The Bollywood box office has a new reigning champion. The spy thriller 'Dhurandhar', starring Ranveer Singh and directed by Aditya Dhar, has achieved a monumental feat by becoming the highest-grossing Hindi film of all time in India.
A Historic Box Office Run
Since its release on December 5, 'Dhurandhar' has been on an unstoppable commercial run. The film's momentum shows no signs of slowing down, even in its fourth week. On its 22nd day in theatres, the espionage drama added an impressive ₹15 crore to its total, pushing its domestic net collection to a staggering ₹648 crore.
This colossal figure has allowed 'Dhurandhar' to officially dethrone Shah Rukh Khan's blockbuster 'Jawan', which previously held the record with earnings of ₹640 crore in India. The film has not just broken but rewritten long-standing box office records, firmly securing its place at the pinnacle of Bollywood's commercial success stories.
Industry and Celebrity Acclaim
The film's success is fueled by both audience love and widespread critical acclaim. It has received glowing reviews and praise from numerous industry stalwarts including Akshay Kumar, Shilpa Shetty, Anupam Kher, and filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma.
Adding her voice to this chorus of appreciation, actress Sobhita Dhulipala recently shared her enthusiastic review. On Saturday, she took to her Instagram Stories to express her admiration for the film and its team.
In her post, Sobhita described 'Dhurandhar' as "mind-blowing" and "unlike any other." She wrote, "DHURANDHAR Wow. Wow. Wow. Breathtaking. Mind blowing. Inspiring. Unlike any other. !!!Supreme!!!" She specifically applauded director Aditya Dhar, lead actor Ranveer Singh, and also showered praise on co-star Sara Arjun for her standout performance, noting "What talent, what beauty."
What This Milestone Means
The success of 'Dhurandhar' marks a significant moment for Hindi cinema. It demonstrates the massive audience pull for well-crafted, high-concept action thrillers and solidifies Ranveer Singh's position as a major box office draw. For director Aditya Dhar, this back-to-back success following the monumental 'Uri: The Surgical Strike' cements his reputation as a filmmaker who delivers both critical and commercial juggernauts.
The film's journey is a testament to the power of combining strong storytelling, directorial vision, and powerful performances. As 'Dhurandhar' continues its theatrical run, the industry and fans alike are watching to see how high the final numbers will climb, setting a new benchmark for future blockbusters to aspire to.
