Dhurandhar Box Office Collection: Ranveer Singh’s high-octane spy action thriller, directed by Aditya Dhar and released on December 5, 2025 (with strong pan-India appeal including dubbed versions in multiple languages), has concluded its epic theatrical run as one of the biggest blockbusters in recent Indian cinema history. Featuring Ranveer Singh in a commanding lead role alongside Akshaye Khanna and others, the film benefited from massive hype, excellent word-of-mouth for its action sequences, patriotism themes, and sustained legs over months. It shattered several records, becoming one of the highest-grossing Hindi films ever, entering elite ₹1000 Cr+ India gross club (a milestone for single-language origin films), and dominating the 2025-2026 box office landscape. At the worldwide box office, Dhurandhar has amassed approximately Rs 1290-1339 Cr gross (final figures as of late January 2026, around Day 50-52+; negligible additions post-8th week amid competition from Border 2 and others).
Total Worldwide Collections
- Worldwide Gross: Rs 1290-1339 Cr (sources vary: Sacnilk ~Rs 1294 Cr, Koimoi ~Rs 1339 Cr, Bollywood Hungama ~Rs 1333 Cr; converged around Rs 1300+ Cr mark).
- India Gross: Rs 999-1048 Cr (approx., after taxes; crossed ₹1000 Cr India gross milestone, historic for Hindi films).
- Overseas Gross: Rs 286-294 Cr (strong international run, especially in North America, Gulf, and Europe; contributed significantly to global totals).
India Net Total (Lifetime): Rs 833-889 Cr (Hindi dominant, with good dubbed support in Telugu, Tamil, etc., though initial Telugu dubbed release was limited; strong pan-India hold).
The film recovered its reported budget (estimated Rs 225-300 Cr range, including prints and publicity) multiple times over, delivering massive profits through theatricals alone. OTT (Netflix rights) and satellite further boosted earnings, with sequel buzz (Dhurandhar 2 planned for 2026, including Telugu/Tamil simultaneous release) already building.
Area-wise / Region-wise Collections (India Focus, Approx. Lifetime Shares / Contribution) The film showed exceptional nationwide appeal, with balanced performance across regions due to action-packed content and patriotic elements.
- North India / Hindi Heartland (Delhi-UP-Mumbai circuits etc.): Major share (~50-60%+ of India total, driving high net figures). Hindi version dominated multiplexes and single-screens.
- South India (Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam dubbed): Solid contribution (Telugu dubbed had limited initial release but performed well; helped push pan-India totals).
- East / West / Central India: Strong hold in ROI (Rest of India) markets.
- Overseas: Rs 286-294 Cr Gross (excellent performance; one of the best for Hindi action films post-pandemic).

Verdict and Analysis Verdict: All-Time Blockbuster / Historic Success (one of the biggest Hindi/Indian films ever; 4th highest-grossing in some lists, potential to climb with final revisions). Exceptional legs (multiplier 25-30x+ opening day in phases), sustained momentum over 50+ days, and pan-India + overseas appeal highlight the film’s strengths.
Positive: Ranveer Singh’s career-best performance; Aditya Dhar’s direction; action + patriotism blend resonated widely; set benchmarks overtaking several biggies (e.g., Pushpa 2 in some metrics). Negative: Minor early mixed reviews in some quarters; competition from sequels/new releases (e.g., Border 2 caused late drops); Gulf ban in some reports (though not confirmed across all). Comparisons: Among top Hindi grossers (competing with Jawan, Pathaan era); better longevity than many star vehicles; sequel anticipation high. Implications: Reinforces big-budget action-spy thrillers’ viability; boosts confidence for pan-India Hindi films with dubbed versions; sets high bar for 2026 releases (including Dhurandhar 2 with Telugu simultaneous rollout); proves content + star power + marketing can deliver long runs even in crowded markets.
