Dhurandhar box office collection day 1 (updated live): Ranveer Singh film zooms past ₹21 crore in style, beats Saiyaara

Dhurandhar box office update
Dhurandhar opened in 5000 screens across India on Friday, 5 December. Given that the film had a slightly subpar advance booking collection of just over ₹9 crore, it needed some boost to take its opening day collection to a respectable figure. That did not happen outright, as the morning shows registered an occupancy of under 16%. However, as positive reviews and audience reactions flooded social media, foot traffic increased. Afternoon shows saw an occupancy of over 28%, and Dhurandhar was up and running.
According to Sacnilk, by 8 pm, the film had earned ₹21.77 crore net in India. Predictions from trade insiders had put the film’s day 1 collection somewhere between ₹15-18 crore, but now that is a thing of the past.
Dhurandhar will be Ranveer Singh’s best opening film in the pandemic era, surpassing the day-one hauls of 83 ( ₹12.64 crore) and Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani ( ₹11.10 crore) comfortably. It has now surpassed the 2025 blockbuster Saiyaara ( ₹21.50 crore). However, it will certainly fall short of Chhaava ( ₹31 crore).
