Dhurandhar Achieves Massive Box Office Milestone After 40 Days
Ranveer Singh's latest film Dhurandhar continues its spectacular run at the box office. The period spy thriller has now completed forty days in theaters, amassing an impressive Rs 1263 crore in worldwide collections. This remarkable figure places the film as the fourth highest grossing Indian film of all time on the global stage.
Domestic Performance Remains Strong
In the Indian market, Dhurandhar shows no signs of slowing down. On its fortieth day, the film added approximately Rs 2.50 crore to its domestic total. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, this brings the film's cumulative earnings in India to around Rs 860.60 crore after forty days.
The film is steadily approaching the unprecedented Rs 900 crore club for domestic collections. No Indian film has ever achieved this milestone within the country's borders. Even on its fortieth day, Dhurandhar outperformed newer Hindi releases playing in theaters.
- Ikkis earned only Rs 40 lakh on its thirteenth day
- The Hindi version of The Raja Saab collected Rs 1.50 crore on its fifth day
- Kartik Aaryan's Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri has already exited theaters after earning just Rs 33 crore
Global Rankings and Comparisons
Dhurandhar's worldwide total of Rs 1262.50 crore has allowed it to surpass two major blockbusters. The film has now overtaken both KGF: Chapter 2 (Rs 1215 crore) and RRR (Rs 1230 crore) in global earnings.
However, the film still faces significant gaps before reaching higher positions on the all-time list:
- Pushpa 2: The Rule holds the third position with Rs 1742.10 crore
- Baahubali 2: The Conclusion occupies second place with Rs 1788.06 crore
- Dangal remains at the top with Rs 2070.30 crore globally
It's worth noting that Dangal's exceptional performance relied heavily on Chinese box office revenue. Without including China collections, Dhurandhar has already become the highest grossing Hindi film worldwide and the top non-sequel Indian film globally.
Ticket Sales Performance
Beyond financial figures, Dhurandhar has demonstrated remarkable popularity through ticket sales. The film has sold approximately 13.63 million tickets in India so far. This places it among the top five Indian films with the highest ticket sales ever recorded.
The current ranking for maximum ticket sales in India includes:
- Pushpa 2 – 20.41 million tickets
- KGF Chapter 2 – 17.1 million tickets
- Baahubali 2 – 16 million tickets
- Kantara Chapter 1 – 14.1 million tickets
- Dhurandhar – 13.63 million tickets
Dhurandhar is likely to surpass Kantara Chapter 1's ticket sales record soon. Whether it can eventually overtake Baahubali 2 and KGF Chapter 2 remains to be seen as the film continues its theatrical run.
Upcoming Competition and Future Prospects
The film faces some minor competition from new releases this Friday. Happy Patel: Khataranak Jasoos and Rahu Ketu will enter theaters, though neither is expected to significantly impact Dhurandhar's performance.
A more substantial challenge arrives next week with Border 2, scheduled for release on January 23. The period war drama features Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, and Diljit Dosanjh, and its Republic Day release timing could affect Dhurandhar's screen count.
Despite upcoming competition, Dhurandhar's forty-day performance has already secured its place in Indian cinema history. The film continues to draw audiences and break records, demonstrating the enduring appeal of well-crafted period thrillers with strong performances.
