What's the story
The film Dhurandhar, directed by Aditya Dhar and starring Ranveer Singh and Akshaye Khanna, has seen a significant surge in its box office collection. On Christmas Day (Day 21), the film raked in an impressive ₹26 crore net in India alone (total ₹633.5cr). This jump comes after a dip on Wednesday when it earned ₹18 crore. The movie is now eyeing the massive ₹700 crore club domestically and is also expected to cross the worldwide mark of ₹1,000 crore soon.
Record-breaking success
'Dhurandhar' outperforms Dhar's debut film and other films of actors
On Wednesday, Dhurandhar had earned ₹935cr worldwide (per Hindustan Times). It has not only surpassed the lifetime collection of Dhar's directorial debut Uri: The Surgical Strike but has also emerged as the highest grosser for Singh, Sanjay Dutt, and Arjun Rampal by a significant margin. Despite facing tough competition from new releases like Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri and James Cameron's Avatar: Fire And Ash, Dhurandhar has managed to maintain its strong performance at the box office.
