DHURANDHAR CREATES HISTORY ON SECOND FRIDAY DAY 8 AND REWRITES THE RECORD BOOKS
Dhurandhar has delivered a historic second Friday performance and there is no other way to put it. On Day 8, the film has shattered all existing second Friday records by a massive margin, announcing itself as one of the most powerful box office runs ever witnessed.
Second Fridays are usually a test of hold and sustainability. Dhurandhar has turned that test into domination. With a stunning 34.70 crore on Day 8, the film has gone far beyond expectations and set a new benchmark that will be extremely difficult to challenge.
SECOND FRIDAY RECORDS BROKEN BY A HUGE MARGIN
To understand the scale of this achievement, one only needs to look at the biggest second Friday performers so far.
- Pushpa 2 Hindi collected 27.50 crore
- Chhaava collected 24.03 crore
- Animal collected 23.53 crore
- Gadar 2 collected 20.50 crore
- Baahubali 2 Hindi collected 19.75 crore
Dhurandhar has comfortably crossed all these films on second Friday and that too by a wide margin. The gap between Dhurandhar and the previous best is not marginal, it is decisive. This clearly reflects the extraordinary demand the film is enjoying across the country.
A SECOND FRIDAY THAT DEFIES NORMAL BOX OFFICE LOGIC
What makes this performance even more remarkable is the timing. Dhurandhar had already closed its first week at a massive 218 crore. Films at this stage usually see a drop. Dhurandhar has done the opposite and surged forward.
Morning shows opened at strong levels, afternoon shows showed clear growth, and evening and night shows ran close to weekend occupancy in many centres. This kind of trend on Day 8 is extremely rare.
The performance is not limited to metros. Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities have shown outstanding response, proving that the film has broken out of urban limits and connected deeply with the mass audience as well.
CONTENT AND WORD OF MOUTH ARE DRIVING THE RUN
The biggest reason behind this unbelievable trend is the content. Dhurandhar is running purely on audience approval. The word of mouth has been spreading stronger with each passing day.
Repeat audiences are coming back, families are joining in large numbers, and neutral viewers are actively recommending the film. This is exactly why the film did not slow down after the first weekend and instead exploded again on the second Friday.
Had the content not connected, such numbers on Day 8 would have been impossible.
TOTAL CROSSES 252 CRORE IN JUST EIGHT DAYS
With the second Friday collection of 34.70 crore, Dhurandhar now stands at a phenomenal total of 252.70 crore in India nett box office in just eight days. This figure places the film among the fastest to reach this milestone and confirms its blockbuster status beyond doubt.
More importantly, the trend is still rising, not stabilising.
SECOND WEEKEND SET TO BE BIGGER THAN THE FIRST
After such a monstrous second Friday, the second weekend is now expected to be massive. Advance bookings for Saturday and Sunday are extremely strong across multiple circuits, in some cases even higher than the first weekend.
With no major competition and unstoppable audience demand, the second weekend could comfortably match or even surpass the opening weekend. This kind of trajectory is seen only in rare, all-time blockbusters.
THE DHURANDHAR WAVE IS FAR FROM OVER
At this stage, predicting the lifetime business of Dhurandhar has become nearly impossible. The film is breaking norms, rewriting trends, and setting new standards with each passing day. One thing is absolutely clear. The Dhurandhar wave is not stopping anytime soon. This is not just a successful run. This is box office history in the making.
