‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge’ Storms Box Office with Rs 296.27 Crore in Three Days

Aditya Dhar’s ‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge’ is continuing its dream run at the box office, with the spy thriller registering a massive jump on Day 3.

According to industry data-tracking portal Sacnilk, the film collected Rs 113 crore nett in India on Saturday alone, taking its three-day domestic total, excluding paid previews, to Rs 296.27 crore nett.

Actor Anupam Kher has strongly praised the film, calling it a project that will make "every Indian proud" and describing Dhar as a "rockstar" in an emotional and detailed reaction shared on Instagram.

Kher posted a video expressing admiration for the film, its performances and overall impact, stating that he felt compelled to speak immediately after watching it in a packed theatre.

He highlighted the audience’s engagement and emotional response.

"I feel that after working for so many years, I should approach things with a bit more patience," Kher said in the video, adding, "I've reached an age where if you truly like something, then your age or experience shouldn't come in the way of appreciating it. That's the beauty of it."

Calling the film an example of powerful storytelling, Kher emphasised that great art lies in its ability to connect emotionally.

He revealed that the screening he attended was houseful, noting that audiences across age groups were "totally engrossed."

Addressing criticism surrounding the film, he dismissed certain opinions and asserted that the narrative reflects modern India without compromising intent.

"This film talks about modern India, and yes, it uses drama, but there's no falsehood in its system or intention," he said, adding that it portrays the work and strength of Indian intelligence agencies such as IB and RAW.

How is ‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge’ performing overseas?

The film’s performance overseas has also remained strong, with 'Dhurandhar: The Revenge' crossing the Rs 500 crore mark worldwide.

Its overseas gross stands at an estimated Rs 96.50 crore, pushing the global total to approximately Rs 501.04 crore.

The film is witnessing exceptional traction in North America, including the United States and Canada, where it has secured one of the widest releases for an Indian film, playing across 4,405 shows.

Reports indicate that even before spot bookings, over two lakh tickets had been sold for Day 3, generating around Rs 23.70 crore in advance sales.

Trade estimates suggest the film is on track to record one of the highest single-day collections for an Indian film in the North American market.
