Dhurandhar Maintains Strong Box Office Momentum on Day 46
Ranveer Singh's action-packed thriller Dhurandhar continues to impress audiences even after forty-six days in theaters. The film added another ₹0.82 crore to its domestic earnings on Monday, January 19, 2026. This steady performance demonstrates the movie's lasting appeal well into its seventh week of release.
Domestic Collection Figures Show Consistent Success
According to the latest box office data, Dhurandhar has now reached an impressive India net total of approximately ₹825.92 crore. Some industry reports suggest the figure might be slightly higher, around ₹825.10 crore. The film's weekday collections remain solid, following strong weekend numbers that included:
- ₹3 crore on the seventh Saturday (Day 44)
- ₹3.75 crore on the seventh Sunday (Day 45)
This consistent performance has made Dhurandhar one of the most successful Indian films in recent years. The movie has achieved a significant milestone by surpassing the domestic net collections of Pushpa 2: The Rule. Industry trackers confirm that Dhurandhar crossed approximately ₹831.4 crore net domestically in early January 2026, overtaking Pushpa 2's Hindi net lifetime figure of about ₹830.1 crore.
Global Box Office Performance Equally Impressive
The film's success extends far beyond India's borders. Worldwide box office totals vary slightly between tracking sources, but all indicate a remarkable global run. According to Bollywood Hungama, the film's worldwide gross stands at nearly ₹1,322 crore. Another estimate by Sacnilk places the figure around ₹1,279 crore.
By late December 2025, Dhurandhar had already entered the exclusive ₹1,000 crore worldwide club. This achievement is particularly notable given the film faced competition from other releases and external challenges. Some Middle Eastern markets imposed bans on the film, reportedly costing the production significant potential revenue.
