The year 2026 has begun with a cinematic tsunami, and its name is 'Dhurandhar'. The Ranveer Singh-starrer Hindi spy thriller, directed by Aditya Dhar, has not just continued its historic box office run but has further cemented its legacy as an all-time great. After a spectacular December release, the film has wrapped up its fourth week with a monumental performance, shattering records and tightening its grip on the Indian box office.
Unprecedented Fourth Week Haul
According to early estimates from industry tracker Sacnilk, 'Dhurandhar' added approximately Rs 15.75 crore to its tally on its 28th day in theatres. This contributed to a phenomenal fourth-week collection of around Rs 106.5 crore. This figure is not just impressive; it is historic. It has smashed the previous record for the highest fourth-week collection in Bollywood history, which was held by 'Pushpa: The Rule - Part 2' at Rs 53.75 crore. Essentially, 'Dhurandhar' has nearly doubled the existing benchmark.
The film's journey has been a masterclass in sustained success. It opened with an explosive Rs 207.25 crore in its first week, followed by an even stronger Rs 253.25 crore in Week 2. While Week 3 saw a dip to Rs 172 crore, the New Year holiday period provided a massive boost, propelling the film to its record-breaking Week 4. The film has also maintained an unprecedented streak of double-digit daily collections, a feat no other Hindi blockbuster has achieved.
Total Collections and All-Time Rankings
With its Day 28 earnings included, the estimated India net collection for 'Dhurandhar' now stands at a staggering Rs 739 crore. In terms of India gross collections, the film has climbed to approximately Rs 886.75 crore. This monumental domestic performance has firmly sealed its position as the biggest Hindi grosser of all time.
The film's success is not confined to Indian shores. Overseas, the Ranveer Singh-led project has been a stellar performer, raking in an estimated Rs 250 crore from international markets. This brings the film's worldwide box office total to approximately Rs 1,136.75 crore, solidifying its status as the highest-grossing Hindi film in history.
On the all-India gross chart, 'Dhurandhar' has now entered the hallowed top five. It currently trails only cinematic giants like 'RRR', 'KGF Chapter 2', 'Baahubali 2: The Conclusion', and 'Pushpa: The Rule - Part 2'.
The Road Ahead and Industry Impact
The film's relentless run shows no immediate signs of slowing down. Trade analysts are now watching closely to see if 'Dhurandhar' can challenge the Week 5 records as well. The current record for the highest fifth-week collection is held by Vicky Kaushal's 'Chhaava', estimated at around Rs 30.05 crore. Given its current hold, 'Dhurandhar' is in a prime position to aim for this milestone.
The success of 'Dhurandhar' represents a significant moment for Hindi cinema. Directed by Aditya Dhar and powered by a career-defining performance from Ranveer Singh, the spy thriller has demonstrated the massive potential of high-concept, well-executed Bollywood spectacles. Its performance has overshadowed new releases like 'Ikkis', proving that content with strong word-of-mouth can have extraordinary legs at the box office. The film is not just a commercial hit; it is a cultural phenomenon rewriting the rulebook for success in the Indian film industry.
