Dhurandhar has once again defied conventional box office behaviour by delivering a massive Rs. 12.60 crore on its fourth Tuesday, a figure that is not only historic in absolute terms but also remarkable for what it represents in the film’s long theatrical run. In a rarity for Hindi cinema, the fourth Tuesday collections have come in higher than the fourth Monday, underlining the film’s extraordinary hold and deep-rooted audience pull even well into its fourth week.
From a trade perspective, this is an anomaly that instantly separates Dhurandhar from every other blockbuster in recent memory. The film had collected Rs. 11.20 crore on its fourth Monday, and the jump to Rs. 12.60 crore on Tuesday reflects an increase of approximately 12.5%, at a stage where most films are battling to stay above single digits. Such upward movement during the fourth week is virtually unheard of and signals sustained footfalls rather than residual momentum.
When placed against the all-time list of fourth Tuesday performers, the scale of Dhurandhar’s dominance becomes even clearer. Its Rs. 12.60 crore haul is over three times higher than Pushpa 2 – The Rule and Chhaava, both of which stand at Rs. 4.02 crore. Compared to Stree 2’s Rs. 3.20 crore, Dhurandhar has delivered nearly four times the business, while against major long runners like Baahubali 2 and HanuMan (around Rs. 2.80 crore), the film is performing at 4.5 times the level. Even culturally significant hits such as Uri and Kantara are left far behind, with Dhurandhar posting collections that are close to five times higher.
What makes this achievement particularly significant is the context in which it has arrived. By the fourth Tuesday, most Hindi films see footfalls collapse due to weekday fatigue, newer releases, and audience migration to OTT platforms. Dhurandhar, however, has reversed that trend entirely, converting weekdays into near-weekend-level business through repeat audiences and sustained word-of-mouth.
Trade analysts see this as a sign of the film transitioning from a blockbuster into a box office movement, where audience engagement is no longer driven by urgency alone but by long-term theatrical appeal. The fact that Dhurandhar is outperforming not just recent releases but every film in Hindi cinema history on a fourth Tuesday places it in a league of its own.
With collections still rising midweek and records continuing to fall deep into its run, Dhurandhar is no longer just setting benchmarks—it is redefining how long a Hindi film can dominate the box office without slowing down.
