Some films slow down after two weeks. Some settle. Some fade away. Dhurandhar does none of that. Even after entering its third week, the film continues to command theatres across the country with authority. Footfalls remain strong. Occupancies are steady. And the audience response shows zero fatigue.
What makes this run truly remarkable is the timing. A festive period is underway. New releases are lining up. Big global titles are in play. Yet, this film refuses to loosen its grip. The box office isn’t just responding. It is surrendering. Dhurandhar is now the highest-grossing Bollywood film of all time, crossing Stree 2 and Jawan. It is also the second-highest-grossing film in Hindi, only behind Pushpa 2.
Dhurandhar’s Third Week Momentum Explained
Headlined by Ranveer Singh, alongside Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, and R Madhavan, Dhurandhar has entered an elite zone that very few films ever reach.
Three weeks in, the collections are holding firm on working days. That alone speaks volumes. The film isn’t riding discounts. It isn’t benefiting from holiday spikes alone. It is pulling numbers purely on audience demand and repeat viewership.
Directed by Aditya Dhar, the film’s appeal cuts across metros, Tier-2, and Tier-3 centres. Multiplexes are packed. Single screens are delivering strong business. This kind of balance is rare and extremely difficult to sustain this late in a run.

On its twentieth day, the film once again delivered a strong performance at the Indian box office, proving that its third-week momentum is not a fluke but a continuation of a historic trend.
The updated numbers further strengthen the belief that this run is far from peaking. With Christmas week and the New Year corridor just beginning, the road ahead looks explosive.

Why Dhurandhar’s Run Is Truly Unprecedented
Crossing massive milestones in the third week is not normal. Beating previous industry benchmarks without slowing down is even rarer. Yet, Dhurandhar has now positioned itself as the highest-grossing Bollywood film ever, while also becoming the second-highest Hindi grosser of all time, trailing only Pushpa 2.
What sets this film apart is consistency. There are no sharp drops. No alarming declines. No weekend-only spikes. Each day contributes meaningfully. This is the sign of a film that audiences are emotionally invested in.
What Lies Ahead
With the festive season fully unlocked, the upcoming days are expected to drive even stronger numbers. The fourth weekend is crucial, and current trends indicate that the next major milestone is well within reach. At this stage, the discussion is no longer about “if.” It is about when the next historic barrier will fall.
Final Verdict
Dhurandhar is no longer competing with films. It is competing with history. Records are being rewritten. Benchmarks are collapsing. And the box office continues to bow. This is not momentum. This is domination.
