The Aditya Dhar-directed spy thriller Dhurandhar, featuring Akshaye Khanna in the lead, has completed a monumental 25-day run in Indian cinemas. The film's financial performance continues to defy expectations, cementing its place among the all-time greats in Bollywood history.
A Record-Shattering Journey at the Box Office
The film embarked on its record-breaking journey with a spectacular opening day, raking in ₹28 crore. It demonstrated remarkable steadiness over its first weekend, with Day 3 emerging as the best early performer by collecting ₹43 crore. This powerful start propelled the movie to a formidable first-week total of ₹207.25 crore.
Defying the usual trend of decline, Dhurandhar grew even stronger in its second week. It witnessed impressive gains, particularly over the second weekend, amassing a staggering ₹253.25 crore. This figure represented a jump of over 22% from the first week, firmly establishing the film among the elite releases of 2025.
While the third week saw a natural slowdown with fluctuations on weekdays, the film's resilience was evident as weekends brought recovery. Week 3 closed with a still-robust ₹172 crore, a testament to its sustained audience pull.
Crossing Milestones and Toppling Giants
As the film entered its fourth week, collections softened but remained significant. It added ₹15 crore, ₹20.5 crore, and ₹22.5 crore over the fourth weekend. On its 25th day, the film earned an estimated ₹10.5 crore, pushing its final India net collection after 25 days to a colossal ₹701 crore.
This mammoth total has catapulted Dhurandhar to the number 2 position on the all-time India net box office charts. It now sits behind only Pushpa 2: The Rule, which leads with ₹812.14 crore.
On the global stage, the film's worldwide gross has reached an astonishing ₹1,078 crore. While it is yet to overtake Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan (₹1,160 crore), it has successfully surpassed another SRK blockbuster, Pathaan (₹1,055 crore). Ranveer Singh's spy thriller has also left behind other recent mega-hits including Kalki 2898 AD (₹1042.25 crore), Animal (₹915 crore), Stree 2 (₹857.15 crore), and Chhaava (₹807.91 crore).
Outshining Contemporary Releases
The storm created by Dhurandhar has significantly overshadowed other releases. Its Day 25 collection of ₹10.5 crore was higher than the opening day figures of the romantic comedy Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri, starring Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday, which collected ₹7.75 crore on its first day.
The Kapil Sharma-starrer Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 also felt the impact, managing a total of approximately ₹11.9 crore after 11 days, which is only slightly better than what Dhurandhar earned on its 25th day alone.
In a notable shift on the daily charts, while Dhurandhar held the record for the highest Day 24 collection in Bollywood history with ₹22.25 crore, it slipped to third place on Day 25 with ₹10.75 crore. Pushpa 2 led Day 25 with ₹12.25 crore, followed by Stree 2 at ₹11 crore.
