Ranveer Singh and Akshaye Khanna’s spy thriller, Dhurandhar, has proven to be an undeniable cinematic force, achieving remarkable box office success as of its 17th day in theaters, which fell on December 21, 2025. The film’s robust performance has solidified its position as one of the highest-grossing Indian productions of the year, captivating audiences both domestically and internationally. Its consistent draw, particularly evident in strong weekend figures, underscores its widespread appeal and positive critical reception.
Domestically, Dhurandhar has amassed an impressive collection, reaching ₹579.20 crore by its 17th day. This figure was significantly bolstered by a strong third Sunday, where the film earned ₹40.30 crore, demonstrating its sustained momentum despite being several weeks into its theatrical run. The film’s opening weekend (December 5-7) alone raked in ₹106.50 crore, setting a powerful precedent for its journey. Remarkably, the second weekend surpassed the first in earnings, and the third weekend maintained exceptional performance, adding another ₹99 crore over three days (December 19-21). With a net collection in India standing at ₹555.5 crore, Dhurandhar has firmly established itself in the upper echelons of Indian cinema’s financial triumphs.
The film’s success isn’t limited to the Indian subcontinent. On the global stage, Dhurandhar has emphatically crossed the ₹800 crore mark, with a gross worldwide collection of ₹803 crore. This substantial figure combines its phenomenal domestic performance of ₹634 crore with impressive international earnings. Projections suggest that the film is well on its way to joining the elite ₹900 crore club globally, with overseas collections anticipated to reach between USD 25-30 million. This international acclaim highlights the film’s universal appeal and its ability to resonate with diverse audiences worldwide.
Dhurandhar’s third Sunday at the box office was particularly historic, as it shattered three major records in the annals of Hindi cinema. Most notably, it achieved the highest third Sunday collection ever recorded, surpassing the previously held record by Pushpa 2. This extraordinary performance on a single day, several weeks post-release, speaks volumes about the enduring popularity of the film and the strong word-of-mouth it has generated. It indicates that viewers are not only flocking to see it initially but are also recommending it enthusiastically, contributing to its long and successful run. The compelling storyline, stellar performances by Ranveer Singh and Akshaye Khanna, and high-octane action sequences have all contributed to making Dhurandhar a landmark film of 2025.
