Director Rohit Dhawan's "Dishoom", starring Varun Dhawan, John Abraham and Jacqueline Fernandez, has minted Rs 53.34 crore in its opening week.

"Dishoom", which collected Rs 37.32 crore in its opening weekend, remained strong throughout the week due to positive word of mouth, read a statement issued on behalf of the producers.

Produced by Sajid Nadiadwala under the banner of Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment and presented by Eros International, "Dishoom" revolves around India's top batsman, who goes missing in the Middle East and two police officials from either side of the Arabian Sea team up for a 36-hour manhunt.

Apart from John and Varun who play the policemen, the film stars Akshaye Khanna in a negative role.
