Breaking Records Left and Right

What’s Next: The Road to ₹800 Crore?
Industry analysts predict Dhurandhar will achieve several unprecedented milestones in the coming weeks:
Week 4 Projection: With New Year approaching, the film is expected to deliver another ₹100+ crore week, taking its total past ₹700 crore net. This would make it only the second Hindi film after Pushpa 2 to achieve this feat.
Footfalls Magic: The film is set to join the exclusive 3 crore footfalls club next week, becoming only the fifth Bollywood film post-pandemic to achieve this (after Pathaan, Gadar 2, Jawan, and Stree 2). By the end of its theatrical run, it could challenge Dangal as the most-watched Bollywood film in two decades.
The Pushpa 2 Target: Currently, Pushpa 2: The Rule (Hindi) stands at ₹738 crore net. Based on current trends, Dhurandhar is certain to overtake it by Week 5, establishing itself as the new “Industry Hit” in Hindi cinema.
