In a significant box office shake-up, the film Dhurandhar has achieved a major milestone by surpassing the lifetime India collections of the blockbuster Animal. This feat, confirmed as of 22 December 2025, propels Dhurandhar into the elite club of the top 10 highest-grossing Indian films of all time within the domestic market.
