Dhurandhar crosses ₹516 crore domestically, Ranveer Singh's fastest blockbuster film

Ranveer Singh's spy thriller, "Dhurandhar," has achieved a remarkable feat at the Indian box office, amassing over ₹516 crore net domestically within just 16 days. This impressive performance positions it as the second-fastest Hindi film to cross the ₹500 crore mark, a testament to its widespread appeal and strong word-of-mouth. The film's success is even more significant as it has thrived despite stiff competition from the Hollywood release, "Avatar: Fire and Ash."

On its third Saturday alone, "Dhurandhar" raked in nearly ₹33.5 crore, demonstrating sustained audience interest. This propelled its total India nett collection beyond the ₹500 crore milestone, making it the fastest Hindi film ever to achieve this, surpassing previous records held by films like "Jawan." The film has not only become Ranveer Singh's highest-grossing movie but is also rapidly approaching the ₹1000 crore mark in worldwide collections.

Globally, "Dhurandhar" has already collected over $18 million (approximately ₹160 crore), contributing to a staggering worldwide gross that exceeds ₹940 crore. Analysts predict the film could soon surpass major blockbusters and potentially become one of the highest-grossing Indian films of 2025. Its sustained momentum, even with new releases, highlights a strong connection with audiences across the country.

The film's success underscores the growing power of well-produced Indian cinematic storytelling to captivate audiences and generate massive box office numbers. Its ability to outperform competing releases speaks volumes about the audience's preference for engaging narratives and strong performances, solidifying its place as a major cultural and financial force in the Indian entertainment landscape.
