Dhurandhar has completed 42 days at the box office. Its box office performance has been nothing short of extraordinary. The film has delivered massive numbers consistently, firmly placing itself among the biggest blockbusters in Indian cinema history.

The film started its theatrical journey with a strong opening-day collection of 28 crore. Momentum picked up quickly over the first weekend.

On Day 2, Aditya Dhar's movie earned 32 crore, followed by a massive jump to 43 crore on Day 3. This took the opening weekend total to nearly 103 crore, setting the tone for a historic run.

Box office collections dipped on Day 4 due to the usual weekday slowdown. Still, the film remained stable through the rest of the week.

Strong audience interest helped it close Week 1 with an impressive total of 207.25 crore. What followed, however, exceeded all expectations.

Week 2 turned out to be even bigger than the first. Akshaye Khanna's film saw a sharp rise again over the weekend. Day 9 collected 53 crore while Day 10 peaked at 58 crore. By the end of its second week, Dhurandhar had added a staggering 253.25 crore.

Week 3 contributed 172 crore, and Week 4 added 106.5 crore. Then, Week 5 brought in another 51.25 crore, showing excellent long-term sustainability.

Day 41 saw an increase again with 3 crore, and Day 42 matched that figure with another 3 crore. It was an exceptional number for the sixth Thursday. So far, the film has recorded an India Net total of 816.6 crore.

By Day 41, the India Gross stood at 976.35 crore while overseas collections reached 293 crore. This took the worldwide total to 1,269.3 crore, according to Sacnilk. However, trade estimates suggest that, by Day 42, Dhurandhar comfortably crossed the 1,300 crore mark globally.

Dhurandhar has set a new benchmark for Day 42. Earning 3 crore on its 42nd day, the film stands far ahead of its peers. Such late-stage earnings indicate repeat audiences, sustained footfalls and strong word of mouth across mass centres.
