 3 and Sitaare Zameen Par.
However, the movie was not able to beat War 2, Chhaava and Sikandar as these films set the benchmark too high.
Meanwhile, Dhurandhar is confirmed to return with a sequel. It will hit the theatres on March 19, 2026, coinciding with Eid 2026. The movie will also clash with Kannada star Yash’s next film, ‘Toxic’. It will be one of the biggest box office clashes of 2026.
Earlier, the movie made it to headlines regarding its plot as it was rumoured that the movie is based on Major Mohit Sharma. However, director Aditya Dhar has dismissed these rumours and issued an official clarification.
He wrote on X, “Hi, sir – our film Dhurandhar is not based on the life of braveheart Major Mohit Sharma AC(P) SM. This is an official clarification. I assure you, if we do make a biopic on Mohit sir in the future, we will do it with full consent and in complete consultation with the family, and in a way that truly honors his sacrifice for the nation and the legacy it has left for all of us.”
Dhurandhar also stars Arjun Rampal, R Madhavan, Sara Arjun, Akshaye Khanna and Sanjay Dutt in the lead roles.
