Some films benefit from holidays. Some benefit from word of mouth. And then there are rare films that own the entire season. Dhurandhar firmly belongs to the last category. Even as multiple releases hit the screens and the festive crowd had endless choices, the audience kept returning to theatres for just one film.
Three weeks into its theatrical run, the momentum has not just sustained. It has intensified. The third week, which is usually about damage control for most big films, has turned into a fresh celebration here. The box office story of Dhurandhar has now entered a zone that is no longer about competition. It is about legacy.
Dhurandhar’s Unmatched Hold In Week 3
Led by Ranveer Singh and backed by a powerhouse supporting cast, Dhurandhar has become the undisputed first choice for moviegoers across India. Despite new releases and the holiday clutter, shows remained packed across metros, Tier-2 cities, and even smaller centres.
The most striking factor is consistency. There are no sharp weekday drops. No sudden collapses. The film kept pulling big numbers on working days and exploded again during the Christmas holiday window. This kind of hold, especially in the third week, is extremely rare in Hindi cinema.
Director Aditya Dhar’s storytelling, strong repeat value, and word-of-mouth-driven footfalls have collectively powered the film to a third week that will be remembered for years.

The Bigger Picture: Global Rampage
While the Indian box office numbers are already historic, the worldwide figures push Dhurandhar into an elite global club. The film has crossed the ₹1000 crore worldwide gross mark in just three weeks, a feat achieved by only a handful of films in Indian cinema history.
This clearly underlines the film’s pan-market appeal and its strong overseas performance, which continues to add massive value every single day.
What To Expect Next
Week 4 has already opened strongly, and with the New Year corridor ahead, the collections are expected to remain solid. All indicators suggest that the next big milestone is imminent, and the march forward looks unstoppable. At this stage, Dhurandhar isn’t chasing records. Records are lining up to be broken.
Final Verdict
Week after week, Dhurandhar has proven that when audiences fully back a film, numbers stop obeying conventional trends. The third week was supposed to be a slowdown. Instead, it turned into a celebration. This isn’t just a blockbuster run. This is domination at its purest.
