The box office run of Dhurandhar is no longer just impressive — it’s rewriting the rulebook. In just ten days, Aditya Dhar’s high-stakes spy thriller has powered past the ₹500 crore worldwide mark, delivering what is now officially the biggest second weekend ever for a Hindi film. With momentum still accelerating, the Ranveer Singh-led spectacle is fast emerging as the year’s most dominant theatrical force.
A Second Weekend for the History Books
Sunday turned out to be a game-changer. Dhurandhar pulled in a massive ₹59 crore net in India on Day 10 alone, pushing its second-weekend domestic total to ₹144.5 crore — a staggering 40% jump over its opening weekend.
In just ten days, the film’s India net collections now stand at ₹351.75 crore, translating to roughly ₹422 crore gross domestically. Trade circles believe the ₹400 crore and ₹500 crore India milestones are no longer a question of if, but when — with even the rare ₹600 crore club quietly entering the conversation.
Overseas Turnaround Powers Global Surge
Interestingly, Dhurandhar didn’t explode overseas right out of the gate. Its international opening weekend was measured, even cautious. But strong word of mouth flipped the narrative fast.
According to trade estimates, the film has now earned over $12 million overseas in ten days, with nearly $4.5 million arriving in the second weekend alone. That late surge has pushed the film’s worldwide total to approximately ₹530 crore, cementing its global blockbuster status.
Beating Heavyweights, Eyeing the Top Tier
Crossing ₹500 crore worldwide has also allowed Dhurandhar to leapfrog several modern-era hits. Its current global haul has already surpassed the lifetime numbers of:
- Coolie (₹518 crore)
- Dunki (₹470 crore)
- War (₹449 crore)
- Pushpa: The Rise (₹365 crore)
At this stage, only three 2025 releases remain ahead on the worldwide leaderboard: Kantara Chapter One, Chhaava, and Saiyaara. If current trends hold, Dhurandhar is firmly positioned to challenge at least one — if not more — of those benchmarks.
Why the Film Is Connecting
Despite opening to mixed critical reactions, audience reception has been relentless. The combination of scale, performances, and Dhar’s gritty spy-world storytelling appears to be striking a chord well beyond opening-week hype. Ranveer Singh’s front-footed presence, backed by a heavyweight ensemble, has helped the film sustain momentum rather than burn out early.
All About Dhurandhar
Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar is a globe-trotting espionage thriller featuring Ranveer Singh in the lead, supported by Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, and R. Madhavan. Released amid sky-high expectations, the film has turned into a box office juggernaut powered largely by audience-driven buzz rather than front-loaded frenzy.
Final Words
Ten days in, Dhurandhar isn’t slowing down — it’s shifting gears. With record-breaking weekends, growing overseas traction, and multiple milestones already ticked off, the film’s box office journey now feels less like a sprint and more like a long, dominant victory lap.
