Every Record Dhurandhar Has Broken in Its First Month at the Box Office
When Dhurandhar hit theatres on December 5, it opened strong, but what followed exceeded all expectations. Directed by Aditya Dhar, this action spectacle not only recorded a powerful opening but also delivered one of the most dominant and consistent box office runs Hindi cinema has seen in recent years.
The film earned ₹28 crore nett in India on its first Friday, instantly becoming Ranveer Singh’s biggest opening day ever. The momentum only grew over the weekend, culminating in a massive ₹44.80 crore collection on its first Sunday. This marked Ranveer Singh’s highest single-day box office collection to date, surpassing his previous record held by Padmaavat. Additionally, it secured the position of the second-highest first Sunday collection of 2025, just behind Chhaava.
As the collections continued to surge, Dhurandhar crossed ₹240.30 crore domestically, overtaking Simmba to become Ranveer Singh’s highest-grossing film in nearly seven years. It also emerged as the second-highest-grossing film of his entire career, achieving this milestone within a remarkably short span.
For director Aditya Dhar, the film marked significant career milestones. While his earlier blockbuster, Uri: The Surgical Strike, had recorded a best single-day collection of ₹17.17 crore, Dhurandhar more than doubled that figure with its ₹44.80 crore Sunday haul. This made it not only Dhar’s highest-grossing film overall but also his biggest single-day grosser.
What truly set Dhurandhar apart was its extraordinary performance during weekdays. On its first Tuesday, the film collected ₹28.60 crore, becoming the highest first Tuesday grosser of 2025, surpassing other hits like Chhaava and Saiyaara. By the end of its first week, it had already amassed ₹207.25 crore, proving its success was not limited to weekends alone.
The second weekend proved historic. The film collected ₹59 crore on its second Sunday, setting the record for the highest second Sunday ever in Hindi cinema, surpassing Pushpa 2: The Rule. With an impressive ₹140-146 crore nett across its second weekend, Dhurandhar dethroned Pushpa 2 as the biggest second-weekend grosser for any Hindi or Indian film. It also broke Day 10 box office records previously held by Jawan, Stree 2, and Animal.
Milestones continued to come at an unprecedented pace. Dhurandhar became the fastest Hindi film to enter the ₹500 crore nett India club by Day 16. It also set record-breaking worldwide achievements, becoming the fastest film to cross ₹500 crore, ₹600 crore, ₹800 crore, and ultimately ₹1,000 crore globally. By Day 16, it had already surpassed the lifetime India nett collection of Gadar 2, which stood at ₹525 crore.
By Day 26, Dhurandhar entered the ₹700 crore nett India club, a feat unmatched by any other Bollywood film. On Day 30, it crossed ₹800 crore domestically. The film’s international appeal was equally formidable, crossing ₹1,100 crore worldwide within 24 days and eventually reaching ₹1,240 crore globally.
With these staggering numbers, Dhurandhar overtook KGF: Chapter 2 and surpassed Pathaan to emerge as the highest-grossing Hindi film worldwide. It also ranked among the Top 5 most-watched films at the US box office, as reported by Comscore.
Even deep into its theatrical run, the film showed no signs of slowing down. On Day 31, it collected ₹13.50 crore, becoming the highest-grossing Hindi film in its fifth weekend. By then, domestic earnings stood at ₹820.30 crore, with weekly collections reflecting remarkable consistency, including another ₹100-crore-plus performance in its fourth week alone.
Starring Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, R. Madhavan, Sara Arjun, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, Rakesh Bedi, and Soumya Trivedi, and jointly produced by B62 Studios and Jio Studios, Dhurandhar has done more than just break records - it has redefined the scale and sustainability of box office success in Hindi cinema.
