Hindi cinema has witnessed many box office milestones over the decades, but what happened this weekend has rewritten history in bold letters. Second Saturday has always been considered a strong indicator of a film’s long-term potential. It reflects word of mouth, repeat audiences, and genuine ground-level buzz.
Now, that benchmark has been shattered. Not crossed. Shattered.
Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna led Dhurandhar has delivered a Second Saturday that Hindi cinema had never seen before. The kind of number that instantly separates a blockbuster from an all-time phenomenon. For the first time ever, a Hindi film has crossed the Rs 50 crore mark on its second Saturday, and in doing so, it has left behind every giant that came before it.
Let’s take a closer look at the Top 10 Hindi films with the biggest Second Saturday collections of all time, and understand why Dhurandhar now sits firmly at the very top.

What makes this achievement even more extraordinary is the fact that this Second Saturday number is higher than many films’ first Sunday collections. That alone explains the kind of audience pull and explosive momentum the film is enjoying across the country.
