As per reports, the film collected Rs 4.75 crore nett (India) on day 34, showcasing a strong mid-week performance in the fifth week of its release. Industry associations are advocating for a review of the prohibition, but it remains to be seen if diplomatic and institutional measures would enable Dhurandhar to reach Gulf theatres in the near future.
