Hook: Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar is refusing to slow down — on Day 9 the spy-thriller crossed the Rs. 255 crore mark in India, proving holiday audiences are still flocking to theatres for high-octane original Hindi cinema[3]. Dhurandhar's Day 9 performance and why it matters - Box-office milestone: Live reports show Dhurandhar added roughly Rs. 15.78 crore net on its second Saturday (Day 9), taking the film's nine‑day India net to about Rs. 255.53 crore[3]. - Strong audience pull: Day‑9 overall Hindi occupancy was reported at 45.39%, with morning shows opening similarly strong — a sign of sustained weekend demand rather than a front‑loaded rush[3]. - Momentum through word-of-mouth: The film's steady daily additions after a robust opening week (about Rs. 239.75 crore in the first eight days) indicate positive audience reactions and repeat business powering the second weekend[3]. - Industry context: Trade coverage and live trackers are projecting bigger numbers as holidays approach, with some outlets noting the film is on track for substantial second-weekend hauls and potential to climb further across the festive window[4]. What contributed to the box-office resilience - Star power and performance: Ranveer Singh's intense lead and a standout introduction for co‑stars have been repeatedly highlighted in coverage as audience draws and critical talking points[3]. - Genre and timing: A well‑crafted spy/action entertainer released ahead of the holiday stretch benefits from family outings and repeat viewings, boosting occupancy across multiple days[3][4]. - Positive trade reporting: Continuous live updates from box‑office trackers (reported by outlets like Times of India using Sacnilk live data) help keep public and industry attention focused on a film's day‑to‑day progress, sustaining momentum[3].
