Aditya Dhar's high-octane spy thriller 'Dhurandhar' is concluding the year 2025 on an extraordinarily high note. The film, featuring Ranveer Singh and Akshaye Khanna in pivotal roles, has demonstrated remarkable stamina at the ticket counters, completing a successful 26-day run. Its collections witnessed a welcome surge during the New Year's Eve festivities, reinforcing its blockbuster status.
Sustained Momentum in Fourth Week
As 'Dhurandhar' approaches the end of its fourth week in theatres, it continues to shatter long-standing box office records. On its twenty-sixth day, which was a Tuesday, the film registered a marginal increase in its earnings. Early estimates peg the net collection for the day at an impressive Rs 11.25 crore across India. This marks a slight uptick from its fourth Monday collection of Rs 10.50 crore.
This consistent performance has propelled the film's total domestic net collection to a staggering Rs 712.25 crore in under a month. The audience occupancy data for Monday reflected a healthy pattern, with an overall Hindi occupancy of 23.31%. The day began slowly with morning shows seeing about 13.18% occupancy, but footfalls peaked during the evening shows, recording a strong 27.64%.
Week-by-Week Breakdown and Global Domination
The film's box office journey has been a case study in sustained success. It opened with a massive first-week net collection of approximately Rs 207.25 crore. Defying the usual trend, it grew even stronger in its second week, registering its highest weekly haul of Rs 253.25 crore. While the third week saw a dip to an estimated Rs 172 crore, the fourth week is holding strong with a current total of around Rs 79.75 crore. With the New Year holiday period, the film is expected to easily cross the Rs 100 crore mark for the fourth consecutive week.
In terms of gross collections, 'Dhurandhar' has already cemented its place as the biggest Bollywood grosser of all time. Its total gross collections have hit a monumental Rs 854.75 crore domestically. The film's appeal isn't limited to Indian shores; its overseas business has been equally spectacular, adding Rs 240.75 crore to the kitty.
The Final Frontier: Chasing History
The combined worldwide cumulative total now stands at an estimated Rs 1095.5 crore, tantalizingly close to breaching the Rs 1100 crore mark. In fact, as per the film's production house, the worldwide total reportedly shot past the Rs 1100 crore milestone on Monday itself, with a net total reaching Rs 741.90 crore.
All eyes are now on the ultimate prize. 'Dhurandhar' is inching closer to the lifetime collection record of Shah Rukh Khan's 'Jawan', which stands at Rs 1160 crore. If it maintains its current pace, it is poised to become the highest-earning Bollywood film in history by the end of its theatrical run. It has already surpassed other major blockbusters like Prabhas's 'Kalki 2898 AD' (Rs 1040 crore) and SRK's 'Pathaan' (Rs 1055 crore).
Directed by Aditya Dhar of 'Uri: The Surgical Strike' fame, 'Dhurandhar' has proven to be a cinematic juggernaut, blending critical acclaim with unprecedented commercial success. Its performance sets a new benchmark for the Indian film industry as it heads into 2026.
