Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar continues its extraordinary run at the box office, creating history by crossing the coveted ₹1,000 crore mark worldwide in just 21 days. Directed by Aditya Dhar, the high-octane action drama has now emerged as the highest-grossing Indian film of 2025, firmly establishing itself as one of the biggest blockbusters in recent years.
Released in theatres on December 5, Dhurandhar opened to massive audience interest across India and international markets. Strong advance bookings, packed theatres during its opening weekend, and overwhelmingly positive word of mouth helped the film maintain a steady momentum throughout its theatrical run. According to figures shared by the makers, the film’s total worldwide gross currently stands at ₹1,006.7 crore, officially placing it among the elite ₹1,000 crore club of Indian cinema.
Dhurandhar Box Office Collection: Breaking Down the Numbers
The Dhurandhar box office collection has been impressive across all phases of its run, both domestically and overseas. In India, the film has delivered exceptional results, collecting over ₹650 crore net within its first 21 days — a milestone achieved by only a select few Indian films.
The Ranveer Singh starrer had a powerful opening week, earning ₹218 crore in its first seven days. Instead of slowing down, the film gained even more traction in its second week, adding ₹261.50 crore to its tally. The third week continued to show remarkable consistency, with Dhurandhar collecting ₹160.70 crore between days 15 and 20.
On Day 21, which coincided with the Christmas holiday, the film recorded an impressive ₹28.60 crore, according to studio estimates. With these figures, the film’s total net domestic collection stands at approximately ₹668.80 crore, and it is now inching closer to the ₹700 crore mark in India — a rare achievement in the history of Indian box office.
Record-Breaking Performance in 2025
In terms of overall performance, Dhurandhar has surpassed other major releases of 2025, including Kantara Chapter 1 and Chhaava. While Chhaava reportedly earned around ₹807.91 crore worldwide and Kantara Chapter 1 collected approximately ₹852 crore globally, Dhurandhar crossed the ₹1,000 crore milestone in significantly less time.
The film has also secured a place among the top ten highest-grossing Indian films based on domestic net collections, overtaking Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal to claim the ninth position on the all-time list. Trade analysts credit the film’s sustained run to its wide appeal across mass and urban audiences, along with strong performance in overseas territories.
Star Power and Audience Response
Headlined by Ranveer Singh in one of his most intense performances to date, Dhurandhar boasts a formidable ensemble cast including Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, R. Madhavan, Sara Arjun, and Rakesh Bedi. Each actor has received praise for delivering impactful performances that add depth and weight to the film’s narrative.
Audiences and critics alike have appreciated the film’s gripping storyline, stylised action sequences, and emotionally charged moments. Social media buzz and repeat viewings have further contributed to the film’s sustained box-office success. Director Aditya Dhar, known for his ability to blend scale with substance, has once again delivered a film that resonated strongly with viewers across regions.
Sequel Officially Announced
Adding to the excitement surrounding the film’s success, the makers have officially announced a sequel to Dhurandhar. The confirmation came through a post-credit scene, leaving audiences eager for the next chapter. The sequel is scheduled to release on March 19, 2026, and will feature a pan-India theatrical release in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam.
A Record-Breaking Finish
With its historic box-office run and entry into the prestigious ₹1,000 crore club, Dhurandhar has redefined benchmarks for Indian cinema in 2025. As the film continues its strong theatrical journey, Ranveer Singh’s blockbuster shows no signs of slowing down and is well positioned to set even bigger records in the days ahead, cementing its place as one of the most successful Indian films of all time.
