Dhurandhar 2 has given a major boost to PVR INOX in the fourth quarter. The film’s strong performance has helped the multiplex chain recover after a series of weak releases earlier this year.
Reports suggest that PVR INOX is set to close FY26 on a positive note. This turnaround is largely driven by the success of Dhurandhar: The Revenge.
Promoter Sanjeev Kumar Bijli has also confirmed the film’s impact on business. The big budget entertainer has performed exceptionally well within a short span.
Starring Ranveer Singh, Sara Arjun and Sanjay Dutt, the film has crossed ₹600 crore in India within just seven days. It has quickly emerged as a major box office success.
The total collections are estimated at around ₹641 crore net and ₹756 crore gross. These numbers have significantly improved the company’s fourth quarter outlook.
Earlier, PVR INOX faced a slowdown due to multiple underperforming films. Releases like O’Romeo, Mardani 3 and The Kerala Story 2 failed to draw strong footfall.
Border 2 managed only moderate success, adding to the weak quarter. Before Dhurandhar 2, total collections were around ₹1,511 crore, much lower than last year’s ₹2,190 crore.
After the film’s release, key metrics have shown clear improvement. Theatre occupancy has increased from nearly 50 percent to 60 percent.
The average ticket price is now around ₹350. Spending on food and beverages has also risen to about ₹200 per person.
Advertising revenues have seen growth as well. Encouraged by this momentum, PVR INOX plans to expand by adding 100 to 110 screens every year.
The company is also focusing on South India, which contributes a major share of its screens. This strategy is expected to support future growth.
