Second Mondays are meant to slow films down. By this point, the initial rush settles, weekdays take over, and collections usually find a predictable rhythm. But Dhurandhar is not interested in following templates. It is tearing them apart, one day at a time.
After an earth-shattering second weekend, all eyes were on how the film would behave once Monday arrived again. The expectations were high. The benchmarks were already ridiculous. Yet, instead of showing fatigue, Dhurandhar delivered another statement day that stunned trade observers and exhibitors alike. This is no longer a discussion about holding well. This is about rewriting the very definition of weekday dominance.
A Second Monday That Defies Logic
What happened on the second Monday is something rarely seen in Hindi cinema. Even with a normal drop from Sunday, Dhurandhar managed to post numbers that were higher than its opening day. That alone places the film in an elite, almost mythical category.

Multiplex chains reported strong occupancies throughout the day, with evening and night shows once again driving the business. Mass belts, which usually soften on Mondays, continued to roar. In several circuits, collections remained stronger than the first Monday and were comfortably ahead of most films’ opening Fridays. This kind of trend is not accidental. It happens only when audience trust is absolute, and repeat value is sky-high.
Why Dhurandhar Is Unstoppable
The reasons are now well established. Ranveer Singh’s powerhouse performance has turned into a phenomenon. Akshaye Khanna’s restraint and intensity balance the narrative. Sanjay Dutt brings gravitas. Arjun Rampal adds menace. R. Madhavan elevates every scene he’s in. Together, they form a cast that audiences are eager to revisit.
Aditya Dhar’s storytelling deserves special mention. Despite the film’s length, viewers remain fully invested. The narrative pull, emotional weight, and technical finesse have ensured that fatigue never sets in. Instead of slowing down, the film keeps finding new gears.
This is also where word of mouth becomes decisive. Dhurandhar is now being sold by the audience itself. People are walking into theatres because someone they trust has already watched it and insisted they must.

Now comes the defining data point that underlines the scale of this run. On Day 11, the second Monday, Dhurandhar collected ₹31.80 crore, a figure that is higher than its Day 1 opening. With this, the film’s total India nett collection has surged to ₹396.40 crore. At this stage, the ₹500 crore milestone is not a question of “if”, but “when”. And that “when” is now imminent. This kind of second-week weekday performance places Dhurandhar in a league of its own.
| Day | Collection (Rs) |
|---|---|
| Day 1 (Fri) | 28.60 crore |
| Day 2 (Sat) | 33.10 crore |
| Day 3 (Sun) | 44.80 crore |
| Day 4 (Mon) | 24.30 crore |
| Day 5 (Tue) | 28.60 crore |
| Day 6 (Wed) | 29.20 crore |
| Day 7 (Thu) | 29.40 crore |
| Week 1 Total | 218.00 crore |
| Day 8 (Fri) | 34.70 crore |
| Day 9 (Sat) | 53.70 crore |
| Day 10 (Sun) | 58.20 crore |
| Day 11 (Mon) | 31.80 crore |
| Total | 396.40 crore |
What This Means Going Forward
With weekdays behaving like extended weekends, Dhurandhar has now entered a phase where its lifetime total looks limitless. The ₹400 crore mark is expected to be crossed imminently, and the road ahead appears wide open. There is no major release disrupting its run. Screens remain packed. Audience demand remains fierce. Trade confidence is sky-high. At this point, Dhurandhar isn’t chasing records. Records are chasing it.
Final Verdict
A second Monday is higher than the opening day. Near Rs 400 crore total in just 11 days. Rock-solid weekday hold. Massive repeat value. Dhurandhar has crossed from blockbuster territory into something much bigger. This isn’t momentum anymore. This is a victory procession. And Dhurandhar is leading it from the front.
