James Cameron’s holiday-season release, Avatar: Fire and Ash, is holding steady at the Indian box office despite tough competition from Ranveer Singh’s Bollywood release, Dhurandhar.
The film opened in India with approximately Rs 22.50 crore and registered a slim 15% growth on Day 2. On Saturday, Avatar 3 collected around Rs 25.50 crore.

How does it compare to The Way of Water?
The comparison with Avatar: The Way of Water (2022) is inevitable and not entirely favourable. The previous film had opened to nearly Rs 50 crore on Day 1 and collected close to Rs 100 crore in its first two days in India. In contrast, Fire and Ash is currently running almost 50 per cent behind at the same point.
Is Dhurandhar affecting Avatar’s run in India?
Trade analysts point to the continued dominance of Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar, which is still pulling audiences even in its third week. On Day 16 alone, the film reportedly collected Rs 33.50 crore net, overshadowing new releases and limiting Avatar’s growth potential in several centres.
How is the film performing internationally?
Globally, Avatar: Fire and Ash crossed USD 100.4 million (approx. Rs 8,333 crore) within its first few days. China led overseas markets with USD 17.2 million (Rs 1,428 crore approx.), followed by France at USD 8.7 million (Rs 722 crore) and Germany at USD 8.3 million (Rs 689 crore).
India contributed USD 2.6 million (around Rs 216 crore) to the international tally. Early projections suggest a global opening weekend between USD 340 350 million (Rs 28,220 29,050 crore approx.).
While Avatar: Fire and Ash is expected to maintain a steady run, its real test will be whether it can break free from strong local competition and regain the franchise’s trademark box office momentum.
