The mass pockets and heartland markets also showed improvement as the day progressed… However, the film needs to make up for the shortfall in these markets on Saturday and Sunday to post an impressive opening weekend total. Given its hefty price tag, #Dhurandhar [Week 1] Fri Rs 28.60 cr. #India biz | Official Nett BOC | #Boxoffice.”
