Dhurandhar to Padmaavat: Ranveer Singh films ranked by their opening weekend collections
A look at Ranveer Singh’s films ranked by opening weekend box office, with Dhurandhar leading the list ahead of Padmaavat, Simmba, and others.
Ranveer Singh’s latest release, Dhurandhar, has opened to numbers that place it firmly at the top of his career’s opening-weekend chart so far. The Aditya Dhar directorial, which arrived in theatres on December 5, has shown sustained momentum through its first stretch, making it the strongest start among the actor’s filmography.
Early trade estimates suggest Dhurandhar is adding Rs. 27–28 crore on Tuesday alone. That pushes its total close to Rs. 158 crore within days. Its opening weekend stands at Rs. 106.50 crore, the highest opening weekend recorded for a Ranveer Singh-led film to date, as per Bollywood Hungama.
Dhurandhar leads the list
Released amid high expectations, Dhurandhar posted an opening day of Rs. 28.60 crore. By the end of its first weekend, collections had crossed the Rs. 100-crore mark. Its early numbers already separate it from the rest of Singh’s films in terms of weekend performance.
