Ranveer Singh's spy thriller, Dhurandhar, directed by Aditya Dhar, continued its phenomenal run on Monday, December 8, marking its fourth day in cinemas. Following a record-breaking opening weekend that saw the film breach the coveted ₹100 crore net milestone in just three days, the action-drama demonstrated a strong hold against the usual weekday drop. Early estimates for its first Monday place the collection at approximately ₹22-23 crore net. This robust figure, which represents a respectable decline from the mammoth Sunday collection of ₹43 crore, brings the film's total India net collection to an estimated ₹125-126 crore. The film's enduring performance underscores the positive audience response and strong word-of-mouth, solidifying its position as one of the biggest and fastest earners of 2025, and positioning it for a spectacular first-week total.
Tere Ishk Mein Crosses Century Mark Amidst Drop
The box office narrative for the romantic drama Tere Ishk Mein, starring Dhanush and Kriti Sanon, saw two contrasting developments on Monday, December 8. On the one hand, the film achieved a significant milestone by finally crossing the ₹100 crore net mark in India on its 11th day, a testament to its strong hold during its first week. This figure now stands at an estimated ₹102.50 crore net. However, the long-awaited entry into the century club was accompanied by a sharp decline in its daily earnings. The film recorded an estimated collection of only ₹2.50 crore net on its second Monday (Day 11), marking its lowest single-day collection since its release.
Competition Fuels Weekday Decline
The sharp drop in the daily collection of Tere Ishk Mein is largely attributed to the overwhelming screen presence and audience traction commanded by the new release, Dhurandhar. Having opened on the previous Friday, Dhurandhar has successfully diverted the mass market audience, making the second week highly challenging for the romantic drama. While Tere Ishk Mein managed to sustain its run with consistent numbers throughout its first week, the arrival of Ranveer Singh's high-octane actioner has severely impacted its footfalls, particularly on the crucial first weekday. Despite the diminished numbers, crossing the ₹100 crore mark globally is a significant achievement for the Dhanush-Kriti Sanon starrer, but the box office spotlight remains firmly on the roaring success of Dhurandhar.
