Dhurandhar has delivered yet another jaw-dropping box office moment, rewriting the record books with a sensational Rs. 40.30 crore haul on its third Sunday. The Ranveer Singh starrer has now emerged as the highest third Sunday grosser of all time, a feat that further underscores the film’s unprecedented hold and its extraordinary appeal deep into its theatrical run.
What makes this achievement truly remarkable is the sheer distance between Dhurandhar and the films that previously dominated this late-stage box office window. The next closest competitor, Pushpa 2: The Rule, had collected Rs. 27 crore, placing Dhurandhar ahead by over Rs. 13 crore. Even highly successful titles like Chhaava (Rs. 24.30 crore) and Stree 2 (Rs. 22.10 crore) now appear far behind, highlighting just how decisively Dhurandhar has raised the bar.
Traditionally, third Sundays tend to witness a noticeable slowdown as audience footfalls begin to taper. Dhurandhar, however, has defied this long-held trend. Its third Sunday collections are nearly 50 percent higher than Pushpa 2 and close to double that of films such as Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (Rs. 17.75 crore) and Gadar 2 (Rs. 16.10 crore), both of which were considered benchmarks for sustained theatrical runs.
Trade analysts attribute this record-breaking performance to the film’s rare combination of mass appeal and repeat value. Family audiences, younger viewers, and fans of large-scale entertainers have continued to flock to theatres, ensuring packed houses even in the third weekend. The consistency of such numbers at this stage is a clear indicator that Dhurandhar has transitioned from a blockbuster into a cultural box office phenomenon.
With one record after another falling in its wake, Dhurandhar’s third Sunday performance stands as yet another testament to its historic run—one that is redefining what sustained success looks like in the modern box office era.
