Dhurandhar Box Office Collection Day 16 Update: Ranveer Singh's film is expected to dominate box office this festive season.Dhurandhar Box Office Collection Day 16: Despite a major release like James Cameron’s Avatar Fire and Ash on Friday, Dhurandhar continues its strong run at the Indian box office. The film posted a record third Saturday, earning approximately Rs 33.5 crore and taking its total India net collection to Rs 516.5 crore. Before Dhurandhar, the highest third Saturday box office collection was held by Chhaava (Rs 22 crore) with Pushpa 2 (Rs 20 crore) close behind.

It did so in a record 16 days, only behind Pushpa 2 which managed the feat in 11 days. Among Hindi, it is the fastest ever to do so, ahead of Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan (18 days).
Internationally, Dhurandhar emerged among top 5 films worldwide over the second weekend, as per Comscore. Its international gross is $18 million, taking its worldwide gross to over Rs 750 crore by Friday. The film is likely to enter the Rs 800 crore mark today.

In his YouTube video, Dhruv Rathee talked about the comment made by actor Hrithik Roshan, who acknowledged the strong storytelling in Dhurandhar but expressed disagreement with its political stance. "Hrithik Roshan said that even if he does not agree with the film’s politics, and even if one can debate the responsibility of filmmakers, the storytelling was very good, and as a student of cinema, he learned a lot. Essentially, he means that even if it is propaganda, the film is well made. But I would say, no matter how well made a film is, in the end, it is still propaganda," shared Dhruv Rathee.
Trade tracker Sacnilk reported that on its third Saturday, Ranveer Singh’s film Dhurandhar collected Rs 33.5 crore at the Indian box office, marking a sharp 48.89% jump over its Friday earnings.

He added, "Now the question is, what is fact and what is fiction? The audience cannot tell. And viewers who are immersed in the film do not even question it. This is why it becomes gospel truth for them.”
Kangana Ranaut took to Instagram to share her thoughts and wrote, "I watched #dhurandhar and had a great time. Totally inspired by the art and craft of this masterpiece but honest huge admiration for the intent of the filmmaker. Dear Aaditya Dhar ji border pe hamare defence forces, sarkar mein hamare Modi ji aur Bollywood cinema mein aap, khoob kambal kutayi karo in pakistani terrorists ki, maza aa gaya (On our border, it is our defence forces, in the government, it's Prime Minister Modi and in our cinema, it's you. Beat up those Pakistani terrorists. Had so much fun), whistled and clapped all the way!! Superb work by everyone lekin Dhurandhar of this show is the filmmaker himself @adityadharfilms. Congratulations Yami Gautam."
X user @sandipsabharwal remarked, "On Social Media #dhurandhar has become like showing your inked finger after voting in an election. If you haven’t watched it, you seem to have missed a civic duty."
Trade Analyst Taran Adarsh posted on X, "'DHURANDHAR' ALBUM: A MASSIVE SUCCESS... The entire #dhurandhar album has hit the bull's-eye, setting a rare benchmark in today's music ecosystem. Every single track from #dhurandhar is charting across platforms – a rare feat... History rewritten."

YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia posted on Instagram stories, "Loved the film, feel like every Indian should watch it. Ugly geopolitical realities SHOULD be highlighted in this manner. Insane level of craft by everyone, helmed by @adityadharfilms! Akshaye Khanna, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, Gaurav Gera, R. Madhavan, Rakesh Bedi. All phenomenal! But above all, give @ranveersingh his flowers. The king’s prime is only just beginning. Absolute art."
Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar opened with a strong Week 1 collection of Rs 207.25 crore and went on to post an even bigger Week 2 haul of Rs 253.25 crore.
User @BeingTeJan tweeted, "It’s great to see #dhurandhar and #avatarfireandash performing well at the Indian box office. A win-win for cinema lovers like me, getting the best theatrical offerings from the world’s two biggest film industries. And the re-release of #sholay is the icing on the cake."
In a YouTube video, veteran actor Mukesh Khanna said, "Perfect film, commercial film and one that will hit the masses. Every department did their best, whether it was acting, directing, action, direction or writing. Everyone has given their best, so that you can call the film Dhurandhar in every way. You all know that the one actor who is being praised for his performance is Akshaye Khanna. He stars in very few films. He used to be a hero some time back. Some films worked while others didn’t, but he left his mark in each of them. In this film, he didn’t just leave his mark, he ate all the competition. There are very few films where the villain is praised more than the hero."
Mukesh went to praise Ranveer Singh. who he criticised previously for his casting in the Shaktimaan reboot. “Yes, I would like to praise this film’s hero, ‘Dhurandhar’, Ranveer Singh. You will say, ‘You didn’t let him play Shaktimaan’. I may have denied him the role of Shaktimaan, but he is a good actor. I always say this. He has great energy in this film, and his eyes are brooding because this man has come from India and has been planted in Pakistan. How he enters this world and becomes a gang member. The role of Dhurandhar that he was given had to see him grow little by little. I’m sure in the sequel, they will highlight his entire story.”
User @sandipanthedeb shared on X, "The use of remixes of old Hindi film hit songs in #dhurandhar is fascinating. Monica O My Darling is used in a bike-car chase sequence. Ramba Ho blares over a brutally violent scene. The songs were chosen solely for their tunes and beats to pump up both endorphins and adrenaline. The lyrics are irrelevant. But the audience's familiarity with the songs adds another level of engagement. Then they mixed the songs with rap, heavy metal guitar etc, so you get a bigger "high"—the shock of both recognition and dissonance. #dhurandharreview."
Veteran film exhibitor Raj Bansal noted on X, "Acknowledge merit where it is due.. Two directors @RGVzoomin @imvangasandeep who have voiced appreciation for @AdityaDharFilms's work in #dhurandhar belong to South Indian Film Industry. No appreciation coming from #bollywood?"
The worldwide box office collection of Ranveer Singh's film Dhurandhar currently stands at Rs 780 crore. The Aditya Dhar directorial is expected to cross the Rs 800 crore mark today.
Dhurandhar has emerged as the second fastest Indian film to enter the Rs 500 crore club, trailing only Pushpa 2.0, which crossed the milestone in 11 days. Among Hindi releases, Jawan, starring Shah Rukh Khan in the lead role, previously held the record, reaching the Rs 500 crore mark in 18 days.
