Dhurandhar continues to dominate the box office and shows no signs of slowing down. Directed by Aditya Dhar, the spy thriller has had a massive second week, taking its worldwide collection past Rs 500 crore, with around Rs 450 crore coming from India alone. With strong momentum still going, the film is now aiming for the rare Rs 1,000 crore global mark.
Starring Ranveer Singh along with Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, R. Madhavan, Sara Arjun, Rakesh Bedi, Saumya Tandon and Gaurav Gera, Dhurandhar has become a big theatre success.
Dhurandhar box office collection so far
According to trade tracker Sacnilk, Dhurandhar collected Rs 22.5 crore on December 19 (Day 15), taking its total net earnings in India to Rs 483 crore. Released on December 5, the film has maintained a strong and steady run, earning Rs 20 crore or more almost every day, with peak collections going as high as Rs 58 crore. While the film made Rs 207.25 crore in its first week, it performed even better in the second week with Rs 253.25 crore.
Clash with Avatar: Fire And Ash
The biggest competition comes from James Cameron’s Avatar: Fire And Ash, releasing this Friday. With its large scale and visual appeal, Avatar 3 is expected to draw big crowds and take up premium screens, which could slightly affect Dhurandhar’s screen share.
In comparison, Avatar: Fire And Ash, the latest film from one of Hollywood’s biggest franchises, released on December 19 and earned Rs 20 crore across all languages. This puts it Rs 2.5 crore behind Dhurandhar, which is expected to remain strong and continue challenging Avatar 3 at the box office in the coming days.
