By the time a film enters its third weekend, the conversation usually shifts to sustainability and gradual decline. Screens reduce. Competition intensifies. Audience urgency fades. Dhurandhar has done the exact opposite.
Instead of slowing down, the film has detonated. The third weekend wasn’t about survival. It was about domination. The kind that leaves the trade stunned and forces a complete reassessment of what is even possible at the box office.
Weekend 3 That Changed The Game Forever
Third weekends are traditionally modest affairs, often registering a fraction of opening-weekend numbers. Dhurandhar obliterated that rulebook.
The film emerged as the biggest Weekend 3 grosser of all time, a feat that no Hindi film had even come close to earlier. The scale of the performance wasn’t incremental. It was seismic. Records that belonged to industry giants were not just broken, they were left far behind.
What makes this run even more remarkable is the competitive landscape. A major Hollywood tentpole was in theatres, yet Dhurandhar dominated screens, conversations, and footfalls. That is not a coincidence. That is cultural ownership.

Why Audiences Are Still Showing Up In Massive Numbers
At the heart of this historic run lies unwavering audience faith. Ranveer Singh’s performance has evolved into an event in itself. Akshaye Khanna’s controlled intensity continues to win applause. Sanjay Dutt and Arjun Rampal bring gravitas and power. R. Madhavan adds emotional grounding.
Aditya Dhar’s direction ensures that the film remains gripping even on repeat viewings. Despite its scale and runtime, the narrative feels immersive rather than exhausting. This has turned repeat audiences into the film’s strongest pillar, especially during the third weekend.
Noise has faded. Negativity has collapsed. Content has won decisively.

The film’s dominance is not limited to domestic markets. Worldwide, Dhurandhar has delivered extraordinary results, pushing its global gross close to the ₹900 crore mark.
India continues to be the powerhouse, while overseas markets are showing consistent strength, further cementing the film’s blockbuster credentials on a global scale.
What Lies Ahead
With Christmas around the corner, Dhurandhar is perfectly placed to breach the ₹600 crore milestone imminently. The film will soon emerge as the highest-grossing Hindi film of 2025, overtaking every major competitor. At this point, the gap between Dhurandhar and the rest of the field is not competitive. It is commanding.
Final Verdict
A near-₹100 crore third weekend. Records crushed. Giants dwarfed. Dhurandhar has officially entered the rarest club of Indian cinema. This is not a run. This is a phenomenon. A once-in-a-generation box office storm.
