Aditya Dhar's much-anticipated espionage thriller, 'Dhurandhar', is proving to be an unstoppable force at the box office. The film, which features Ranveer Singh in a pivotal role, has continued its record-breaking spree well into its second week, showcasing phenomenal staying power and audience love.
Record-Breaking Domestic Collections
According to the latest data from trade tracker Sacnilk, 'Dhurandhar' has amassed an estimated ₹365.36 crore in net collections within India during its first 11 days of release. The film demonstrated remarkable strength over its second weekend, pulling in ₹32.5 crore on its second Friday and soaring to ₹53 crore on the following Saturday. Even as the weekdays began, the momentum remained strong, with early estimates for the second Monday standing at a solid ₹14.61 crore.
This performance has allowed the spy saga to shatter several industry benchmarks. It has now secured the title for the highest second-Friday collection of 2025 in Hindi cinema, surpassing other major releases like 'Chhaava' and 'Kantara 2'. Furthermore, the film's blistering pace enabled it to enter the coveted ₹300 crore club faster than almost all other major releases this year, cementing its status as one of the biggest commercial successes in Ranveer Singh's career.
Global Domination and Industry Impact
The film's triumph is not confined to Indian shores. On the global stage, 'Dhurandhar' has been equally formidable. Trade analysts estimate its worldwide gross to be around ₹530 crore. This impressive figure has been fueled by robust word-of-mouth both domestically and in international markets. Within just 10 days of release, the film earned over $12 million (approx. ₹100 crore) from overseas territories alone.
A significant surge was noted during the second weekend internationally, where it collected more than $4.5 million, indicating growing traction beyond its initial overseas numbers. The film's success has had a tangible positive effect on the broader exhibition sector. Shares of leading cinema chain PVR Inox witnessed notable gains in the Indian stock markets, reflecting investor confidence in sustained footfall driven by the film's blockbuster run.
Sustained Audience Interest and Film Details
Theatrical occupancy figures for Day 11 (for the Hindi 2D version) show that audience interest, while moderating on a weekday, remains healthy. Morning shows saw an occupancy of 21.75%, which jumped to 40.74% for afternoon shows. Among major cities, Bengaluru led the pack with 42.50% occupancy, followed closely by Pune and Chennai at 38.50% each. Cities like Surat (9.00%) and Kolkata (20.00%) reported lower turnout.
Produced by Jio Studios and B62 Studios, 'Dhurandhar' boasts an ensemble cast including Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, R. Madhavan, Sanjay Dutt, and Sara Arjun. The plot revolves around an Indian intelligence operative's deep-cover mission spanning a decade within Karachi's networks. Released on 5 December 2025, the film has received acclaim for its high-octane action, powerful performances, and grand production scale, though its extensive 214-minute runtime has been a point of discussion among critics.
As it stands, 'Dhurandhar' has emerged as the third highest-grossing Hindi film of 2025 in India and ranks among the top Indian films globally for the year. With its success firmly established, the stage is set for the already-announced sequel, 'Dhurandhar: Part 2 – Revenge', which is scheduled to hit theatres on 19 March 2026.
