Exclusive: Ranveer Singh–Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar Breaks All Weekday Logic on Day 19; 82,892 Tickets Sold by 10:20 PM Across National Chains, ₹20 Cr Nett Day Firmly in Sight ⭐⭐⭐

Dhurandhar continues to stretch the boundaries of what is considered possible at the Indian box office. As the film enters Day 19  the third Tuesday of its theatrical run  advance booking numbers have not just held but risen sharply, delivering yet another result that defies every established weekday trend.

As per the latest national chain data (PVR INOX + Cinepolis), Dhurandhar has sold approximately 82,892 tickets in advance by 10:20 PM for Day 19 alone. Remarkably, this figure is higher than Day 18 (third Monday), an occurrence that is almost unheard of this deep into a theatrical run. For context, most films witness a clear tapering after the third weekend  Dhurandhar is accelerating instead.

For a third Tuesday to post such numbers places the film in an elite and extremely rare bracket. These are not survival figures or marginal holds  they are strong weekday numbers typically associated with early second-week runs of major blockbusters.

⭐ Dhurandhar – Advance Booking Trend (National Chains Till Day 19)

What stands out most is the reverse weekday trend. Advance sales have remained consistent throughout the day, with evening and night shows showing stronger-than-expected pick-ups, particularly in premium formats. Urban centres continue to anchor demand, while Tier-2 markets and mass belts are holding with surprising firmness.

Traditionally, third Tuesdays are expected to show noticeable cooling after Monday. Dhurandhar, however, has flipped that script completely. The rise from Day 18 to Day 19 points to exceptionally strong word-of-mouth, repeat viewership, and sustained walk-in potential, which is expected to further lift final collections.

From a trade perspective, the current trajectory once again puts a ₹20 crore nett day firmly within reach, a figure that borders on unbelievable for a film running into its third week on a regular weekday. Such numbers are almost never seen outside holiday periods  yet Dhurandhar is threatening to normalise them.

The absence of sharp circuit-wise drops reinforces the idea that the film has transitioned into a long-duration theatrical force, no longer dependent on release buzz alone. Occupancies remain well distributed across key markets, indicating genuine audience pull rather than isolated spikes.

With Ranveer Singh’s sustained audience connect and Aditya Dhar’s gripping narrative continuing to resonate strongly, Dhurandhar has entered a phase where conventional box office benchmarks have lost relevance.

The question is no longer about how well it is holding.

The question now is: how long can this extraordinary defiance continue?

At the moment, Dhurandhar shows absolutely no signs of slowing down.
