Dhurandhar’s Box Office Success: Ranveer Singh Starrer Rewrites Hindi Cinema Records

 

 

Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar, starring Ranveer Singh and Akshaye Khanna, has emerged as one of the biggest box office success stories in Indian cinema, continuing its remarkable theatrical run well into its seventh week. Released on December 5, the film has not only sustained audience interest but has also rewritten multiple box office benchmarks, particularly for single-language Hindi releases.

 

After a historic opening week collection of ₹207.25 crore, Dhurandhar witnessed an even stronger performance in its second week, amassing a staggering ₹253.25 crore. While collections naturally dipped in the following weeks, the film maintained impressive momentum, earning ₹172 crore in week three, followed by ₹106.5 crore in week four. 

 

Even in weeks five and six, when most films faded out, Dhurandhar managed respectable figures of ₹51.25 crore and ₹26.35 crore respectively.

 

What has surprised trade analysts is the film’s resilience in week seven. 

 

Despite beginning the week with its lowest single-day collection, early estimates indicate a strong Saturday surge, pushing the week-seven total to approximately ₹4.75 crore in just two days. This places Dhurandhar among the top three highest seventh-week collections in Hindi cinema history, behind only Stree 2 and Chhaava.

 

Domestically, the film’s net collection now stands at an estimated ₹821.35 crore, making it the highest-earning Hindi-only release ever. Its all-India gross has climbed to around ₹985 crore, bringing it within touching distance of the coveted ₹1,000 crore milestone. This achievement positions *Dhurandhar* alongside cinematic giants like KGF: Chapter 2, Baahubali 2, and Pushpa 2 in the list of India’s highest-grossing films.

 

Internationally, the film has performed exceptionally well, particularly in North America and other overseas markets, contributing approximately ₹293 crore. With this, Dhurandhar’s worldwide box office total has reached an estimated ₹1,278.8 crore, further cementing its blockbuster status.

 

Despite competition from newer releases and multilingual films, Dhurandhar has held its ground, often outperforming fresh titles at the box office. The sustained success has also amplified anticipation for Dhurandhar Part 2, officially slated for a March 19 release, as confirmed by director Aditya Dhar.

 

With its blend of strong storytelling, mass appeal, and repeat value, Dhurandhar stands as a defining theatrical phenomenon of modern Bollywood, setting new standards for box office longevity and scale.
