Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar, starring Ranveer Singh, is doing extremely well at the box office. The film grossed more on its third Saturday than Friday, further strengthening its hold over the weekend. With this, the film has crossed the Rs 500 crore mark in India.
How much did the film earn in its third week?
Dhurandhar earned Rs 483 crore net in the first 15 days. After a record-breaking second week, the third week also had a strong start. The film earned Rs 22.50 crore net on Friday, while the situation improved further on Saturday. 32% occupancy in morning shows was double the 16% occupancy on Friday.

The film is now closing in on blockbusters like Gadar 2 (Rs 525 crore), Pathan (Rs 543 crore), and Animal (Rs 553 crore).
