Dhurandhar crosses ₹475 crore; eyes ₹600 crore
The Ranveer Singh-starrer 'Dhurandhar' has achieved a historic box office run, accumulating over ₹475 crore in India within 15 days and surpassing previous records for consecutive ₹20 crore+ nett daily collections. Analysts predict it will become the highest-grossing Indian film of 2025 and is on track to reach ₹600 crore nett by the end of the holiday season. This success highlights a significant shift in Bollywood's box office landscape and demonstrates strong audience engagement despite competition from new releases.
Ranveer Singh's 'Dhurandhar' is shattering box office records, accumulating over ₹475 crore in India within 15 days and setting a new benchmark for sustained performance. This action thriller has not only defied initial mixed reviews but is now poised to become the highest-grossing Indian film of 2025, with projections suggesting it could even become the highest-grossing Indian film overall. Its impressive run signals a significant shift in Bollywood's commercial landscape, demonstrating immense audience engagement and strong word-of-mouth.
The film's journey began with a strong opening of nearly ₹28 crore, quickly building momentum to peak at ₹58 crore on its second Sunday. It achieved an unprecedented feat by collecting over ₹20 crore nett for fourteen consecutive days, a record unmatched by any other Bollywood production. The first week alone garnered ₹207.25 crore, with the second week adding a robust ₹253.25 crore, outperforming previous records set by films like 'Pushpa 2' Hindi collection in its initial week.
Despite the highly anticipated release of 'Avatar: Fire and Ash', 'Dhurandhar' continues its dominant run, holding its ground with solid collections. Occupancy rates remain respectable, with major cities like Bengaluru and Mumbai showing strong audience turnout. Industry analysts now predict the film will comfortably cross the ₹500 crore nett mark in India within its third weekend, placing it in an elite club of Hindi films. The upcoming festive period, encompassing Christmas and New Year, is expected to further fuel its collections.
Given its current trajectory and the absence of major domestic competition, 'Dhurandhar' is firmly on track to achieve a staggering ₹600 crore nett. Its extraordinary performance highlights a growing appetite for compelling narratives and star power, reshaping expectations for box office achievements in Indian cinema.
