Okay, stop everything you are doing because the comeback we were all manifesting has finally arrived. Ranveer Singh is back, besties, and he has absolutely demolished the "flop era" allegations. Remember when the internet was screaming that his time was up? Yeah, well, Dhurandhar just walked in, dropped a ₹28 Crore opening bomb, and silenced every single troll. The "Main Character Energy" is off the charts. If you haven’t booked your tickets yet, are you even living in 2025? The streets are saying this is giving huge Kantara cult-hit energy, but with that massive Bollywood scale we missed.

The Breakdown: Box Office Tea

The Numbers Don't Lie (And They Are Screaming)

Let’s get straight to the tea. Everyone was predicting a lukewarm ₹20 Crore start (haters gonna hate), but Dhurandhar said "Bet" and delivered ₹28 Crores on Day 1.

But the real magic happened over the weekend. Check this trajectory—it’s actually insane:

Day 1 (Friday): ₹28 Cr
Day 2 (Saturday): ₹32 Cr (Growth? We love to see it.)
Day 3 (Sunday): ₹43 Cr (JUMP. SCARE.)

That Sunday jump is not normal behavior, guys. That’s a "word-of-mouth viral" jump. The total opening weekend sits at a massive ₹103 Crores. To put that in perspective:

It’s the 3rd Biggest Opener of 2025, right behind Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava (₹31 Cr Day 1) and Hrithik’s War 2 (₹29 Cr Day 1).
Ranveer is literally breathing down their necks.

The Comeback Arc: Ranveer vs. His Past

We did a little digging into the "Ranveer Singh Stats" archives, and the glow-up is real.

Jayeshbhai Jordaar's entire lifetime collection? Dhurandhar beat that in ONE DAY.
Cirkus's entire opening weekend? Dhurandhar ate that up on Friday alone.
83 and Rocky Aur Rani's 3-day weekend totals? Dhurandhar matched that on just its first Sunday.

The vibe shift is drastic. From struggling to touch double digits to casually dropping a ₹43 Crore Sunday? That’s what we call a Redemption Arc.

The Victims: Tere Ishk Mein Gets Ghosted

Okay, this part is a little sad if you're a Dhanush stan. Tere Ishk Mein was doing cute numbers, earning ₹20 Crores on its first Sunday. But then Dhurandhar arrived and basically ate its lunch.

Tere Ishk Mein dropped to ₹7 Crores on its second Sunday.
The screens are gone, the hype is hijacked, and it looks like it will wrap up around ₹120-130 Crores. Dhurandhar really said, "Thank u, next."

The 300 Crore Guarantee

Here is the insider prediction: The movie held strong on Monday (the dreaded "Monday Test") with ₹23-24 Crores. That is almost the same as its Friday numbers! If this trend holds, a ₹300 Crore India Net lifetime is 99.99% guaranteed.

The only threat: Avatar is dropping in 10 days. It’s going to steal the IMAX screens (and let's be real, Dhurandhar is more of a mass-center vibe than an IMAX visual treat anyway).
Best Case Scenario: If the movie hits ₹40 Cr on its second Sunday, we could be looking at a ₹550 Crore monster that challenges Chhaava for the No. 1 spot.
