Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar Rewrites Box Office History, Inches Closer to ₹1,000 Crore Club

Ranveer Singh ’s Dhurandhar is rewriting box office history with effortless confidence. Directed by Aditya Dhar , the film has crossed Rs 900 crore worldwide in just 19 days, becoming the first Indian release of 2025 to achieve this milestone. What makes the achievement even more impressive is the film’s rock-solid hold well into its third week.

After a minor dip on its third Monday, Dhurandhar quickly regained momentum. On Day 19 (Tuesday), the film collected Rs 17.25 crore net in India, pushing its total domestic net to Rs 589.50 crore. The India gross now stands strong at Rs 707.25 crore, reflecting sustained audience interest across centres.

Overseas markets continue to fuel the fire. With North America and the Middle East leading the charge, the film has earned USD 22 million internationally. This takes its worldwide gross to approximately Rs 905 crore and counting.

At this pace, Dhurandhar is all set to storm into the top 10 highest-grossing Indian films of all time. On Wednesday, it is expected to overtake global totals of Secret Superstar, Animal, and Bajrangi Bhaijaan. The Rs 1,000 crore worldwide mark now looks less like a target and more like an inevitability.

The Aditya Dhar directorial has already surpassed the lifetime global collection of Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava, which ended its run at Rs 807.91 crore. Audience pull remains strong too, on Sunday, the film recorded an impressive overall occupancy of 61.89% across 5,332 shows.

If Dhurandhar crosses Rs 1,000 crore, it will mark a first in Ranveer Singh’s 15-year career. Even his iconic hits Bajirao Mastani and Padmaavat had wrapped up at around Rs 357 crore and Rs 585 crore respectively, making this run truly career-defining.

The film’s smooth run was further aided when Ikkis, starring Agastya Nanda and directed by Sriram Raghavan, postponed its release to January 1. While Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri may offer some competition, Dhurandhar continues to dominate with ease.

Set in Pakistan, the film follows an Indian spy infiltrating the dangerous Lyari gangs in the early 2000s. Inspired by true events, Dhurandhar boasts a powerful ensemble cast including Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, R Madhavan, Sara Arjun and Rakesh Bedi. With gripping storytelling and unwavering box office strength, Dhurandhar is proving to be one of the strongest theatrical performers of the year.
