Box Office Report | January 20, 2026: Dhurandhar stays steady; The Raja Saab, Happy Patel struggle on Tuesday

Tuesday proved to be a mixed day at the Indian box office, with most films witnessing the expected weekday slowdown after the weekend rush. While long-running releases like Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar continue to show remarkable staying power, several recent releases—including Rahu Ketu and Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos—failed to gain momentum.

Here’s a detailed look at how films performed at the box office on Tuesday, January 20, 2026.

Rahu Ketu sees further dip on Day 5

Starring Pulkit Samrat and Varun Sharma, Rahu Ketu continued its downward trend on Tuesday.

• Tuesday collection: ₹47 lakh
• Monday collection: ₹55 lakh
• Total collection: ₹5.42 crore

Despite decent initial interest, the film has struggled to sustain footfalls on weekdays. Trade experts believe that average word-of-mouth and strong competition have impacted its performance.

Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos fails to attract audiences

Produced by Aamir Khan, Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos also failed to recover after the weekend.

• Tuesday collection: ₹27 lakh
• Monday collection: ₹45 lakh
• Total collection: ₹5.07 crore

The film features Aamir Khan, Imran Khan, and Mithila Palkar, but has not resonated with audiences despite the notable cast. Analysts point to weak promotions and limited appeal as key reasons behind its underwhelming run.

Dhurandhar continues to show exceptional hold

Ranveer Singh’s blockbuster Dhurandhar remains the standout performer at the box office.

• Tuesday collection: ₹1.50 crore
• Monday collection: ₹1.40 crore
• Days in theatres: 47
• Total collection: ₹828.10 crore

Even in its seventh week, the film continues to earn more than several newer releases. Its strong hold underscores its massive audience acceptance and long-term theatrical value.

Trade insiders are already gearing up for Dhurandhar 2, which is slated for release on March 19, 2026, where it will clash with Yash’s Toxic—one of the most anticipated box office battles of the year.

The Raja Saab struggles despite star power

Prabhas’ The Raja Saab saw a sharp decline in collections on Tuesday.

• Tuesday collection: ₹73 lakh
• Monday collection: ₹1.15 crore
• Total collection: ₹141.43 crore

Despite featuring Prabhas, along with Sanjay Dutt and Zarina Wahab, the film has failed to maintain momentum. Weak word-of-mouth and declining occupancy have significantly affected its box office prospects.

Overall box office outlook

With no major releases midweek, collections are expected to remain muted until the weekend. Films with strong content like Dhurandhar are likely to continue benefiting, while newer releases may struggle to survive unless supported by strong audience feedback.
