Dhurandhar Earns ₹1.40 Crore On Its Day 46, More Than Happy Patel & Rahu Ketu

On Tuesday, January 20, 2026, the Indian box office witnessed a stark contrast between a record-breaking veteran and struggling new releases. While Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar continues to defy gravity in its seventh week, the latest offerings—Happy Patel and Rahu Ketu—have largely failed to find an audience.

1. Dhurandhar: The Unstoppable Juggernaut

Even on its 46th day (seventh Monday), the Aditya Dhar-directed spy thriller minted ₹1.40 crore, bringing its total India net collection to approximately ₹826.50 crore.

• Record Breaker: It has officially surpassed the Hindi net lifetime collection of Pushpa 2: The Rule to become the highest-grossing Hindi film domestically.
• Global Footprint: Its worldwide gross now stands at a staggering ₹1,328 crore, making it the second highest-grossing Bollywood film of all time, trailing only Dangal.

2. The Monday “Crash”: Happy Patel & Rahu Ketu

The new releases saw a steep decline after an already lukewarm opening weekend.

• Happy Patel (Khatarnak Jasoos): The Vir Das starrer and Aamir Khan production managed only ₹40 lakh on its fourth day. With a total of ₹4.75 crore against a ₹25 crore budget, the film is heading toward a “disaster” status.
• Rahu Ketu: The Pulkit Samrat and Varun Sharma comedy mirrored this trend, collecting ₹40 lakh for a four-day total of ₹4.80 crore. Mounted on a budget of ₹20-25 crore, it is also struggling to recover costs.

3. The “Border 2” Storm (Release: Jan 23)

The primary reason for the dry spell of mid-budget films is the massive anticipation for Border 2.

• Advance Booking: Ticket sales opened fully on January 19 and have already grossed ₹1.94 crore for Day 1.
• National Chains: Over 28,000 tickets were sold in PVR-INOX-Cinepolis within the first few hours, outperforming recent hits like Sikandar.
