Some films open big. Some films grow over the weekend. But only a handful manage to rewrite the rules of weekday performance. Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, R Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, Rakesh Bedi, Sara Arjun, and Saumya Tandon starrer Dhurandhar belongs to that rare, elite category. What the film has achieved in its first week is nothing short of sensational. Right from the opening Friday to the seventh day, the film has surprised the trade, shocked analysts, and thrilled audiences across the country. Despite carrying an A certificate and no festival or holiday cushion whatsoever, the film has delivered a Week 1 run that can comfortably be called historic.
The most unbelievable part? Its sixth and seventh day collections weren’t just strong — they were higher than its opening day. That kind of trajectory is almost unheard of in recent years. The audience has gone all-in, and the box office is reflecting that madness in full glory.
A Weekday Hold That Redefined ‘Strong’
What happened between Monday and Thursday is the biggest proof of how deeply Dhurandhar has connected. Most films witness the usual weekday drop. But here, the opposite happened. Monday held surprisingly well. Tuesday surged. Wednesday jumped again. And Thursday delivered a bigger number than Friday. This is the kind of hold that box office enthusiasts see maybe once in a decade. The rave word of mouth, the intensity of the performances, and Aditya Dhar’s gripping storytelling have combined to create a wave that refuses to slow down.

Metros continued to roar throughout the week, but the Tier-2 and Tier-3 centres became the real surprise package. These regions, which sometimes soften after the weekend, went into absolute riot mode. Families, youth groups, and repeat audiences kept returning. For many, this film wasn’t just a watch — it was an experience they wanted to relive.

Why Week 1 Is Being Called “Historic”
The film has crossed Rs 200 crore within its first week, something only a handful of Hindi films have achieved. And remember — there was no festival holiday, no national holiday, no pricing discount, and the film carries an A certificate. These factors usually hold films back. But Dhurandhar has defied every box office logic. The audience has embraced it completely. Social media reactions, theatre videos, live audience responses, and fan edits show that this film has become an emotion.
The weekday collections show massive repeat value. The Tier-2 and Tier-3 explosion shows deep-rooted mass appeal. And the multiplex performance shows solid urban acceptance. When all three segments fire together, the film becomes unstoppable.
Weekend 2 Will Be A Storm
With no big new release arriving, Dhurandhar is heading into its second weekend with enormous momentum. All early trends point towards another ₹100 crore weekend. If that happens, the film will comfortably enter the ₹300 crore club by Sunday. Very few films in the last decade have had this kind of hold.
Final Thoughts
Week 1 of Dhurandhar has been nothing less than a box office tsunami. The film is no longer just a hit — it has turned into a cultural moment powered purely by audience love. With Rs 218 crore already in the bag and a monstrous weekend ahead, this run is going to be remembered for years. The wave isn’t slowing. The wave is only rising.
