Ranveer Singh's 'Dhurandhar' Creates Box Office History with Rs 1,000 Crore Milestone
Ranveer Singh's latest cinematic venture, 'Dhurandhar', has etched its name in the annals of Indian box office history by achieving a monumental feat. According to the most recent reports, the film has officially surpassed the Rs 1,000 crore gross mark at the domestic box office, accomplishing this remarkable milestone in just 53 days since its theatrical release. This achievement comes as the film prepares for its highly anticipated digital premiere on Netflix this Friday, January 30.
Unprecedented Success in Single Language Release
What makes 'Dhurandhar's' accomplishment truly extraordinary is that it has become the first Indian film ever to gross over Rs 1,000 crore net with a release in just a single language - Hindi. Previous record-holders such as 'Baahubali 2: The Conclusion', 'KGF: Chapter 2', and 'Pushpa 2: The Rule' all benefited from wide multi-language releases to reach similar financial heights. 'Dhurandhar' has demonstrated exceptional audience appeal and commercial viability through its focused Hindi release strategy.
Strong Box Office Performance Against Competition
Box office estimates from Sacnilk reveal that 'Dhurandhar' continues to perform robustly even in its eighth week of theatrical run. Over the recent weekend, the film managed to rake in above Rs 1 crore, holding its ground impressively against the new war drama 'Border 2', which recorded an impressive Rs 177 crore haul during the Republic Day weekend. This sustained performance indicates the film's enduring popularity and strong word-of-mouth among audiences.
Digital Premiere and Sequel Updates
With the film now having crossed the coveted Rs 1,000 crore threshold, the makers are shifting their focus toward its digital takeover. 'Dhurandhar', which had a grand theatrical release on December 5, is scheduled to make its online debut on Netflix on January 30. This strategic timing ensures the film reaches digital audiences well before the arrival of its sequel.
Meanwhile, preparations are in full swing for the sequel, 'Dhurandhar 2', officially titled 'Dhurandhar: The Revenge'. The film is slated for a grand theatrical release on March 19, 2026. Recent developments indicate that the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has granted certifications for multiple teaser cuts of the upcoming sequel.
The certification details reveal:
- Teaser 1A has received a U/A 16+ certificate with a runtime of 1 minute and 9.6 seconds
- Teaser 2 and Teaser 2A have both been granted an A (Adults Only) rating, with runtimes of 1 minute 48 seconds and 1 minute 9.6 seconds respectively
This multi-version teaser approach suggests the filmmakers are tailoring promotional content to suit different platforms and audience segments, indicating sophisticated marketing strategies for the sequel's rollout.
