Dhurandhar, Ranveer Singh’s new spy-thriller, just keeps charging ahead. Sunday brought another wave of packed theaters, and buzz is building everywhere, from shiny multiplexes to the old-school single screens. This movie’s charging toward one of the year’s strongest opening weekends.

Weekend Box Office: The Numbers Tell the Story
Friday kicked things off with a bang, ₹28.60 crore, Ranveer’s biggest opening day ever. On Saturday, the numbers climbed even higher, pulling in about ₹33.10 crore. And if early trade chatter is close, Sunday landed somewhere between ₹40 and ₹42 crore. That puts the first weekend total at nearly ₹103 crore. Not bad at all.

It’s the kind of box office run everyone dreams about. Each day built on the last: Friday set the base, Saturday picked up steam, and Sunday exploded thanks to great word-of-mouth and a rush of fans, both in the cities and out in the heartland.

So, Why’s Everyone Watching Dhurandhar?
A few things are working in Dhurandhar’s favor. It’s not just city crowds showing up. The film’s pulling in audiences from both the big urban multiplexes and the single-screen halls in smaller towns. That crossover rarely happens at this scale. People seem genuinely excited. They love the scale, the action, and Ranveer’s trademark energy. That buzz is filling up shows as the weekend rolls on. With barely any competition, Dhurandhar’s got theaters all to itself. That’s a dream setup for any blockbuster. Reviews might be mixed, but right now, the audience doesn’t seem to care. This movie’s bringing in both the multiplex crowd and the masses. That’s the magic formula for Bollywood blockbusters, and the numbers back it up.

What Happens Next?
If this momentum holds, especially through the workweek, Dhurandhar could become Ranveer Singh’s biggest hit yet. The huge opening, the broad appeal, and even more showtimes rolling out, it all points toward a strong run beyond just the first weekend.

Still, every movie faces the same hurdles after the big opening: Can it keep people coming? Do the crowds thin out on weekdays? What happens when the next big release drops? It all comes down to whether the excitement lasts.

Comparing with Industry Patterns
Lately, the Bollywood films that really crack the box office are the ones that speak to everyone, city folks and small-town fans alike. Dhurandhar fits that mold perfectly. It’s showing that star power and a big, crowd-pleasing story can still pack theaters in today’s mixed-up market. And for Ranveer Singh, this is a new high. He’s topped his own records from hits like Padmaavat and Simmba.

Quick recap:
Day 1 (Friday): ₹28.6 crore
Day 2 (Saturday): ₹33.1 crore
Day 3 (Sunday): ₹40–42 crore (estimated)
Opening Weekend (3-Day Total): ₹102–104 crore, maybe more

Sunday surge shows this is more than just a good opening, this is a film people actually want to see. If it keeps up, we’re looking at one of 2025’s biggest blockbusters. For now, Dhurandhar stands as proof that star-driven, big-screen Bollywood is alive and kicking.
