{ "title": "Dhurandhar Defies Odds: Ranveer Singh Film Soars to ₹739 Cr, Leaves Ikkis in the Dust on New Year's Day", "article": ` In a remarkable feat, Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar continues to dominate the domestic box office, shrugging off the challenge from Sriram Raghavan's Ikkis on New Year's Day. The spy thriller, directed by Aditya Dhar, has maintained its top spot for the third time in four weeks, despite a new release attempting to disrupt its momentum. According to Sacnilk, Dhurandhar raked in ₹15.75 crore net in India on January 1, bringing its total domestic haul to ₹739 crore. Notably, the film has earned over ₹100 crore in its fourth week, setting a new record for an Indian film. This impressive performance has put Dhurandhar within striking distance of Pushpa 2's Hindi domestic record of ₹812 crore. With the film expected to see a significant jump over the weekend, it is likely to cross ₹800 crore by next week. Dhurandhar has already proven its staying power, outpacing two previous releases - Avatar: Fire and Ash and Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri - that attempted to challenge its dominance. Ikkis, Agastya Nanda's war drama, arrived four weeks after Dhurandhar's release, but was unable to match the latter's box office prowess. Despite earning a respectable ₹7 crore on its opening day, Dhurandhar maintained its lead, asserting its dominance in the market. Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar has emerged as one of the most successful Bollywood films of all time, with a global collection of over ₹1100 crore. The film boasts an impressive cast, including Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, R. Madhavan, Sanjay Dutt, and Arjun Rampal. With its remarkable box office performance, Dhurandhar is set to surpass even all-time blockbusters like Jawan and KGF Chapter 2 before it concludes its run. ` }
