# Avatar: Fire and Ash Ignites Indian Box Office – Surpassing ₹50 Crore Mark Amid Fierce Competition! **James Cameron's epic threequel, Avatar: Fire and Ash, has roared into Indian theaters**, racking up massive collections on Day 2 and nearing or crossing the ₹50 crore milestone in just two days, despite clashing with Bollywood powerhouse *Dhurandhar* starring Ranveer Singh.[1][2]
Released on December 19, 2025, *Avatar: Fire and Ash* captivated audiences with its breathtaking visuals and the introduction of the fiery Ash People, dedicating the film to late producer Jon Landau.[5] Day 1 saw it claim the **biggest Hollywood opening of 2025 in India** at around ₹18-22 crore (nett figures varying slightly across trackers: ₹20.05 crore per Sacnilk, ₹18 crore nett, or ₹22 crore gross).[2][3][4][5] The momentum surged on Saturday (Day 2), adding ₹20-22.50 crore, pushing two-day totals to **₹38-44 crore nett**, with some reports signaling a surpass of ₹50 crore gross amid premium 3D formats.[1][4] This marks the **4th biggest Hollywood post-COVID Day 1 opener** in India, outpacing *Deadpool & Wolverine* (₹20 crore) and topping 2025 rivals like *The Conjuring: Last Rites* (₹17.33 crore) and *Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning* (₹16.5 crore).[3][5] Yet, it's a step down from *Avatar: The Way of Water*'s ₹41-48 crore Day 1 in 2022, reflecting global trends and mixed reviews – though South India (especially Tamil Nadu) showed strong holds.[2] The real drama? **Clash of titans with Aditya Dhar's *Dhurandhar***. Ranveer's actioner dominated Hindi circuits, outperforming *Avatar 3* on both days and limiting its screens, especially in mass belts.[1][6] Still, holidays ahead promise growth, potentially making it a top Hollywood earner despite the ₹350 million (₹3135 crore) budget.[4] Fans are raving about the visuals and Pandora's expanded lore – have you caught it yet?
