Dhurandhar adds post midnight, early morning shows post blockbuster opening, Ranveer Singh film plays 24 hours in Mumbai | Bollywood
The new spy thriller Dhurandhar — starring Ranveer Singh — has taken Mumbai by storm. After opening to a whopping ₹27 crore on its first day (much above the initial prediction of ₹18–20 crore), several cinemas across the city have rolled out post-midnight and early-morning showtimes. Some theatres are now screening the film around the clock, with shows even at 1:50 AM, 4:00 AM and 6:00 AM. With this surge in demand, exhibitors are aiming to keep the momentum going through late-night slots — giving fans even more chances to catch the film.
The Key points
- Dhurandhar’s opening day earnings stood at ₹27 crore — Ranveer Singh’s biggest opening yet.
- Early box-office expectations were ₹18–20 crore, but strong word-of-mouth pushed the number much higher.
- In response, multiple Mumbai cinemas introduced post-midnight and early-morning screenings.
- Some theatres (like Maxus Cinema Bhayandar) are offering as many as 8 shows between midnight and 7 AM.
- Others such as Metro INOX, PVR Citi Mall, MovieMax Sion, and Eros IMAX added select late-night or early-morning slots.
- Even standard multiplexes in suburbs turned to 24-hour showings to meet overwhelming demand.
- The film’s content — a spy narrative set in early-2000s Pakistan — along with a star-studded cast, boosted audience interest.
- The move highlights growing popularity of overnight/late-night screenings for blockbuster films.
- Post-midnight shows are increasingly becoming a hallmark of a major hit in India’s post-pandemic cinema trend.
- This strategy could extend Dhurandhar’s longevity in theatres by tapping audiences beyond usual show timings.
