Ranveer Singh’s latest film Dhurandhar has recorded an impressive first Monday at the Indian box office. It shows exceptional weekday stability after a powerful opening weekend.
The film is estimated to earn around ₹21 crore nett on its first Monday in India. This number reflects a remarkable hold, with collections dropping only about 15% compared to its opening day. The drop is around 45% from Sunday, indicating strong audience demand and positive word of mouth.
With a solid weekend momentum, such stability was expected — but actually achieving it highlights the film’s strong theatrical pull. After four days, Dhurandhar’s total domestic box office collection stands at approximately ₹111 crore nett.
With no special discount ticket day on Tuesday, trade experts expect steady performance. Some footfall could still benefit from previously encouraged low-price ticket habits. At this pace, the film’s first-week total is projected to cross ₹160 crore nett. This is considered an excellent result based on current trends.
Buzz Around Box Office Figures
While the headline numbers look strong, some industry observers remain cautious about the authenticity of the reported collections. There are ongoing discussions in trade circles about possible inflated box office reporting. However, the exact scale — if any — remains unverified.
Given the film’s growing momentum, it is believed that any artificial boosting may have been reduced compared to the opening weekend. The film now appears capable of pulling audiences on its own. However, there is no official confirmation regarding this.
Strong Overseas Performance Boosts Confidence
The film’s makers displayed notable confidence in Dhurandhar, investing heavily in both production and marketing. Their strategy of keeping key plot elements confidential allowed moviegoers to experience the story fresh in theatres. This worked in the film’s favor.
Despite some mixed industry chatter, the overseas box office trend has been extremely positive. Strong appreciation is visible across international markets. Trade analysts believe the theatrical response in India is likely similar, even if exact collection figures remain a subject of debate.
