A month after its release, Dhurandhar is still refusing to slow down — and that, in today’s box office climate, is rare. Aditya Dhar’s spy thriller has now created history by posting the highest-ever Day 29 collection for a Hindi film, underlining just how strong its theatrical grip remains even in its fourth week.
A rare fourth-week milestone
On its 29th day in cinemas, Dhurandhar added ₹8.75 crore to its tally, a number no Hindi film has managed this late into its run. In an era where most releases fade after two weeks, the Ranveer Singh-led blockbuster is still pulling in crowds at levels usually reserved for opening weekends.
By the end of Day 29, the film’s India Hindi net collection stands at ₹747.75 crore, while its worldwide total has climbed to ₹1,162.25 crore, firmly cementing its position as one of the biggest theatrical successes in Indian cinema.
How the long run unfolded
Dhurandhar opened strongly and then did something even more impressive — it sustained momentum.
- Week 1: ₹207.25 crore (India net), driven by a massive opening weekend
- Week 2: ₹253.25 crore, registering an unusual 22% growth over Week 1
- Week 3: ₹172 crore, despite a predictable mid-week dip
- Week 4: ₹106.5 crore, still posting daily numbers most films can only dream of
Even in its fourth week, daily collections hovered between ₹10 crore and ₹22.5 crore — figures that have now become historical benchmarks for Hindi cinema.
Leaving past blockbusters behind
What truly puts Dhurandhar in a league of its own is how it compares to other mega-hits on Day 29:
- Chhaava – ₹6.5 crore
- Pushpa 2 – ₹3.75 crore
- Stree 2 – ₹2.75 crore
- Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 – ₹2.4 crore
- Jawan – ₹1.78 crore
- KGF: Chapter 2 – ₹1.7 crore
- Baahubali 2 – ₹1.56 crore
Even Aditya Dhar’s earlier blockbuster Uri: The Surgical Strike had earned ₹2.14 crore on Day 29 — impressive at the time, but nowhere near Dhurandhar’s current dominance.
Crashing the all-time Top 5
With its current numbers, Dhurandhar has officially entered the Top 5 highest-grossing Indian films (domestic net) — and notably, it’s the only Hindi film in that elite list.
What makes the achievement even more striking is the speed. Films like Pushpa 2, Baahubali 2, KGF 2, and RRR took anywhere between six to sixteen weeks to reach similar milestones. Dhurandhar has done it in just four weeks, pushing Kalki 2898 AD out of the Top 5 along the way.
Ranveer Singh’s career-defining moment
For Ranveer Singh, this run marks a defining chapter. No recent Hindi release had managed to break into the Top 5 domestic net list — a feat even Shah Rukh Khan’s recent blockbusters couldn’t achieve. Dhurandhar has changed that narrative entirely.
Final Words
Dhurandhar isn’t just a hit — it’s a lesson in long-run box office power. Earning nearly ₹9 crore on its fourth Friday proves that strong storytelling, scale, and word of mouth still matter. With no signs of fatigue yet, the film is now eyeing an even bigger milestone: becoming the highest-grossing Hindi film ever in India (net).
