Hook: Dhurandhar isn't just winning opening-weekend bragging rights — it's steamrolling past expectations and racing toward the ₹400 crore mark in India, powered by runaway word-of-mouth and star-packed appeal[5]. Dhurandhar's second weekend did something few films manage: it smashed weekend records and posted a staggering ₹135 crore nett in that second frame, bringing the movie's India total to around ₹385.81 crore by day 12 — proof that this Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna and R. Madhavan starrer has genuine staying power[5]. Why that matters: big second-weekend numbers indicate strong repeat viewership and sustained mass appeal, not just front-loaded hype; Dhurandhar's performance suggests it's become a cultural moment, not merely a box-office event[5]. What the numbers reveal - Second-weekend surge: Dhurandhar's ₹135 crore nett in its second weekend is extraordinary and made it the highest second-weekend grosser, surpassing even Pushpa 2 in that metric[5]. - Total by day 12: The film reached roughly ₹385.81 crore in India by its 12th day, putting the ₹400 crore milestone well within reach if the weekday hold continues[5]. - Factors behind the run: star power (Ranveer Singh's box-office pull), positive audience reaction, and record-breaking weekend holds combined to produce an uncommon "legs" effect that trade analysts spotlighted in live box-office tracking[5]. How this shapes the industry conversation - Box-office expectations are shifting: Dhurandhar's atypically large second weekend challenges the usual pattern of steep weekday drops after a big opening, showing that content and audience sentiment can heavily blunt typical declines[5]. - Awards and franchise potential: films that demonstrate sustained box-office dominance often become candidate properties for wider franchise-building, international sales, and awards-season attention — all possibilities for Dhurandhar if momentum holds[5]. Engage with the buzz - Seen the film? Share whether you felt the second-weekend boom was deserved. - Not yet seen it?
