One-horse race Dangal sweeps box office
MUMBAI: It has been a one-horse race at the box office as Dangal sweeps the box office setting new records. The film crossed the Rs 100-crore mark in its first weekend and continued to enjoy a healthy run through rest of the week to almost make it to the Rs 200 crore mark in its first week as it collected Rs 197.55 crore.
As is the norm, no major film released a week after another big film, the film also had an open run during its second weekend which was expected to add another huge chunk to the film’s kitty and that is how it has been. The film has had an outstanding second weekend as it set a new peak for the second Sunday with figures of Rs 31.27 crore.
The film added Rs 72.93 crore for its second weekend taking its 10-day total to Rs 271.24 crore.
The film showed all indications of crossing the Rs 300 crore mark from day one following its reports. Now, despite the Christmas festival season and holidays coming to end, the film should manage the Rs 300-crore milestone with ease because it will go on to enjoy a near solo run till 13 January when the flow of regular releases starts.
*Wajah Tum Ho failed badly. After a poor first week, the film adds a meager seven lakh in its second week to take its two week total to Rs 10.8 crore.
*Befikre collects about a crore in its third week to take its three week tally to Rs 59.5 crore.
*Kahaani 2 has collected Rs 20 lakh in its fourth week to take its four week total to Rs 30.7 crore.
*Dear Zindagi has added Rs 15 lakh in its fifth week to take its five week total to Rs 63.95 lakh.

Dhurandhar the revenge storms past Rs 1,000 crore in a week, rewrites box office records
Aditya Dhar’s spy thriller sets fastest run to Rs 1,000 crore with record-breaking weekday hold
MUMBAI: The box office has a new juggernaut—and it is moving at breakneck speed. Dhurandhar the revenge has smashed past the Rs 1,000 crore mark worldwide in just a week, clocking a staggering Rs 1,088 crore and resetting the rules of the blockbuster game.
Backed by Jio Studios and B62 Studios, and directed by Aditya Dhar, the spy action sequel opened to the biggest weekend ever for an Indian film globally—and then refused to slow down. Unlike typical tentpole releases that taper off after Sunday, this one powered through the weekdays with rare muscle, posting Rs 64 crore on Monday, Rs 58 crore on Tuesday, Rs 49 crore on Wednesday and Rs 53 crore on Thursday.
The numbers stack up to a formidable first-week haul. India collections stand at Rs 690 crore nett and Rs 814 crore gross, while overseas markets have chipped in Rs 274 crore, taking the worldwide total to Rs 1,088 crore in just eight days.
The film’s opening weekend alone delivered Rs 466 crore, laying the foundation for what is now being billed as the fastest climb to the Rs 1,000 crore club in Indian cinema. Every single day of its first week has set fresh benchmarks, from the highest opening weekend to the strongest weekday hold—metrics that typically separate hits from phenomena.
A sequel to the earlier hit Dhurandhar, the film has not just built on its predecessor’s momentum but obliterated previous records, emerging as the biggest global blockbuster run by an Indian film to date.
At this pace, the film is not merely riding a wave—it is creating one.
