Dhurandhar continues its powerful box office march, refusing to buckle even as Avatar: Fire and Ash entered cinemas worldwide. By the end of Day 16, Ranveer Singh’s spy thriller has not only tightened its grip at the Indian box office but has also positioned itself as a strong contender to become the biggest Indian film of 2025.
The Aditya Dhar directorial has now inched very close to the ₹800 crore worldwide milestone, powered largely by strong word of mouth and an impressive third-weekend jump.

Fastest Entry Into ₹500 Cr Club
With its Day 16 numbers, Dhurandhar has officially become:
- The 7th Hindi film to cross ₹500 crore net in India
- The fastest Hindi film to achieve the feat, overtaking Jawan and Stree 2
The film’s third-weekend growth underlines its strong recall value, especially in mass circuits where repeat viewership has played a big role.
Overseas Performance & 2025 Records Ahead
While Avatar: Fire and Ash did impact some international markets, Dhurandhar still managed a solid overseas run, contributing significantly to its worldwide total.
Trade expectations suggest the film is set to:
- Cross ₹807 crore, surpassing Chhaava
- Then challenge ₹852 crore, the lifetime collection of Kantara Chapter 1
Achieving both would firmly establish Dhurandhar as 2025’s highest-grossing Indian film worldwide.
About the Film
Dhurandhar stars Ranveer Singh as Hamza, an Indian operative navigating terror networks in Karachi. Directed by Aditya Dhar, the spy thriller also features Akshaye Khanna, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, and R. Madhavan in pivotal roles. The film opened with moderate numbers but witnessed rapid growth driven by strong audience feedback.
A sequel has already been announced, with Part 2 scheduled for release in March 2026.
Final Words
Sixteen days in, Dhurandhar has clearly shifted from being just a box office success to a full-fledged industry benchmark. Holding firm against major global competition and smashing domestic milestones, the film’s run now feels historic.
The only real question left: how far past ₹800 crore will it go?
