Dhurandhar Box Office Collection Day 42: Ranveer Singh Film Creates History
Ranveer Singh's action-packed film Dhurandhar has entered its 42nd day in theaters with unstoppable momentum. The movie continues to break records and rewrite box office history, proving its massive popularity across India and overseas.
Historic Milestone Achieved
On its 42nd day, Dhurandhar achieved a significant milestone by surpassing the lifetime India collection of the blockbuster KGF: Chapter 2. With this achievement, Dhurandhar has officially become the third highest-grossing film in Indian cinema history, trailing only behind Pushpa 2 and Baahubali 2.
The film's domestic net collection now stands at approximately Rs 866.40 crore after 42 days. On its latest day, Dhurandhar added another Rs 3 crore to its impressive tally. Industry experts predict the film will comfortably cross the Rs 900 crore milestone in India within the coming days, especially with no major releases scheduled until January 23.
Unstoppable Box Office Performance
What makes Dhurandhar's success truly remarkable is its consistency. Despite entering its seventh week in theaters, the film continues to attract strong audiences. Current occupancy rates hover around 18%, with the movie still running in approximately 2,289 shows across the country.
This show count is particularly impressive when compared to newer releases. For instance, Karan Johar's Tu Meri Main Tera, which starred Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday, received a similar number of shows on its opening day but couldn't sustain audience interest. That film wrapped up its theatrical run in about 15 days, with shows dropping to as low as 500 by Day 15.
Multiple Records Shattered
Dhurandhar's box office journey has been nothing short of spectacular. The film has broken multiple records during its historic run:
- Highest-grossing Indian film of 2025: The film surpassed Kaantara Chapter 1 within just 18 days of release.
- Highest-grossing A-rated Indian film: Dhurandhar overtook Ranbir Kapoor's Animal to claim this title on its 20th day.
- Highest-grossing Hindi film in India: The movie surpassed collections of Stree, Chhaava, and Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan.
- Highest-grossing Indian film in the US: With $21 million gross earnings, Dhurandhar beat Baahubali 2's North American record.
Global Standing and Future Prospects
Worldwide, Dhurandhar has crossed the Rs 1,300 crore mark, making it the fourth highest-grossing Indian film globally. The film now sits behind Dangal, Baahubali 2, and Pushpa 2 in the all-time rankings. Interestingly, Dhurandhar is just Rs 400 crore away from overtaking Pushpa 2's lifetime collection.
The film's performance becomes even more impressive considering it faced a ban in Gulf countries, which reportedly resulted in a potential loss of Rs 100-150 crore in earnings. Despite this setback, Dhurandhar has maintained exceptional box office stability.
Competition and Market Dynamics
Dhurandhar has successfully weathered competition from multiple releases. The film remained unaffected by Ikkis, which earned only Rs 50 lakh on its third Thursday with low occupancy of 13.11%. Major Sankranti releases like The Raja Saab, Parasakthi, and Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu also failed to dent Dhurandhar's business.
All eyes are now on the upcoming release of Sunny Deol's Border 2, scheduled for January 23. This will be the next major test for Dhurandhar's box office endurance. Until then, the Ranveer Singh starrer continues its record-breaking journey, re-establishing the actor's box office dominance and creating new benchmarks for Indian cinema.
The film has not only boosted Ranveer Singh's career but also brought renewed attention to co-star Akshaye Khanna. As trade analysts monitor daily collections, Dhurandhar's unprecedented run shows no signs of slowing down, making it one of the most successful films in recent Bollywood history.
