Nearly seven weeks into its theatrical run, Dhurandhar continues to defy gravity. Directed by Aditya Dhar and headlined by Ranveer Singh, the period spy thriller remains steady at the box office, even as newer releases line up to challenge its dominance.
On Day 48, the film added ₹1.15 crore in India — its lowest single-day figure so far, yet still an impressive hold considering its late stage in the run. With this, Dhurandhar has now amassed ₹883.80 crore nett in India and a massive ₹1339.80 crore worldwide, keeping it firmly among the biggest Indian box-office stories in recent years.
A Rare Seventh-Week Hold
What stands out most about Dhurandhar isn’t just the total — it’s the consistency. Even on the eve of completing its seventh week, the film continues to hover above the ₹1 crore mark daily, a feat rarely seen in modern Hindi cinema.
Since its release on December 5, 2025, the film dominated for weeks. Until its fourth week, it recorded double-digit daily collections, becoming the first Indian film ever to sustain such numbers for that long. While collections have naturally softened, audience interest hasn’t vanished — a sign of strong word of mouth and repeat viewing.
Outlasting New Releases With Ease
In comparison, newer films haven’t come close to matching Dhurandhar’s endurance. Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos, starring Vir Das and Kavi Shastri, managed only ₹19 lakh on its first Thursday.
Over the past month, Dhurandhar has also comfortably outperformed films like Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri starring Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday, as well as Ikkis directed by Sriram Raghavan, featuring Agastya Nanda and the late Dharmendra.
Weekly Breakdown Shows the Scale of the Run
The film’s week-wise performance highlights just how extraordinary its journey has been:
- Opening week: ₹207.25 crore
- Week 2: ₹253.25 crore
- Week 3: ₹172 crore
- Week 4: ₹106.50 crore
- Week 5: ₹51.25 crore
- Week 6: ₹26.35 crore
- Week 7 (so far): steady ₹1–2 crore daily range
Notably, Dhurandhar is the only Indian film to earn more in its second week than its opening week, a statistic that underscores its explosive audience momentum.
New Competition Looms With Border 2
The real test now begins. This Friday, Dhurandhar faces its biggest challenge yet with the release of Border 2, directed by Anurag Singh. The film stars Sunny Deol, alongside Varun Dhawan and Diljit Dosanjh.
With an extended opening weekend and the Republic Day holiday boosting footfalls, Border 2 is expected to dominate screens. Whether Dhurandhar can continue holding ground amid this fresh wave remains to be seen.
Worldwide Numbers and the Bigger Picture
Globally, Dhurandhar stands at ₹1339.80 crore, placing it among the highest-grossing Indian films ever. However, it still trails behind:
- Pushpa 2: The Rule – ₹1742.10 crore
- Baahubali 2: The Conclusion – ₹1788.06 crore
- Dangal – ₹2070.30 crore
Catching up to those giants may be tough, but Dhurandhar has already secured its place as one of the most profitable and resilient Hindi films of all time.
Final Words
Even as collections slow, Dhurandhar’s legacy is firmly intact. A ₹1 crore-plus hold in its seventh week, near-₹900 crore domestic earnings, and a ₹1300+ crore worldwide total tell a story of scale, stamina, and star power. With Border 2 entering the arena, the coming days will decide how far this juggernaut can stretch — but one thing is already clear: Dhurandhar has rewritten what longevity looks like for Hindi blockbusters.
