The action-packed spectacle Dhurandhar, starring Ranveer Singh and directed by Aditya Dhar, is scripting a monumental success story at the box office. As of its thirteenth day in theatres, the film has not only crossed a crucial global milestone but has also demolished a long list of industry records, establishing itself as a force to be reckoned with.
Historic Numbers and Global Domination
According to data from industry tracker Sacnilk, Dhurandhar earned an impressive Rs 30 crore net in India on its 13th day. This robust performance has propelled its total domestic net collection to a staggering Rs 411 crore. The film's worldwide gross has now surged past the Rs 600 crore mark, standing at an estimated Rs 623.5 crore after just under two weeks. This places it on a trajectory to potentially overtake the lifetime global collection of Anil Sharma's Gadar 2 (Rs 686 crore).
A Record-Breaking Spree
The film's journey has been marked by a relentless breaking of benchmarks. In total, Dhurandhar has shattered 19 significant box office records in Indian cinema. While it secured second place behind Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Animal in a few A-rated opening day categories, it has taken the top spot in numerous others.
The film demonstrated exceptional staying power beyond the initial hype. Key records highlighting its sustained performance include:
- Becoming Ranveer Singh's biggest opener and highest-grossing film ever, surpassing Padmaavat (Rs 585 crore worldwide).
- Scoring the biggest opening weekend (Rs 103 crore net) and opening week (Rs 207.25 crore net) for the actor.
- Achieving the biggest second week ever in Hindi cinema, and being the only Hindi film to net over Rs 200 crore in its second week.
- Emerging as the highest-grossing A-rated Indian film of 2025.
Strong Audience Pull and Future Prospects
The film's success is fueled by consistent audience turnout. On its thirteenth day, the overall occupancy averaged 42.88%, with evening and night shows witnessing particularly strong engagement at 50.42% and 56.53%, respectively. This indicates undiminished public interest well into its second weekend.
Featuring a powerhouse cast including Arjun Rampal, Sara Arjun, Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, and R Madhavan, Dhurandhar has transformed from a release shrouded in pre-release controversy to an undisputed box office champion. Its ability to set new benchmarks for opening weeks, second-week holds, and overall collections for its lead star and director Aditya Dhar cements its place as one of the most successful theatrical runs of recent times.
