By the time a film reaches its second Tuesday, the conversation usually shifts to stability, slowdown, or long-term sustainability. But Dhurandhar continues to operate in a completely different universe. Instead of cooling off, the film has turned every passing day into a fresh headline, leaving the trade scrambling for new superlatives.
After rewriting records through its opening week and an explosive second weekend, expectations were already stretched to the limit. Yet, what unfolded on Day 12 went far beyond even the most optimistic projections. This is no longer a case of momentum holding up. This is sustained dominance, built on audience obsession and unprecedented repeat value.
Second Tuesday That Redefined Weekday Power
Second Tuesdays are meant to be routine working days. No discounted tickets. No holiday push. No external advantage. And yet, Dhurandhar delivered numbers that most films can only dream of on their opening weekends.
What makes this performance truly staggering is the context. The film is A-certified. It’s deep into its second week. There were no Blockbuster Tuesday offers to inflate footfalls. Still, audiences showed up in massive numbers across multiplexes and mass circuits alike.
Even more astonishing, the second Tuesday business comfortably outperformed the film’s opening day. That single data point says everything about the volume, pull, and sheer grip this film has on viewers.

Why Dhurandhar Just Refuses To Slow Down
At the heart of this run is audience trust. Ranveer Singh’s performance has turned into a cultural talking point. Akshaye Khanna’s controlled intensity continues to earn praise. Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, and R. Madhavan add layers of gravitas that elevate the experience beyond a standard mass entertainer.
Aditya Dhar’s direction deserves immense credit. Despite the film’s length, the narrative never feels indulgent. The emotional beats land. The scale feels earned. And most importantly, viewers feel rewarded, which is why repeat watches have become a defining feature of this run.
This is the phase where films usually rely on inertia. Dhurandhar, instead, is relying on obsession.

Weekend 3 projections remain extraordinarily strong, with trade estimates suggesting numbers that could rival the opening weekends of major global releases in India. At this point, the film isn’t slowing down. It’s accelerating.
Final Verdict
A second Tuesday bigger than opening day. ₹400+ crore in just 12 days. No discounts. No holiday support. Dhurandhar has officially entered the box office history books. This is not just success. This is history being written in real time. It has Blockbuster written all over.
