Ranveer Singh's action spectacle Dhurandhar is scripting history at the global box office, poised to secure a place among the top five highest-grossing Indian films of all time. On its 30th day, or fifth Saturday in theatres, the film shows no signs of slowing down, firmly on track to surpass the colossal collections of the Yash-starrer KGF: Chapter 2.
Steady Collections Defy New Releases
Despite entering its fifth week and facing competition from fresh offerings, Dhurandhar held its ground remarkably well. On Saturday, January 3, 2026, the film minted an impressive Rs 11.75 crore in domestic ticket sales. This has propelled its total earnings within India to a staggering Rs 759.5 crore. The Hindi version of the film registered a healthy occupancy rate of 25.06% on the same day.
What makes this performance extraordinary is the film's resilience against new competitors. Recent releases like Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday's Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri (Rs 40 crore in 10 days), the Hollywood sequel Avatar: Ash and Fire (Rs 165.9 crore in 16 days), and Agastya Nanda's Ikkis (Rs 13 crore in 3 days) have failed to dethrone Dhurandhar from its dominant position at the ticket windows.
On The Cusp Of Overtaking KGF: Chapter 2
The film's global journey has been nothing short of phenomenal. Dhurandhar has already raced past the worldwide collections of two other Bollywood mega-blockbusters from superstar Shah Rukh Khan – Jawan (Rs 1,163.62 crore) and Pathaan (Rs 1,069.85 crore). Now, its sights are set on a bigger prize.
KGF: Chapter 2 currently holds the fifth spot with a monumental worldwide collection of approximately Rs 1,215 crore. Industry trackers confirm that Dhurandhar is on the verge of crossing the Rs 1,200 crore mark globally and is expected to overtake the Kannada powerhouse imminently. This achievement will officially place Ranveer Singh's film in the elite all-time blockbuster club, alongside cinematic giants like:
- Aamir Khan's Dangal
- Baahubali 2: The Conclusion
- Allu Arjun's Pushpa 2: The Rule
- and the epic RRR.
The Road Ahead For The Dhurandhar Franchise
Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar boasts a powerful ensemble cast including Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Rakesh Bedi, and Sara Arjun. The film's success is a testament to its massive audience appeal and Ranveer Singh's dedicated performance, for which he reportedly underwent drastic physical transformation, losing and gaining 15 kilograms.
The roaring success has already paved the way for a sequel. Dhurandhar 2 is officially slated for release on March 19, promising to continue the high-octane saga. As the first film continues its record-breaking run, it solidifies Ranveer Singh's position as a box office titan and sets a new benchmark for Hindi cinema in the global arena.
