A rare box office run that just won’t fade out
Forty days after its theatrical release, Dhurandhar continues to surprise the trade. At a stage where most films quietly exit cinemas, the Ranveer Singh–Akshaye Khanna-led spy thriller is still making headlines — not for holding on, but for creating new box office records deep into its sixth week.
Directed by Aditya Dhar, the film has now officially secured the highest sixth-week collections for any Hindi film, reinforcing its position as the most dominant theatrical performer Bollywood has ever seen.
Day 40 numbers: steady growth even in week six
According to industry estimates from Sacnilk, Dhurandhar showed a slight upward trend on Day 40, collecting around ₹2.5 crore (India net) on Tuesday. This marked a marginal jump from Monday’s ₹2.35 crore — a rare sight for a film this late into its run.
What’s even more striking is how the film has navigated its sixth week:
- Sixth Friday: ~₹3.5 crore
- Saturday: ~₹5.75 crore
- Sunday: ~₹6.15 crore
Despite no longer posting double-digit daily figures, the film’s weekend recoveries have kept its momentum intact, proving that audience interest hasn’t fully cooled off yet.
Week 6 total: a new benchmark is set
Thanks to this consistent performance, Dhurandhar’s sixth-week total has reached an estimated ₹20.25 crore. With this, the film has officially broken the long-standing Week 6 record previously held by Stree 2, which had collected ₹18.6 crore during the same phase of its run.
Breaking a record so late into its theatrical life further cements Dhurandhar’s reputation as a film that thrives on longevity rather than front-loaded hype.
Week-wise India net collections so far
The film’s week-by-week journey paints a clear picture of how massive its run has been:
- Week 1: ₹207.25 crore
- Week 2: ₹253.25 crore
- Week 3: ₹172 crore
- Week 4: ₹106.5 crore
- Week 5: ₹51.25 crore
- Week 6 (ongoing): ₹20.25 crore
With these figures, Dhurandhar has now crossed ₹810.5 crore net in India, officially extending its lead as the highest-earning Hindi film of all time.
Gross and worldwide collections: numbers still climbing
On the gross front, the spy thriller has touched approximately ₹972.5 crore in India, while its overseas performance has added another ₹290 crore to the tally.
This takes Dhurandhar’s worldwide gross to around ₹1,262.5 crore, putting it among the top four highest-grossing Indian films ever. The film’s entry into the ₹1,300 crore club (as per production house figures) makes it only the second Bollywood film and the fourth Indian film overall to achieve the feat.
Holding strong against new releases
Even in its sixth week, Dhurandhar has managed to stay competitive against fresh arrivals. The Prabhas-starrer The Raja Saab collected around ₹4.88 crore on the same Tuesday, while Dhurandhar followed closely behind — a remarkable comparison considering the difference in release timelines.
The film has also comfortably outperformed newer Hindi releases like Ikkis, which entered cinemas on New Year’s Day but failed to pose any real threat to Dhurandhar’s screen presence.
Why Dhurandhar’s run feels different
Trade experts point to a few key reasons behind the film’s extraordinary legs:
- Ranveer Singh’s intense, restrained performance anchoring the narrative
- Akshaye Khanna’s cold, cerebral presence adding weight to the spy drama
- Aditya Dhar’s grounded, no-frills approach to the espionage genre
- Strong word-of-mouth beyond opening-week hype
- Repeat viewing in mass circuits and single screens
Final Words
At Day 40, Dhurandhar isn’t just surviving — it’s redefining what a long theatrical run looks like in modern Bollywood. From breaking sixth-week records to crossing historic box office milestones, the film has turned consistency into its biggest weapon.
With major releases still weeks away from fully taking over screens, Dhurandhar’s story at the box office feels far from finished. Whether or not it climbs further up the all-time charts, one thing is already clear: this spy thriller has permanently changed the benchmark for Hindi cinema success.
