The first week of December 2025 has delivered a thunderous start for Bollywood, powered by the colossal opening of Ranveer Singh's high-octane action drama, 'Dhurandhar'. Directed by Aditya Dhar, the film has not only shattered expectations but has also raced past the Rs 30 crore mark within just two days of its release, cementing its place as a major box office force.
Dhurandhar Day 2 Box Office Collection Breakdown
According to industry tracker Sacnilk, 'Dhurandhar' opened on Friday, December 5, 2025, with a powerful net collection of approximately Rs 27 crore in India. The momentum barely dipped on its second day. Early estimates for Saturday indicate the film has already added around Rs 3.93 crore to its tally.
This brings the film's total domestic net collection to an impressive Rs 30.93 crore, and the number is projected to climb higher as the day progresses. The film's strong hold suggests positive word-of-mouth and sets the stage for a robust first weekend.
How Dhurandhar Stacks Up Against 2025's Top Openers
The performance of 'Dhurandhar' has led to a significant reshuffle in the rankings of 2025's biggest opening films. The movie has officially surpassed the opening day numbers of the previous holder of the second spot, the Mohit Suri-directed blockbuster 'Saiyaara'.
Starring Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, 'Saiyaara' had collected Rs 21.9 crore net (Rs 25.75 crore gross) on its first day. 'Dhurandhar' has now claimed that position. However, the top spot for the year's biggest opener remains with Vicky Kaushal's epic historical war drama, which secured a massive Rs 31 crore net (Rs 37.25 crore gross) on its debut.
Plot, Cast, and Critical Reception
'Dhurandhar' is a gripping narrative inspired by multiple true events, including the Kandahar Hijack and the horrific 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks. The film boasts a powerhouse ensemble cast that delivers stellar performances.
Alongside Ranveer Singh, the film features Sara Arjun, Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, R Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, and Rakesh Bedi. Early reviews have praised Singh's layered and restrained performance, noting his distinct avatar despite superficial comparisons to other recent roles. The supporting cast has also been lauded for enriching the film's intense narrative.
The film's explosive opening and sustained collections indicate that Bollywood has found its first major hit of the winter season, with all eyes now on its first-weekend total.
