The box office storm around Dhurandhar is getting louder with every passing hour. After surprising the trade with a massive ₹27 crore opening, the film has now entered rare territory. Mumbai theatres have begun 24×7 screenings to handle the overwhelming demand. What started as a strong opening has officially turned into full-blown mania for Dhurandhar.
Midnight Shows And Nonstop Screenings Take Over Mumbai
By Friday evening, exhibitors realised regular show timings were not enough to manage the crowd. Cinemas across the city began adding midnight, post-midnight and early morning screenings for Dhurandhar. PVR Sangam in Chakala rolled out a 1:50 AM show, while Metro INOX introduced a 1:30 AM screening. Eros also announced a rare 6 AM IMAX show, showing just how massive the demand is.
PVR Citi Mall and MovieMax Sion quickly joined the list with late-night additions. But the biggest highlight came from Maxus Cinema Bhayandar, which is now operating almost as a 24-hour zone for Dhurandhar. With eight late-night and early morning shows across multiple screens, the film is running nearly nonstop. Maxus Borivali followed with six such screenings during the same period.
Word Of Mouth Pushes The Film Beyond Predictions
Trade analysts expected an ₹18–20 crore opening, but Dhurandhar stunned everyone with a ₹27 crore start. It stands as the biggest opening of Ranveer Singh’s career and one of 2025’s strongest Hindi film debuts after Chhaava.
Interestingly, advance bookings were only ₹14 crore, but strong word of mouth turned things around dramatically from the first afternoon show. Audience turnout surged so rapidly that exhibitors immediately expanded show timings to keep up with the demand. While there have been some unverified discussions online about block bookings, the theatre-level frenzy makes one thing clear: Dhurandhar has connected strongly with viewers.
