Hook: Dhurandhar isn't just holding steady — it's steamrolling the Christmas weekend while newcomer Tu Meri Main Tera (TMMT) struggles to match the holiday surge, proving star power and timing still rule the box office. [6] Dhurandhar's Christmas bump and what it means - On Day 21 (the Christmas period) Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar collected significantly more than the new release, recording about Rs 10.78 crore on that day while Tu Meri Main Tera managed roughly Rs 2.29 crore by afternoon on its opening day[6]. - Trade and audience momentum from the festive holiday helped Dhurandhar outperform the rom‑com despite being in its third week, underlining how holiday windows can revive and prolong a big film's run[6]. How to read these numbers (quick context) - A strong hold into week three indicates wide audience appeal and good word‑of‑mouth; Christmas and extended holiday periods traditionally boost family and mass entertainers, which appears to have benefited Dhurandhar here[6]. - By contrast, TMMT's modest morning opening suggests either limited advance buzz, narrower target audience, or competition from the holiday blockbuster already dominating screens[6]. What this could mean for both films going forward - Dhurandhar: If it continues to maintain healthy day‑to‑day collections over the holiday weekend, it may further widen its lead and cement itself as one of the year's highest grossers[6]. - Tu Meri Main Tera: To recover, the film will need strong urban/metropolitan traction, positive reviews, or counterprogramming in non‑holiday windows; otherwise, screen share will likely remain constrained while Dhurandhar runs strong[6]. Engaging the reader - Do you think holiday timing matters more than star cast when it comes to box‑office domination?
