How is Dhurandhar faring in comparison to Animal and Chhaava?

It's only fair that Dhurandhar is compared to Ranbir Kapoor's Animal and Vicky Kaushal's Chhaava at the box office. Animal (2023) collected ₹337.58 crore in its first week in India. Chhaava minted ₹219 crore. One of the major factors that has pushed the collection of Animal past the ₹300 crore mark, which Chhaava and Dhurandhar could not achieve, is the collection in the South Indian markets. Animal raked in over ₹36 crore from its regional versions only, while Chhaava and Dhurandhar only released in Hindi. From the figures it is also evident that Animal had far more hype in its initial release period, while Chhaava fared steady in the long run and outgrossed the former.
