Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar has roared through its opening weekend with a formidable Rs. 106.50 crore, cementing its place as the actor’s second-highest opening weekend grosser of all time. The numbers mark a resounding comeback for the star, reaffirming his standing as one of the industry’s most dependable box office forces.
What makes the achievement even more significant is the context. Ranveer’s all-time topper Padmaavat had benefited from a four-day opening weekend, accumulating Rs. 114 crore during its extended launch period. In contrast, Dhurandhar has come strikingly close to that figure in just three days, signalling a far more aggressive and front-loaded audience turnout.
The weekend haul easily outpaces several of Ranveer’s previous major hits. Simmba, once a defining commercial milestone in his career, had opened to Rs. 75.11 crore over its debut weekend a number Dhurandhar surpasses by a comfortable margin. The growth curve becomes even more pronounced when compared with Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela (Rs. 52.75 crore), the film that first established Ranveer as a box office draw, as well as 83 (Rs. 47 crore) and Bajirao Mastani (Rs. 46.77 crore), both bolstered by strong reviews but more modest early footfalls.
Trade watchers attribute Dhurandhar’s success to a combination of star power, high-octane action, and robust word-of-mouth, particularly in mass belts where the film gained extraordinary traction by Sunday. The upward trend across all key circuits reflects renewed audience appetite for theatrical spectacle and signals that Ranveer’s fanbase remains both wide and deeply invested.
By delivering a weekend just shy of his all-time best and doing so without the advantage of an extended holiday frame Ranveer Singh has demonstrated once again that his box office potency is not only intact but entering a new phase of resurgence. With a powerful opening behind it, Dhurandhar now heads into the weekdays with strong momentum and the promise of an impressive long run.
