Weekend 3 has always been a crucial test at the Hindi box office. By the third weekend, films usually begin to slow down. Footfalls dip. Collections soften. Only genuinely loved films manage to stay strong. And then comes Dhurandhar.
In what can only be described as a historic moment for Hindi cinema, Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, and R Madhavan’s Dhurandhar has rewritten the rules of Weekend 3 business. The film has stormed past every previous record and emerged as the biggest third-weekend grosser of all time.
With a staggering Rs 99.70 crore in its third weekend, Dhurandhar has comfortably overtaken Chhaava, Pushpa 2 (Hindi), and several all-time blockbusters. The film narrowly missed the Rs 100 crore mark, but even then, the record stands tall and untouched.

The third weekend reflects word-of-mouth power. By this stage, promotional hype fades. What remains is audience approval. Big Weekend 3 numbers indicate repeat value. Families returning. Neutral viewers stepping in. Strong regional and national hold. Dhurandhar’s performance clearly signals one thing. This is not just a hit. This is an all-time phenomenon.

Dhurandhar’s third weekend is bigger than many films’ opening weekends. That alone puts its run into perspective. The film almost hit a Rs 100 crore third weekend. Something no Hindi film has ever done before.
With this, Dhurandhar also surged past the Rs 579.20 crore India nett mark. A figure that places it firmly among the biggest Hindi blockbusters ever. The gap between Dhurandhar and the second-placed film on the list is massive. Almost Rs 40 crore. That margin itself tells the story.

What Makes Dhurandhar’s Record Special
Unlike holiday-driven weekends, Dhurandhar’s third weekend came purely on momentum. No major festival boost. No discounted ticket strategy. No added screens rush. Just audience love.
The film’s action scale, emotional beats, and layered performances ensured it stayed relevant even in its third weekend. That is rare. That is historic.
All Time Blockbuster Written All Over
With Rs 579.20 crore India nett, Dhurandhar has firmly stamped itself as an All-Time Blockbuster. Its third weekend alone is bigger than the lifetime business of several hit films. And the run is far from over.
Final Verdict
Weekend 3 box office records are broken once in a generation. Dhurandhar did not just break one. It demolished the ceiling. This is not just a film winning the box office race. This is history being rewritten.
