Comparison with Other Big Openers
Dhurandhar’s ₹27 crore day one collection puts it ahead of Simmba (₹25.12 crore) and Padmaavat (₹23.75 crore), but still behind Chhaava’s record-breaking ₹139.63 crore opening. However, Dhurandhar’s growth pattern suggests it may sustain strong numbers over the weekend.
