Dhurandhar beats Cirkus lifetime collection

Dhurandhar set a record for the best-ever opening by a film starring Ranveer Singh in the lead, pipping Simmba and Padmaavat by a fair margin. However, in just two days, it has managed to overtake some of the actor’s previous films’ lifetime collections. Cirkus, the 2022 box office bomb, made just ₹35.80 crore net in India, a mark that Dhurandhar has already surpassed.
