Ranveer Singh-starrer Dhurandhar has earned Rs. 200 crore at the Box Office before the first week comes to an end. The film, directed by Aditya Dhar, continues to impress with its Box Office numbers. It earned Rs. 180 crore on first Wednesday and right before second Friday release, the movie has already earned back Rs. 200 crore. The film is now closer to earning back 100% of its budget.
Dhurandhar, led by Ranveer Singh, has earned Rs. 200 crore at the Box Office. With it, the movie is among the fewer releases that has actually fared well at the Box Office. The film earned Rs. 207.25 crore in its first week, a report on Sacnilk confirmed.

Although Dhurandhar did see its biggest drop on first Monday with an earning of Rs. 23.25 crore, the movie has minted stable amount of Rs. 27 crore since its first Tuesday right up to first Thursday. Whether the second week will be any different remains to be seen. Interestingly, the numbers are not too different from the opening day Box Office collection of Rs. 28 crore.

There are movies that could witness a drop in the second week, starting from second Friday. However, there are also movies which pick up pace at the Box Office in the second week. Seeing the Dhurandhar craze on the internet, it would be interesting to see where the movie's Box Office collection goes from here. Another reason why the second weekend is particularly important for Dhurandhar is because this is when the film can earn back 100% of its Rs. 250 crore budget. Will the movie, featuring Akshaye Khanna, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan and Sara Arjun in leading roles with Ranveer, actually earn profits from second week remains to be seen. In terms of competition, Dhurandhar might face minimal competition from Kapil Sharma's Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2.
