Ranveer Singh's 'Dhurandhar' has just shattered box office records, proving once again that he's a force to be reckoned with! This action-packed film, directed by Aditya Dhar, has stormed the charts, and we're here to break down the numbers.
'Dhurandhar' raked in an estimated Rs 23 crore on its opening Monday, according to Sacnilk, bringing its domestic total to a staggering Rs 126 crore. This impressive performance has set the stage for a potential domestic run exceeding Rs 150 crore, and a worldwide collection that could reach Rs 250 crore by its second weekend. But that's not all – this Monday collection marks Ranveer Singh's biggest to date!
Let's dive into the actor's top 5 films with the biggest Monday earnings:
- Simmba (2018): Directed by Rohit Shetty, this action-comedy saw Ranveer Singh in the role of a corrupt cop who undergoes a transformation. It earned a whopping Rs 21.24 crore on its first Monday, contributing to a total domestic collection of Rs 240.3 crore.
- Padmaavat (2018): Released on a Wednesday with paid previews, this film still managed to pull in Rs 15 crore on its first Monday. Ranveer's portrayal of Alauddin Khilji earned critical acclaim, and the film ultimately grossed Rs 302.15 crore in India, making it Ranveer's highest-grossing film at the time. However, it also faced significant controversy and bans in some regions.
- Bajirao Mastani (2015): This historical epic brought in Rs 10.24 crore on its first Monday, with a lifetime domestic gross of Rs 184.3 crore. While it has since been surpassed by other films, it remains a significant hit in Ranveer's filmography.
- Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-leela (2013): This romantic drama earned Rs 10.24 crore on its first Monday, contributing to a lifetime domestic collection of approximately Rs 158.57 crore. It was Ranveer's first film to enter the Rs 100 crore club.
- Gully Boy (2019): Inspired by the lives of Mumbai street rappers, this film collected Rs 8.65 crore on its first Monday and performed exceptionally well, earning Rs 139.63 crore net in India.
Now, back to 'Dhurandhar'! This spy thriller, inspired by real-life events and covert missions, also features a stellar cast including Akshaye Khanna, R Madhavan, and Sanjay Dutt. It draws inspiration from Operation Lyari, a government-backed crackdown on crime networks.
And this is where it gets interesting... The second part of 'Dhurandhar' is already slated for release on March 19, 2026.
