Ranveer Singh's spy-thriller Dhurandhar continues its unstoppable run at the box office, crossing the Rs 1300 crore milestone globally on its 41st day. The film, directed by Aditya Dhar, shows no signs of slowing down as it nears the end of its six-week theatrical journey.
Day 41 Earnings and Record-Breaking Performance
On Wednesday, January 15, 2026, Dhurandhar earned an impressive Rs 3.4 crore in India, according to industry tracker Sacnilk. This figure marks a significant jump from earlier weekdays, where it collected Rs 2.35 crore on Monday and Rs 2.6 crore on Tuesday. The growth is attributed to the Sakranthi holiday, boosting audience turnout.
Dhurandhar's day 41 collections have smashed records set by other major films. It outperformed Pushpa 2: The Rise, which earned Rs 1.55 crore on its 41st day, and Chhaava, which made Rs 1.3 crore. In fact, Dhurandhar's earnings are nearly double those of these competitors, showcasing its dominant hold over the market.
Domestic and Worldwide Figures
As per Jio Studios, the domestic net collections for Dhurandhar now stand at Rs 866.4 crore. The worldwide box office has surged past Rs 1300 crore, cementing its position as a blockbuster. This achievement places Dhurandhar as the highest-grossing Indian film domestically and the fourth highest-grosser worldwide among Indian productions.
The film has already broken historic records, surpassing KGF: Chapter 2 (Rs 1215 crore) and RRR (Rs 1230 crore). However, it still trails behind Pushpa 2: The Rule (Rs 1742.10 crore) and Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (Rs 1788.06 crore) in the global rankings.
Theatre Occupancy and Regional Performance
On day 41, Dhurandhar recorded an overall theatre occupancy of 16.49%. The breakdown shows morning shows at 7.63%, afternoon shows at 17.81%, evening shows at 18.45%, and night shows at 22.07%. Regional data highlights Delhi NCR with 719 shows and 9.50% occupancy, while Mumbai had 349 shows with 17.25% occupancy.
Competition and Future Prospects
Despite fresh releases like Prabhas' The Raja Saab, Chiranjeevi's Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, and Vir Das' Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos, Dhurandhar remains unaffected. It continues to give tough competition to new theatrical entries each week.
All eyes are now on the upcoming release of Border 2, starring Sunny Deol and Varun Dhawan, set for January 23. It will be interesting to see if this film can challenge Dhurandhar's box office dominance.
Cast, Crew, and Sequel Announcement
Dhurandhar features a stellar cast including Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Rakesh Bedi, and Sara Arjun in pivotal roles alongside Ranveer Singh. Helmed by Aditya Dhar and jointly produced by Jio Studios and B62 Studios, the film's success has led to the announcement of a sequel.
Dhurandhar 2 is scheduled to release on March 19 this year, where it will clash with Yash's highly-anticipated film Toxic. This move signals the makers' confidence in the franchise's continued appeal.
In related news, mentor Priyadarshan recently revealed that other directors stole Aditya Dhar's research for the film, though he never received due credit, calling Dhar one of his best disciples. This backstory adds to the intrigue surrounding Dhurandhar's meticulous production.
