The Ranveer Singh-starrer spy thriller Dhurandhar continues its remarkable and steady run in cinemas, demonstrating impressive staying power well into its fifth week. On its thirty-third day in theatres, the film has added a significant sum to its already monumental domestic haul, underlining its status as a major box office success story.
Steady Collections in Week Five
According to data from industry tracker Sacnilk, Dhurandhar collected an estimated ₹2.73 crore in net earnings across India on its fifth Tuesday. This takes the film's total domestic net collection to approximately ₹779.73 crore after 33 days. While daily figures have naturally moderated from the explosive opening weeks, the consistent earnings signal sustained audience interest more than a month after its release on 5 December 2025.
The film's occupancy in the key Hindi belt stood at 10.69% overall for the day. A closer look reveals a pattern typical of films in the later stages of their run: morning shows saw 7.39% occupancy, which saw a healthy jump to 13.99% during afternoon screenings. This indicates stronger traction for later shows, often driven by positive word-of-mouth and repeat viewings.
Global Juggernaut: Where Dhurandhar Stands
On the global stage, Dhurandhar has posted phenomenal numbers. Production banner Jio Studios recently celebrated a major milestone, announcing that the film has crossed ₹1,240 crore in worldwide gross. The studio hailed it as "a month of unprecedented dominance" for the franchise.
This colossal figure firmly plants Dhurandhar among the top-grossing Indian films of all time. Its primary benchmark remains the pan-India blockbuster Pushpa 2: The Rise, which has collected about ₹1,742.1 crore globally. While overtaking Pushpa 2's final tally seems unlikely at this stage, Dhurandhar's achievement is monumental in its own right, especially for a Hindi film.
India remains the biggest contributor to this total, with net collections soaring past the ₹750 crore mark. Overseas markets have also delivered solid returns, despite facing staggered or limited releases in some territories.
Future Prospects and Sequel Buzz
The film's theatrical journey is about to enter a challenging phase. With multiple Pongal and Sankranti releases slated for 9-12 January, particularly in South India, and the wide Hindi release of The Raja Saab in northern markets, Dhurandhar is expected to see a reduction in its screen count.
However, trade analysts suggest the film has enough momentum and audience pull to post meaningful collections for at least another week. Its performance through the fifth week points to robust word-of-mouth support, driven by its large scale, high-octane action sequences, and broad genre appeal.
Having securely crossed the coveted ₹1,200 crore worldwide milestone—a feat achieved by only a handful of Hindi films—Dhurandhar has already cemented its legacy as a modern box office juggernaut. All eyes are now on the already-announced sequel, scheduled for release on 19 March, which carries the hefty expectation of building upon the massive benchmarks set by this first instalment.
