Hook: Dhurandhar's second Friday smashed expectations — the Ranveer Singh–Akshaye Khanna action-drama not only crossed the Rs. 30 crore mark on Day 8 but has powered its way toward an eye-popping Rs. 250 crore-plus run, turning its second weekend into a box-office event[4]. Context and key details - Day 8 performance: Dhurandhar crossed the Rs. 30 crore mark on its eighth day, making the film's second Friday one of the biggest second-Friday hauls in recent Hindi film history[4]. - Momentum into the second weekend: Trade reports say the Day 8 surge has the film heading into a very strong second weekend and has taken the film's cumulative tally toward roughly the Rs. 250 crore domestic mark after eight days[4][3]. - Industry reaction and records: Observers and box-office trackers called the second-Friday numbers historic, with some outlets noting the film set a new benchmark for second-Friday collections and positioning Dhurandhar among the top grossers of 2025 so far[5][2]. - Broader box-office context: Industry estimates and trackers placed Dhurandhar in the company of 2025's biggest hits, with projections putting it above several contemporary releases and on course for continuing strong returns through the holiday period[3][2]. Why this matters - A blockbuster second Friday signals strong word-of-mouth and repeat viewership, not just front-loaded opening-day interest[5]. - For distributors and exhibitors, such sustained weekday strength suggests higher long-tail revenue (more weeks of high occupancy), boosting profitability beyond initial weekend forecasts[3]. Engaging angle for readers - If you've seen the film: What scene made you want to rewatch it — Ranveer's big action set-piece, Akshaye Khanna's performance, or the ensemble moments? - If you haven't: Would a film with this kind of box-office momentum make you book tickets this weekend, or do you wait for reviews/streaming?
