Mumbai, Dec 26: Aditya Dhar’s spy-thriller Dhurandhar continues its sensational run at the box office, emerging as one of the biggest successes in the history of Hindi cinema. Driven by strong word-of-mouth and sustained audience interest, the film has crossed the ₹1,000 crore mark worldwide within just 21 days of its release.
According to figures shared by the film’s team at a press conference, Dhurandhar has earned ₹668.80 crore nett at the domestic box office, while its global collection stands at ₹1,006.7 crore. With this achievement, the Ranbir Singh-starrer has surpassed Rishab Shetty’s Kantara: Chapter 1, which had collected ₹850 crore worldwide earlier this year, to become the highest-grossing Indian film of 2025 so far.
Despite completing three weeks in theatres, audience turnout remains strong. The film continues to witness packed cinema halls, particularly during its third week. Notably, Dhurandhar managed to collect around ₹26 crore nett in India on its 21st day alone, a performance that has surprised trade analysts and film critics alike. The film had opened with a robust ₹28.6 crore on its first day.
As per Jio Studios, the film’s India box office performance over 21 days is as follows:
Dhurandhar has now become the highest-grossing Hindi film of 2025. After Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava, it is only the second Hindi film this year to dominate not just the box office but also public discourse. Chhaava, released earlier in the year, had drawn widespread attention for its emotional impact and record-breaking collections.
With Dhurandhar closing the year on a high note, trade experts believe the film has helped restore confidence in Bollywood’s box office potential. Together with Chhaava, it has reignited optimism about the revival of Hindi cinema, putting to rest long-standing concerns over content quality and commercial performance.
