Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal and Sara Arjun-starrer ‘Dhurandhar’ shows no signs of slowing down. Even in the cold weather, the film has firmly cemented its position at the box office and is not allowing any other release to come close. Its earnings are rising steadily every day, raising expectations that it could enter the ₹1,000 crore club by this weekend. On its 17th day, the film continued its dominant run, while James Cameron’s ‘Avatar 3’ witnessed empty theatres for many of its shows.
Made on a budget of ₹280 crore, Dhurandhar crossed the ₹500 crore mark by its third Saturday itself. On Day 16, the film earned ₹34 crore, which was 52.22% higher than its Day 15 collection. With this, its India net collection reached ₹517.25 crore, while the worldwide total stood at ₹790.75 crore. In comparison, Avatar 3 managed only ₹22 crore on its second day (first Saturday).
