Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar eyes ₹1,000 crore global collection in historic run
Ranveer Singh's 'Dhurandhar' has already grossed over ₹876 crore globally, with domestic collections crossing ₹600 crore. This remarkable performance positions it to potentially surpass Ranbir Kapoor's 'Animal' and become the first Ranveer Singh film to hit the ₹1,000 crore milestone, indicating a significant shift in audience preferences and Bollywood box office power.
Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar is making cinematic history, rapidly closing in on the ₹1,000 crore global box office milestone, a first for the star. The action-packed spy thriller has already recorded a staggering worldwide gross of nearly ₹877 crore, demonstrating an extraordinary run that is captivating audiences across the globe. Domestically, the film has crossed the ₹600 crore mark, a testament to its widespread appeal and strong word-of-mouth.
The film's performance in India has been nothing short of phenomenal, with advance bookings for its third Wednesday alone crossing 2.18 lakh tickets and generating over ₹6.1 crore in pre-sales. This signals significant audience enthusiasm, with analysts predicting a third Wednesday net collection of around ₹22-23 crore, potentially making it the biggest third Wednesday in Indian box office history. Major cinema chains like PVR Inox and Cinepolis have contributed significantly to these numbers, highlighting the film's broad reach.
Dhurandhar began its journey with a strong opening weekend of ₹103 crore and has maintained consistent momentum, fueled by compelling storytelling and Ranveer Singh's impactful performance. Despite being in its third week, the film continues to draw large crowds, with daily collections exceeding ₹15 crore and occupancy rates reaching over 35% in Hindi markets. This sustained success positions it to potentially surpass Ranbir Kapoor's Animal's global gross of ₹915 crore and even challenge Salman Khan's Bajrangi Bhaijaan, solidifying its place among Bollywood's biggest hits.
Internationally, Dhurandhar has already cemented its success, becoming the first Indian film of 2025 to exceed ₹200 crore in overseas gross, with strong showings in North America, the UK, Australia, and Europe. With few major releases scheduled in the immediate future, the film is poised to continue its dominance. The upcoming festive season is expected to further boost its collections, making the ₹1,000 crore global benchmark a distinct possibility and marking a significant shift in Bollywood's box office power.
