Dhurandhar Box Office Collection Day 8: The Aditya Dhar directorial is currently sitting at the cusp of box office victory. The film will soon take over the lifetime collection of Dhar’s first film, URI, starring Vicky Kaushal and Yami Gautam. It will also become Ranveer Singh’s second-highest-grossing film, net collection considered, as it is right at the toes of Rohit Shetty’s Simmba. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, Dhurandhar’s India net collection has grown to Rs 239 crore.
Right from its advance bookings, Dhurandhar looked strong coming into its theatrical run. Even though it has been at the centre of controversy, before and after release, the film has found its footing at theatres across the country. The Rs 239 crore collection means that Shetty’s Simmba is next, which earned Rs 240 crore net in the country. Simmba was Ranveer Singh’s entry into Shetty’s Cop Universe, as he later collaborated with Akshay Kumar in Sooryavanshi.
Then came the ensemble film Singham Again, and the stellar cast included Ajay Devgn, Akshay, Ranveer, Kareena Kapoor, Deepika Padukone and Tiger Shroff. This cast, along with Shetty’s over-the-top action sequences, helped the movie earn Rs 247 crore in the country. That means that even Singham Again is within reaching distance for Dhurandhar, a distance the film will travel through the weekend. The next film in Ranveer’s scope has to be Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Padmaavat, which also starred Deepika and Shahid Kapoor. The film’s India net collection was Rs 302 crore.
The film has already become the career high for most of the cast members, at least when it comes to box office collections. Akshaye Khanna is the only one apart from Ranveer who still sits far away from Dhurandhar’s collection. Laxman Utekar’s Chhaava is still Khanna’s highest-grossing film, with an India net collection of Rs 601 crore. Soon movies like Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Kabir Singh (Rs 278 cr), Vijay Krishna Acharya’s Dhoom 3 (Rs 271 cr) and Maneesh Sharma’s Tiger 3 (Rs 276 cr) will see their domestic collections being surpassed.
Directed by Aditya Dhar, the cast of Dhurandhar includes Ranveer Singh, Arjun Rampal, Sara Arjun, Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, and R Madhavan.
