Few could have predicted the extraordinary box office journey Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar would embark on after its release on December 5, 2025.
The film opened with a strong Rs 28 crore nett on its first Friday in India, marking the biggest opening day of Ranveer Singh’s career. Since then, it has delivered relentless growth across both weekdays and weekends, steadily shattering records. It is now the highest-grossing Indian film of 2025 worldwide.
Even after 40 days, Dhurandhar shows no signs of slowing. The film continues to post solid daily figures, cementing its place among the most dominant theatrical runs in recent Hindi cinema history.
Current Box Office Status
On Day 40, the film added Rs 2.90 crore to its domestic total, taking its India nett collection to Rs 863 crore.
A Landmark Film for Aditya Dhar
For director Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar represents a career-defining achievement. His earlier blockbuster Uri: The Surgical Strike had recorded a peak single-day collection of Rs 17.17 crore.
Dhurandhar more than doubled that benchmark, clocking Rs 44.80 crore in a single day—making it both Dhar’s highest one-day grosser and his biggest film to date.
National Box Office Milestones
In its sixth week alone, the film collected Rs 20.25 crore over five days, surpassing Stree 2, which had earned Rs 18.6 crore in the same period—making Dhurandhar the highest-earning Indian film in its sixth week.
Global Achievements
By Day 40, the film’s worldwide gross reached Rs 1,296 crore, overtaking RRR (Rs 1,230 crore) and KGF: Chapter 2 (Rs 1,215 crore). This places Dhurandhar fourth on the all-time list of the highest-grossing Indian films globally.
Record-Breaking ‘A’ Certified Film
The film has also set a new benchmark as the highest-grossing ‘A’ certified film, both domestically and worldwide.
Despite being banned in Gulf countries, Dhurandhar has secured a place in the global top 10 overseas earners, with international collections standing at Rs 290 crore.
Sixth Weekend Without Fatigue
Even deep into its theatrical run, the film continues to dominate. Its Rs 2.90 crore haul on Day 40 makes it the highest-grossing Hindi film ever in its sixth weekend.
Its week-wise India nett collections underline its consistency:
Week 1: Rs 218 crore
Week 2: Rs 261.5 crore
Week 3: Rs 189.3 crore
Week 4: Rs 115.70 crore
Week 5: Rs 56.35 crore
Week 6: Rs 20.25 crore
Box Office Face-Offs
Prabhas-starrer The Raja Saab, which released on Friday, is nearing the Rs 120 crore mark. The Maruthi-directed horror-comedy earned Rs 4.88 crore on Day 5, according to Sacnilk, with Dhurandhar continuing to remain close behind. The new release has also faced strong competition from films like Ikkis.
Weekday Performance That Defied Expectations
One of Dhurandhar’s most striking achievements has been its weekday dominance. On its first Tuesday, the film collected Rs 28.60 crore—the highest first-Tuesday figure of 2025—surpassing titles such as Chhaava and Saiyaara.
By the end of its opening week, collections had already crossed Rs 207.25 crore, proving the film’s appeal extended far beyond weekend crowds.
A Historic Second Weekend
If the opening week showcased scale, the second weekend sealed history.
The film earned Rs 59 crore on its second Sunday, becoming the highest second-Sunday grosser in Hindi cinema, surpassing Pushpa 2: The Rule (Rs 54 crore).
Across its second weekend, Dhurandhar amassed Rs 140–146 crore nett, dethroning Pushpa 2 to become the biggest second-weekend grosser ever for a Hindi or Indian film. In the process, it broke Day 10 records previously held by Jawan, Stree 2 and Animal.
Fastest to Major Milestones
The film’s momentum translated into unprecedented speed records:
Fastest Hindi film to Rs 500 crore nett in India (Day 16)
Fastest to reach Rs 500 crore, Rs 600 crore, Rs 800 crore and Rs 1,000 crore worldwide
Surpassed Gadar 2’s lifetime India nett of Rs 525 crore by Day 16
As of Day 40, Dhurandhar is closing in on the Rs 1,300 crore global mark.
A Theatrical Phenomenon
Featuring Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, R Madhavan, Sara Arjun, Rakesh Bedi, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal and Saumya Tandon, Dhurandhar has firmly established itself as a historic blockbuster.
