Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar continues its extraordinary march at the box office, rewriting records even after 29 days in theatres. After opening on a solid note, the film truly found its momentum from the first Monday onward and has shown no signs of slowing down since. By Sunday, it is expected to cross ₹1200 crore in worldwide gross collections and go past ₹750 crore at the Indian box office. With these numbers, the film has firmly placed itself among the biggest Indian releases of all time.
The Aditya Dhar directorial has already shattered a long list of records during its run. While it is impossible to cover all of them at once, here are some of the most remarkable milestones Dhurandhar has achieved.
Highest grossing Hindi film worldwide
Dhurandhar was released exclusively in Hindi, a bold move in an era dominated by pan-India releases. As a result, its entire ₹1167 crore haul has come solely from the original Hindi version. This makes it the highest grossing Hindi film globally, surpassing the ₹1080 crore earned by Jawan in Hindi and the ₹1087 crore collected by the Hindi version of Pushpa 2. No other Hindi film has managed to cross the ₹1000 crore mark worldwide until now.
First Indian film to earn ₹100 crore in its fourth week
The film did not begin with a massive ₹40 crore plus opening day and only just crossed ₹100 crore over its opening weekend. However, strong word of mouth helped it grow steadily. What truly set Dhurandhar apart was its exceptional hold over time, as new releases failed to dent its run. Even in its fourth week, the film earned an astonishing ₹103 crore net in India. The previous best for a fourth week stood at ₹69 crore, achieved by Pushpa 2 across five languages.
First Bollywood film to cross ₹700 crore in India
As of January 2, Dhurandhar has collected ₹747 crore net domestically, setting a new benchmark for Bollywood. No Hindi film had ever crossed ₹700 crore in India before this. The film comfortably broke the previous record held by Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan, which earned ₹640 crore net in 2023. Chhaava remains the only other Bollywood film to even approach the ₹600 crore mark.
Twenty eight consecutive days of double digit earnings
Earning more than ₹10 crore net in a single day is considered a strong performance for any film. Most big releases sustain this for around two weeks. Jawan managed 13 such days, while Chhaava extended the run to 18 days. Even large pan India films benefit from multiple language earnings, with Baahubali 2 recording 24 double digit days. Dhurandhar, however, went a step further with an unprecedented streak of 28 straight days earning over ₹10 crore in India. The run finally ended on Friday when collections dipped to ₹8.75 crore.
Top Bollywood film on BookMyShow
In its fourth week, Dhurandhar also emerged as the highest selling Bollywood film on BookMyShow. The film has sold 1.3 crore tickets on the platform, overtaking Chhaava at 1.25 crore and Jawan at 1.24 crore. The overall Indian record still belongs to Pushpa 2, which sold 2 crore tickets.
Ashish Saksena, Chief Operating Officer for cinemas at BookMyShow, said the film has cemented its status as a historic theatrical achievement. He noted that Dhurandhar has crossed 13 million ticket sales on the platform, making it the highest selling Hindi film there. He also highlighted the film’s strong and consistent demand across major markets such as Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Pune, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Lucknow, Nagpur and Chandigarh, underlining its nationwide appeal.
