Dhurandhar continues to underline its extraordinary box office run as it entered its third Friday with a solid Rs. 23.70 crore, a figure that comfortably places it among the strongest late-week performances in recent memory. While the film did witness a decline compared to its second Friday, the overall Friday-to-Friday trajectory reflects a run powered by momentum, not front-loaded hype.
The film opened to an impressive Rs. 28.60 crore on its first Friday, setting a strong foundation for its theatrical journey. What followed was an even bigger surprise. On its second Friday, Dhurandhar surged to Rs. 34.70 crore, marking a sharp growth of over 21 percent compared to its opening Friday. Such an increase in the second week is rare and typically reserved for films that enjoy exceptional word of mouth and repeat audiences.
On its third Friday, collections settled at Rs. 23.70 crore, reflecting a drop of around 32 percent from the second Friday. However, in box office terms, this decline is far from alarming. In fact, when compared to the first Friday, the third Friday business shows only a 17 percent drop, an indicator of remarkable stability at a stage when most films struggle to stay in double digits.
Trade experts point out that the second Friday spike created an unusually high benchmark, making the third Friday correction inevitable. Despite this, Dhurandhar continues to outperform industry norms, with its third Friday collections surpassing what many big-budget films manage in their opening weekends.
With strong audience retention and consistent footfalls across key markets, Dhurandhar’s Friday trend tells the story of a film that has transitioned from explosive growth to sustained dominance. As it moves deeper into its theatrical run, the numbers reaffirm that Dhurandhar is not just a blockbuster—it is a film with rare staying power at the box office.
