For over a month, Dhurandhar ruled the box office without any serious competition. Directed by Aditya Dhar and fronted by Ranveer Singh, the high-octane spy thriller turned December 2025 into its personal victory lap, dominating ticket counters week after week.
But as 2026 begins, the box office equation has finally shifted. The arrival of The Raja Saab, led by Prabhas, has introduced the first real disruption to Dhurandhar’s long, undefeated run.
Day 37 Numbers: Still Strong, But the Crown Slips
Even in its sixth week, Dhurandhar continues to show remarkable stamina. According to estimates from Sacnilk, the film collected ₹5.75 crore on its sixth Saturday, following a ₹3.5 crore haul on Friday. These numbers pushed the film’s India net total to ₹799.5 crore, leaving it just a fraction away from the massive ₹800 crore milestone.
While missing that mark by a whisker may sting slightly, the bigger picture remains impressive — very few Hindi films have managed to stay this consistent so deep into their theatrical run.
Week-by-Week: A Box Office Marathon
The film’s sustained success becomes even clearer when you look at its weekly performance:
- Week 1: ₹207.25 crore
- Week 2: ₹253.25 crore
- Week 3: ₹172 crore
- Week 4: ₹106.5 crore
- Week 5: ₹51.25 crore
- 6th Friday: ₹3.5 crore
- 6th Saturday: ₹5.75 crore
Total India Net: ₹799.5 crore
This kind of consistency has cemented Dhurandhar as one of the biggest theatrical successes of recent times, especially in the action-spy genre.
Global Numbers Tell an Even Bigger Story
On the global front, Dhurandhar continues to shine. The film’s worldwide box office collection now stands at ₹1245.75 crore. Out of this, India gross contributes ₹959.25 crore, while overseas markets have added ₹286.5 crore to the tally.
The strong international performance played a key role in elevating the film from a domestic blockbuster to a global box office force.
Enter The Raja Saab: A New Contender Takes the Spotlight
While Dhurandhar continues to pull respectable numbers, Prabhas’ The Raja Saab has begun drawing significant attention at the ticket windows. The pan-India release opened modestly with ₹9.15 crore, before witnessing a massive jump to ₹53.75 crore on Friday.
Saturday, however, saw a sharp correction. The horror-fantasy entertainer collected ₹27.83 crore across languages, bringing its current India total to ₹90.73 crore. Despite the drop, the film’s sheer scale and star power have clearly diverted footfalls, especially in mass circuits and southern markets.
On Saturday alone, The Raja Saab comfortably outperformed Dhurandhar in daily collections, signalling a shift in audience priorities.
What This Clash Really Means
This isn’t a fall from grace for Dhurandhar — it’s simply the natural lifecycle of a blockbuster finally encountering heavyweight competition. After more than five weeks at the top, the Ranveer Singh starrer has already secured its legacy as one of 2025’s defining theatrical hits.
At the same time, The Raja Saab has announced itself as a major player in early 2026, even as its long-term box office trajectory remains dependent on word of mouth and weekday trends.
Final Words
Dhurandhar may have lost its uncontested box office throne, but its numbers speak for themselves. Crossing ₹799 crore in India and ₹1245 crore worldwide is no small feat — especially with such sustained momentum over weeks.
With The Raja Saab now commanding attention, the box office battlefield has officially heated up. Whether Prabhas’ film can maintain its early buzz or Dhurandhar continues to inch toward the ₹800 crore club remains one of the most interesting box office stories to watch in the coming days.
