The 50-day box office journey of 'Dhurandhar' comes to a close with a disappointing Rs 55 lakh collection, marking the lowest in its history. The film, starring Ranveer Singh and Akshaye Khanna, entered its eighth week, but the numbers tell a tale of decline. Despite initial success, 'Dhurandhar' faced a significant drop in earnings, falling below the Rs 1 crore mark for the first time. This marks the lowest Friday collection for the film. The week-wise breakdown reveals a steady decline: Week 1: Rs 207.25 crore, Week 2: Rs 253.25 crore, Week 3: Rs 172 crore, Week 4: Rs 106.5 crore, Week 5: Rs 51.25 crore, Week 6: Rs 26.35 crore, Week 7: Rs 13.9 crore. The total net earnings stand at Rs 831.5 crore, while the gross total is an impressive Rs 997 crore. The film's worldwide collection is estimated at Rs 1288.9 crore, with a notable Rs 294 crore from overseas. 'Dhurandhar' faced competition from 'Avatar: Fire and Ash', 'Ikkis', and 'The Raja Saab', but it was the war film 'Border 2' that ultimately impacted its performance. The film's decline began in week 7, with a collection of just Rs 13.9 crore, and it continued into week 8, starting with a meager Rs 50 lakh. Despite tying with Sunny Deol's 'Gadar 2' in the top 10, 'Dhurandhar' still has a long way to reach the record-holder 'Stree 2', which collected Rs 4.55 crore. The question remains: Can 'Dhurandhar' make a final push to surpass the Rs 1,000 crore mark with the extended weekend ahead?
