Daily Box Office Collection Records in India: Dhurandhar takes its first of many on Third Saturday

With Rs. 38.50 crore approx GROSS, Dhurandhar took its first daily collection record in India for “Biggest 3rd Saturday”, overtaking Baahubali: The Conclusion. 

This is not just the first one for Dhurandhar but also the first for Bollywood this early in the run, as almost all of the records until now are held by pan-India films like Baahubali 2, Pushpa 2 and KGF 2, which collected well across multiple languages. The next one for Bollywood comes in the fourth week, from Chaava, which was made possible by the release of the Telugu version in that week.

Below is the list of daily collection record holders. The first couple of weeks are records on the initial strength of those films, with Pushpa 2 getting some of them, and then it’s Baahubali’s domination. In later weeks, some holidays may prop up a film, and there we have KGF 2 getting a record due to the Eid holiday and Pushpa 2 getting from the Christmas & New Year’s Day holiday. Finally, in the end, it’s Kantara, which expanded to other languages later in the run.

Dhurandhar right now has just one day to its name, but three weeks from now, the bottom half of this list will probably be all Dhurandhar.
