Thursday Box Office Verdict

Thursday belonged to ‘Karuppu’, which continued to dominate the domestic box office despite a 22.4 per cent decline. With Rs 189.05 crore already collected globally within a week, the film remains firmly in control of the current theatrical market. ‘Pati Patni Aur Woh Do’ also stayed stable enough to maintain audience interest, although its 27.3 per cent drop suggests slowing momentum heading into the weekend.

Among long-running titles, ‘Bhooth Bangla’ emerged as one of the steadiest performers with only a 12.5 per cent fall on Day 35, while ‘Raja Shivaji’ crossed the Rs 109 crore worldwide mark. However, the biggest headline once again came from ‘Dhurandhar 2’, whose worldwide gross has now reached Rs 1,799.09 crore. With the film just under Rs 1 crore away from the Rs 1800 crore milestone, all eyes are now on whether it can cross the landmark in the coming days.
