Dhurandhar: The Revenge, starring Ranveer Singh, has achieved a remarkable feat in Bollywood, becoming the first film to surpass the Rs. 1000 crore mark at the Indian box office. This achievement is all the more impressive considering the film's open run for almost a month and the competition it faced from Bhooth Bangla. The film's strong performance, despite a 50% drop in collections from the third week, solidifies its status as an all-time blockbuster. The cumulative box office collection after four weeks stands at a staggering Rs. 944.75 crore, with the South-dubbed versions adding another Rs. 55.50 crore. This brings the total to over Rs. 1000 crore, making it the third Indian film to reach this elite mark, following Baahubali: The Conclusion and Pushpa: The Rule. These films, being sequels to well-received predecessors, showcase the power of franchise films in Bollywood. The film's success is further highlighted by its footfalls, which, while not reaching the highest levels, are still impressive at around 3.75 crore. The extraordinary pricing of the film has played a significant role in its commercial success, despite the drop in footfalls. The box office collections for Dhurandhar: The Revenge in India are detailed, showing a steady performance over the first four weeks, with a notable drop in the fourth week due to competition from Bhooth Bangla. The film's ability to maintain a strong hold at the box office, even with a 50% drop, is a testament to its popularity and the appeal of its storytelling. As the film continues its run, it is expected to reach a total of around Rs. 980 crore, which, from a practical standpoint, is still a significant achievement. Dhurandhar: The Revenge's success in the Indian market is a significant milestone, marking a new era for Bollywood and further solidifying the potential of franchise films in the industry.
