Dhurandhar continues its historic box office run by adding yet another all-time record to its name. The film has now emerged as the highest second Thursday grosser of all time, collecting a massive Rs. 25.30 crore on the day. The achievement further cements the film’s extraordinary staying power, especially at a stage when most releases typically see a sharp midweek decline.
The scale of Dhurandhar’s dominance becomes immediately apparent when compared with the previous benchmarks. Aamir Khan’s PK, which had long held the record with Rs. 14.05 crore on its second Thursday, now trails by a staggering margin. Dhurandhar has outperformed PK by nearly 80 percent, a gap that underscores how dramatically the film has reset expectations for weekday business.
Even recent blockbusters fall well short in comparison. Pushpa 2: The Rule collected Rs. 14 crore on its second Thursday, while Chhaava followed at Rs. 13.60 crore. Against these figures, Dhurandhar has delivered collections that are roughly 80–81 percent higher, highlighting its exceptional hold across mass and urban circuits alike. Epic spectacles such as Baahubali 2: The Conclusion and Dangal, which had posted Rs. 12.75 crore and Rs. 9.12 crore respectively, now appear distant, with Dhurandhar outperforming them by nearly 98 percent and 177 percent.
The gap widens further when placed alongside modern-era successes like Stree 2, Animal, Gadar 2, and Jawan, all of which had recorded second Thursday figures under Rs. 10 crore. In comparison, Dhurandhar has more than doubled the performance of these titles, underlining the film’s rare ability to sustain blockbuster-level footfalls deep into its second week.
Trade analysts view this record-breaking second Thursday as yet another indicator that Dhurandhar is not a front-loaded success but a true word-of-mouth-driven phenomenon. With each passing day, the film continues to push the envelope, and its latest all-time second Thursday milestone further strengthens its position as one of the most dominant box office performers Indian cinema has seen in recent years.
