Hold onto your seats, because Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar is shattering box office records in a way that's leaving everyone stunned! But here's where it gets controversial: Can it truly dethrone the reigning champions and become the highest-grossing Hindi film ever? Let's dive into the numbers and see what's fueling this cinematic juggernaut.
As of December 25, 2025, Dhurandhar has stormed past the ₹577 crore nett mark in just 20 days, thanks to a Christmas Eve surge that saw it rake in approximately ₹17.25 crore nett on its third Wednesday. And this is the part most people miss: The film is on the brink of crossing ₹600 crore nett, and even if it falls short, it’ll only be by a whisker—a crore or two at most. This isn’t just impressive; it’s unprecedented.
The third week alone has been a monster, netting around ₹138 crore in six days, and it’s set to surpass ₹150 crore today. To put that in perspective, no other Hindi film has even crossed ₹100 crore nett in its third week. Bold prediction: The fourth week, fueled by New Year celebrations, could add another ₹100 crore, pushing the total past ₹700 crore nett. With minimal competition in January, Dhurandhar is poised to dominate until Border 2 arrives during Republic Day week.
The film is on track to surpass Pushpa 2 (Hindi)’s ₹738 crore nett record, but the ₹800 crore mark seems like a stretch—unless, of course, it pulls off another surprise. In terms of footfalls, Dhurandhar is nearing 2.50 crore and is expected to join the elite 3 crore club next week, becoming only the fifth Bollywood film post-pandemic to achieve this feat, alongside Pathaan, Gadar 2, Jawan, and Stree 2. By the end of its run, it might even challenge Dangal as the most-watched Bollywood film in two decades.
Here’s a breakdown of its box office journey so far:
Box Office Collections of Dhurandhar in India:
- Week One: ₹196.50 crore
