Mumbai, Maharashtra (UNA) : Dhurandhar, featuring Ranveer Singh in the lead role, continued its strong theatrical run on day 26, with cumulative box office revenue nearing the ₹1,100 crore milestone. The film’s sustained performance underscores robust audience demand during the holiday season, contributing to its position among the year’s top earners in the Indian film market. Overall movement in the Hindi film box office this year has been characterised by heightened competition among big-budget releases, with multiple titles crossing significant revenue thresholds. Dhurandhar has been tracking close to longstanding benchmarks set by recent major successes, reflecting both domestic ticket sales and overseas market contributions. The film’s strong collections are attributed to a combination of factors, including wide release footprint, repeat audience turnout and positive word-of-mouth, particularly in metropolitan and emerging urban centres. Week-to-week holdovers have remained comparatively resilient against new releases, helping Dhurandhar maintain its commercial momentum late into its theatrical cycle. In specific markets, multiplexes reported steady occupancy rates for evening and weekend shows, while smaller screens sustained decent footfall, signalling broad-based appeal. Exhibitors noted that ancillary revenue streams such as premium formats and extended run shows have further supported the title’s box office tally. Market observers said Dhurandhar’s performance highlights the ongoing vitality of theatrical entertainment, despite the growing influence of digital streaming. Analysts emphasised that strong blockbuster runs provide a foundation for investor confidence in film production economics and can influence financing, distribution strategies and release calendars going into the new year.
