Even a month after its theatrical release, Dhurandhar is showing no signs of slowing down. Ranveer Singh’s espionage thriller, directed by Aditya Dhar, continues to dominate the box office despite fresh releases entering the race. What’s impressive is not just the film’s total haul, but the way it keeps bouncing back — especially on weekends — proving that audience interest remains rock solid well into its fifth week.
Weekend Surge Keeps Momentum Alive
While weekday collections dipped as expected in week five, Dhurandhar found its rhythm again as the weekend rolled in. After earning ₹8.75 crore on its fifth Friday, the film saw a sharp jump on Saturday, adding ₹11.75 crore to its tally. That push has taken the film’s India net collection to ₹759.5 crore, putting it just a step away from the ₹760 crore milestone domestically.
Trade analysts note that such weekend recoveries at this stage are rare and underline the film’s strong word-of-mouth and repeat-viewing factor.
Worldwide Numbers Continue to Impress
Globally, Dhurandhar has now amassed ₹1182.25 crore in 30 days. Of this, the Indian gross contributes ₹911.25 crore, while overseas markets have chipped in ₹271 crore. The film is steadily inching toward the coveted ₹1200 crore worldwide club — an extraordinary feat for a Bollywood espionage thriller.
Weekly Box Office Performance
Here’s how Dhurandhar has stacked up week by week in India:
- Week 1: ₹207.25 crore
- Week 2: ₹253.25 crore
- Week 3: ₹172 crore
- Week 4: ₹106.5 crore
- 5th Friday: ₹8.75 crore
- 5th Saturday: ₹11.75 crore
Total (Day 30): ₹759.5 crore
The steady decline week-on-week is expected, but the film’s ability to hold above double digits on weekends continues to separate it from the rest of the pack.
How the Competition Is Faring
While Dhurandhar remains unchallenged at the top, newer releases are struggling to keep pace. War drama Ikkis, which marks the debut of Agastya Nanda and Simar Bhatia, has had a modest start, nearing ₹20 crore worldwide within its first three days. Meanwhile, Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday’s Christmas release Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri continues to face an uphill battle, managing just over ₹31 crore in India and ₹45.75 crore globally after ten days.
Final Words
At this point, Dhurandhar isn’t just outperforming rivals — it’s setting its own benchmarks. Holding strong in its fifth week, flirting with ₹760 crore in India and eyeing ₹1200 crore worldwide, the film has cemented its place as one of Bollywood’s biggest box office success stories in recent years. The real question now isn’t if it’ll cross the next milestone, but how soon.
