Dhurandhar box office collection worldwide day 46: Ranveer Singh’s film sees 63% decline, eyes Rs 900 cr club amid countdown to Border 2 release

Prior to that, Dhurandhar had earned Rs 26.35 crore in its sixth week at the domestic box office, an almost 50% drop from its week 5 collection of Rs 51.25 crore. That was also almost a 50% fall from its week 4 earnings of Rs 106.50 crore.

Dhurandhar eyes Rs 900 cr club

As per Jio Studios, Dhurandhar has earned Rs 878.75 crore after 46 days at the box office in India. While it’s started to show a downward trend now, the makers have announced another ticket price offer for Tuesday, its 47th day at the domestic box office. The tickets have been priced at a reduced fare of Rs 149, only for a day.

This may help Dhurandhar redeem a few more crores this week as it competes with Vir Das and Kavi Shastri’s action comedy Happy Patel: Khatarnaak Jasoos. The latter, backed by Aamir Khan Productions, however earned only Rs 40 lakh on its first Monday, Rs 1 crore less than what the Ranveer Singh-starrer made on the same day.

The major roadblock for Dhurandhar’s path to the unprecedented Rs 900 crore club would present itself in the form of Border 2 this Friday 0n January 23. A sequel to JP Dutta’s 1997 cult period war drama Border, it also marks the return of Sunny Deol to the franchise, in addition to new cast members like Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty.

Directed by Anurag Singh of Kesari-fame, Border 2’s USP is also the same as Dhurandhar — war-crying patriotism. Add to that, it also has the added advantage of an extended weekend, with its first Monday being a holiday on account of Republic Day. Dhurandhar is already the highest grossing Indian film ever at the domestic box office, but its days seem limited now.

At the worldwide box office, Dhurandhar has a long way to go as the fourth highest grossing Indian film ever. Standing at Rs 1329.40 crore so far, it’s still over Rs 400 crore shy of beating Sukumar and Allu Arjun’s 2024 Telugu action thriller Pushpa 2: The Rule (Rs 1742.10 crore). The top two spots are held by SS Rajamouli and Prabhas’ 2017 Telugu action fantasy epic Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (Rs 1788.06 crore) and Nitesh Tiwari and Aamir Khan’s 2016 Bollywood family sports drama Dangal (Rs 2070.30 crore).
