Ranveer Singh's adrenaline-fueled spy thriller Dhurandhar is breaking Bollywood records with its phenomenal performance. Released worldwide on December 5th, the film has shown incredible consistency in its first week, with Day 7 collections potentially surpassing Day 1's â‚¹28 crore net, a rare achievement for a major release.

The upward trend on weekdays is fuelled by powerful word of mouth, highlighting the movie's gripping narrative and high-octane action. Dhurandhar has comfortably crossed the â‚¹200 crore India net mark in just seven days, with total first week collections expected to hit â‚¹208+ crore net.

The film's occupancy rates were impressive across metros and mass belts, reflecting its strong appeal. Domestically, it&rsquo;s raked in â‚¹258 crore gross in seven days, while overseas, it grossed â‚¹59 crore, pushing the worldwide total to â‚¹317 crore. The US, UK, Canada, UAE, and Australia contributed significantly, with some territories seeing mid week surges typically reserved for festive periods.

The film&rsquo;s success is attributed to its intense action, engaging storyline, and standout performances, especially from Ranveer Singh and Akshaye Khanna. With the trend still climbing, predictions point toward a â‚¹400 crore net, possibly even touching the â‚¹500 crore club, a remarkable feat for an A-rated film after Ranbir Kapoor Animal.

\r\nRam keen to change his genre.&nbsp; Energetic Hero Ram recently came up with&nbsp; a film titled interestingly as Andhra King Taluka.

However, Dhurandhar has been banned in several Gulf countries, including Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. The decision stems from concerns over its perceived "anti-Pakistan" content, a trend seen in previous Bollywood films like Fighter and Tiger 3 that depicted sensitive cross-border themes.
The Gulf region is a significant market for Bollywood, and this ban impacts the film's potential earnings. Despite this, Dhurandhar is expected to have a solid theatrical run, thanks to its positive audience reception and strong word-of-mouth.
