Dhurandhar Scripts Box Office History with Record Seventh-Week Run
The Ranveer Singh-starrer Dhurandhar has achieved a monumental milestone in Indian cinema by breaking the long-standing box office record previously held by Stree 2. On its 49th day since release, the Aditya Dhar directorial has emerged as the highest-grossing Hindi film in its seventh week, amassing an impressive India net collection of ₹829.99 crore.
Historic Achievement and Future Prospects
With this remarkable feat, Dhurandhar now stands as the biggest week-seven grosser of all time, inching closer to the coveted ₹1,000 crore milestone. The film's record-breaking performance comes just ahead of the highly anticipated release of Border 2, starring Sunny Deol and Varun Dhawan, which is expected to dominate theatres in the coming weeks.
Sustained Momentum Beyond Expectations
Directed by Aditya Dhar, this espionage spy thriller has defied industry expectations by maintaining strong momentum well into its seventh week. On its seventh Thursday—marking 49 days since its December 5 release—the film continued to post steady numbers despite experiencing a natural decline in collections.
By comfortably overtaking Stree 2 to claim the top spot, Dhurandhar has demonstrated exceptional staying power. As it prepares to face stiff competition from Border 2, the film's theatrical journey stands as one of the most surprising box office success stories in recent times, driven by powerful performances from Ranveer Singh and Akshaye Khanna.
Detailed Box Office Performance
According to industry tracker Sacnilk, the film earned ₹1.65 crore on Tuesday (Day 47) and ₹1.15 crore on Wednesday (Day 48). Early estimates suggest a further marginal dip on Day 49, with Thursday collections standing at approximately ₹0.59 crore by afternoon. This brings the film's total India net earnings to the staggering figure of ₹829.99 crore.
Dominance Over January 2026 Releases
Despite registering its lowest single-day collection so far, Dhurandhar's Day 48 numbers remain higher than those of all major Hindi films released in January 2026. The film's ₹1.15 crore Day 48 collection matched the overall daily performance of Ikkis, the Agastya Nanda-led war film that failed to cross the ₹1.15 crore mark after Day 10 and concluded its 19-day run with an India net collection of ₹31.5 crore.
Other January releases paled in comparison:
- Aamir Khan-produced Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos collected ₹1.15 crore on its opening day and earned ₹5.29 crore net over six days.
- Comedy Rahu Ketu, featuring Varun Sharma and Pulkit Samrat, performed marginally better with ₹5.87 crore in six days.
Overshadowing December 2025 Releases
Dhurandhar's dominance extended to overshadowing several December 2025 releases as well:
- Kapil Sharma's Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 managed ₹11.9 crore in 11 days.
- Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday-starrer Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri failed to make a significant impact, with Dharma Productions' romantic comedy collecting ₹49.5 crore worldwide.
The film's exceptional performance across multiple weeks demonstrates the enduring appeal of well-crafted espionage thrillers with strong star power and direction, setting a new benchmark for Bollywood box office achievements.
