DHURANDHAR CREATES HISTORY AGAIN ON DAY 9 WITH THE BIGGEST SECOND SATURDAY EVER
Dhurandhar has done the unthinkable once again. On Day 9, the film has delivered a second Saturday performance that has rewritten the history of Hindi cinema. What was already an extraordinary run has now turned into a once-in-a-generation phenomenon. Second Saturdays are important because they reveal the real strength of a film beyond hype. Dhurandhar has not just passed this test, it has destroyed every existing benchmark by a wide margin. With a massive 53.70 crore on Day 9, the film has recorded the highest second Saturday collection ever in Hindi cinema.
This is no longer a film competing within its release window. Dhurandhar is now standing shoulder to shoulder with the biggest blockbusters ever made.
BIGGEST SECOND SATURDAY IN HINDI CINEMA HISTORY
To understand the scale of this achievement, look at the films Dhurandhar has overtaken on second Saturday.
- Dhurandhar- 53.70 crore
- Pushpa 2 Hindi- 46.50 crore
- Chhaava- 44.10 crore
- Stree 2- 33.80 crore
- Animal- 32.47 crore
- Gadar 2- 31.07 crore
- Jawan- 30.10 crore
- Saiyaara - 27 crore
- Baahubali 2 Hindi- 26.50 crore
- The Kashmir Files- 24.80 crore
Dhurandhar now sits comfortably at the top of this list. The margin is not small. It is commanding. Crossing Pushpa 2 by more than 7 crore on second Saturday clearly shows how strong and deep the audience demand is.
A SECOND SATURDAY THAT FEELS LIKE AN OPENING DAY
What makes this performance even more remarkable is how the day unfolded. Morning shows opened at strong levels, afternoon shows saw steady growth, and by evening and night, theatres across the country were running at near full capacity.
In many centres, second Saturday numbers were comparable to or even higher than opening weekend levels. This kind of surge on Day 9 is extremely rare and only possible when a film has universal acceptance. The performance was equally strong in metros, Tier 2 cities, and Tier 3 centres. The film is not relying on one region. It is firing everywhere.
CONTENT POWER DRIVES AN EXTRAORDINARY RUN
The reason behind this unreal trend is simple and undeniable. The content has connected deeply with audiences. Word of mouth continues to grow stronger each day, pulling in fresh audiences while repeat viewers keep coming back.
This is not a front loaded film. Dhurandhar is building momentum as it moves forward, something that only true blockbusters manage to do. The emotional connect, scale, performances, and storytelling are clearly resonating across age groups.
Had the film not worked with the audience, the collections would have cooled down after the first weekend. Instead, the numbers are getting bigger.
TOTAL CROSSES 306 CRORE IN JUST NINE DAYS
With the second Friday and second Saturday combined, Dhurandhar has added nearly 90 crore in two days. After Day 9, the total stands at a staggering 306.40 crore in India nett box office.
Reaching this figure in just nine days places the film among the fastest and strongest performers of all time. More importantly, the pace shows no sign of slowing.
SECOND WEEKEND TURNS MASSIVE AND SUNDAY STILL TO COME
After a record-breaking second Saturday, all eyes are now on Sunday. Going by the current trend, Day 10 is expected to be even bigger. Advance bookings and on-ground reports suggest another explosive day ahead. The second weekend is now clearly turning out to be very bigger than the first weekend, a feat achieved by only the rarest blockbusters in cinema history.
THE DHURANDHAR WAVE CONTINUES UNSTOPPED
At this stage, it has become nearly impossible to predict where the lifetime total of Dhurandhar will land. The film is breaking records that were considered untouchable and setting new standards with every passing day. One thing is certain.Dhurandhar is not slowing down. The wave is strong, the acceptance is massive, and the run ahead looks historic. This is box office dominance at its highest level.
