Reaching the fifteenth day is usually where even the biggest films begin to slow down. New releases arrive. Screens get divided. Audience attention shifts. But Dhurandhar continues to operate on a completely different wavelength.
Even with fresh competition entering the market, the film has refused to loosen its grip. Viewers are still prioritising Dhurandhar as their first theatrical choice. The buzz hasn’t faded. The footfalls haven’t dipped drastically. And most importantly, the box office story has only grown louder with each passing day.
Third Friday That Redefined Staying Power
Third Fridays are rarely headline-grabbing. By this point, most films settle into modest numbers. Dhurandhar, however, turned its third Friday into yet another record-breaking moment.
Despite the arrival of a major new release, the film posted the biggest third Friday collection ever, a statistic that perfectly captures the sheer volume of its theatrical pull. This isn’t just about holding well. This is about continuing to dominate in a crowded marketplace.
The audience response remains rock solid across metros, Tier-2, and Tier-3 centres. Multiplexes continue to report healthy occupancies, while mass belts are showing resilience that is unheard of this deep into a theatrical run.

Why Dhurandhar Is Still The First Choice
The film’s longevity comes down to one crucial factor: audience trust. Ranveer Singh’s performance has become iconic. Akshaye Khanna’s restraint adds depth. Sanjay Dutt and Arjun Rampal bring raw intensity. R. Madhavan elevates the emotional stakes.
Aditya Dhar’s direction ensures that the experience feels immersive every single time. Despite its length, the narrative never feels exhausting. Instead, it invites repeat viewings. That repeat value is now the engine driving Dhurandhar’s historic run.
This is no longer curiosity-driven footfall. This is loyalty-driven cinema.
Dhurandhar Day 15 Box Office Collection
Now comes the moment that officially places Dhurandhar among the elite of Indian cinema. On Day 15, the film collected ₹23.70 crore, taking its total India nett collection to a monumental ₹503.20 crore. With this, Dhurandhar has entered the ₹500 crore club, a milestone achieved by only a handful of films in Hindi cinema history.
What makes this achievement even more remarkable is the timing. The film crossed this landmark on a third Friday, despite fresh competition and without any festive boost.
