Ranveer Singh’s latest film, Dhurandhar, is making waves in Mumbai’s cinema scene. Following a spectacular opening, many theaters now feature non-stop screenings of the film, some featuring showtimes as late as 6 AM.
Dhurandhar’s Box Office Triumph
Dhurandhar had a remarkable debut, clocking in a net collection of ₹27 crore on its opening day. This exceeds trade predictions which estimated the film would earn between ₹18-20 crore. The film’s earnings mark the highest opening of Ranveer Singh’s career to date.
The Success of Late-Night Screenings
- PVR Sangam in Chakala offers a 1:50 AM screening.
- Eros Cinema provides a 6 AM show for the IMAX version.
- PVR Citi Mall and MovieMax Sion screen shows during early morning hours.
- Metro INOX has a showing at 1:30 AM.
- Maxus Cinema Bhayandar features 8 screenings during the late-night and early-morning period.
- Maxus Borivali offers six shows within this timeframe.
This surge in screenings has been prompted by high audience demand, as word-of-mouth feedback generated strong interest. Initially, advance bookings were somewhat underwhelming, accumulating only ₹14 crore, but positive reviews have significantly boosted attendance.
