The claim provides specific box office figures (Rs 0.39 crore, 1,638 shows) for Day 40. While multiple sources mention the film 'Dhurandhar: The Revenge' and its box office performance, the exact figures cited in the claim are not corroborated by the provided web search results, which cite different figures (e.g., ₹3.40 crore on Day 39). Therefore, the specific quantitative claim cannot be corroborated.
