Aditya Dhar's high-octane spy action thriller 'Dhurandhar', featuring powerhouse performers Ranveer Singh and Akshaye Khanna, is scripting a phenomenal chapter at the Indian box office. Despite experiencing its first noticeable drop in daily earnings, the film's historic run remains unstoppable as it nears the end of its second theatrical week, firmly establishing itself as one of the biggest Hindi blockbusters of 2025.
A Minor Dip Amidst Monumental Gains
According to early estimates reported by industry tracker Sacnilk, 'Dhurandhar' garnered approximately Rs 25.5 crore in net collections on its thirteenth day (Wednesday). This marks the film's first entry into the Rs 20 crore range during its second week, after consistently posting staggering figures above Rs 30 crore on most days since its release. The slight decline is considered normal for a film in its second week, especially after an explosive weekend.
The movie's journey began with a thunderous opening, netting a strong Rs 100 crore in its first weekend. It closed its inaugural week with an impressive total of Rs 207 crore net. Starting with an estimated Rs 28 crore on Day 1, the collections demonstrated remarkable consistency, holding around the Rs 27 crore mark for three consecutive days, a clear indicator of sustained audience pull.
Second Week Surge Defies Conventional Trends
In a rare and spectacular show of strength, 'Dhurandhar' witnessed a massive surge in its second week. It kicked off Week 2 with a robust Rs 32 crore on Friday, leading into a blockbuster second weekend. Early estimates placed Saturday's collection at a whopping Rs 53 crore and Sunday's at approximately Rs 58 crore.
The film's momentum barely slowed on weekdays, with both Monday and Tuesday registering identical, strong collections of an estimated Rs 30.5 crore each. This extraordinary hold is widely attributed to powerful word-of-mouth and growing curiosity among cine-goers. Even with Wednesday's dip to Rs 25.5 crore, the film's second-week weekday numbers have stayed higher than its opening day figure, a testament to its widening appeal.
With just one day remaining in its second week, 'Dhurandhar' has already amassed a colossal Rs 230 crore net and is comfortably cruising towards the Rs 250 crore net mark for Week 2 alone. This represents an extraordinary jump of nearly 20% over its first week's total, a feat that makes it the only Hindi film to achieve a higher second week than its first after opening above the Rs 100 crore net benchmark.
Milestones and Records Tumble
The film's record-shattering performance has propelled its India gross collections past the prestigious Rs 500 crore milestone. Trade estimates indicate that 'Dhurandhar' has earned roughly Rs 524.5 crore in India gross, with numbers continuing to climb despite new films preparing for release.
On a personal front for its lead star, 'Dhurandhar' has now become the highest-grossing film of Ranveer Singh's entire career at the worldwide box office. Reports suggest the film has collected an estimated Rs 140 crore from international markets, pushing its worldwide cumulative total to around Rs 664.5 crore.
With this, the spy thriller has officially surpassed the lifetime worldwide collections of the epic 'Padmaavat', where Singh played the antagonist. 'Dhurandhar' reportedly overtook 'Padmaavat's Rs 585 crore worldwide total in just 11 days since its release.
Eyes Set on the Elite Rs 1000 Crore Club
Having already blasted past the Rs 500 crore worldwide mark, 'Dhurandhar' now appears firmly on course to enter the most coveted arena in Indian cinema: the Rs 1000 crore worldwide club. Given its current unstoppable trajectory and unwavering audience interest, trade analysts are confident that crossing this landmark figure is now only a matter of time. The film's success underscores the potent combination of a gripping narrative, stellar performances, and masterful direction, setting a new benchmark for the spy action genre in Bollywood.
