Mumbai / New Delhi, January 5, 2026 — Dhurandhar, the 2025 spy thriller starring Ranveer Singh and directed by Aditya Dhar, continues its unprecedented success at the box office — now crossing ₹1,200 crore (₹12 billion) in worldwide gross with strong Day 31 numbers. According to industry trackers, the film’s global collection has already surpassed ₹1,188 crore, placing it among the top five highest-grossing Indian films ever and solidifying its position as one of Bollywood’s biggest commercial hits.
The film’s astonishing run, which began with its release on December 5, 2025, shows no signs of fading, as audiences continue to pack theaters both in India and key overseas markets more than four weeks into its theatrical run.
Day 31 Update: Momentum Keeps Climbing
On Day 31 (January 4, 2026), Dhurandhar collected another ₹13.50 crore in India alone, pushing its domestic net total to around ₹820.30 crore. This includes a solid performance even in the fifth weekend, a rare feat for Indian films, particularly in today’s competitive theatrical environment. On Sunday, the film drew strong audience attendance throughout the day in metropolitan and smaller centers alike.
The film’s worldwide gross now comfortably exceeds ₹1,200 crore — a landmark figure that cements its box office dominance in 2025. Variations in data report figures around ₹1,201.5 crore globally, but all trackers agree that the film has surpassed the ₹1,200 crore barrier.
Where Dhurandhar Ranks Among Indian Blockbusters
Industry analytics portal Sacnilk and other trackers place Dhurandhar among the elite films in Indian cinema history:
Top 5 Highest-Grossing Indian Films Worldwide (approx):
- Dangal — ~₹2,070 crore
- Baahubali 2: The Conclusion — ~₹1,788 crore
- Pushpa 2: The Rule — ~₹1,742 crore
- RRR — ~₹1,230 crore
- Dhurandhar — ~₹1,182–1,240 crore (and rising)
Dhurandhar thus joins films like Dangal, Baahubali 2, Pushpa 2 and RRR in the prestigious ₹1,000 crore club — a rare level of success achieved by only a handful of Indian films over the past decade.
Notably, Dhurandhar stands out because it is primarily a Hindi-language release — unlike some entries on the list that benefited from multi-language or dubbed releases across regions.
Domestic and Overseas Breakdown
India Box Office
At home, Dhurandhar has been a consistent performer, crossing the ₹800 crore net mark and reflected strong double-digit collections on most weekends — including Day 31. Its India gross collection is estimated at over ₹920 crore, demonstrating robust staying power long after its opening window.
Overseas Box Office
The film has also performed remarkably well overseas, grossing more than ₹270 crore (roughly USD 30 million) from key international markets. In regions like North America, Canada and Australia, Dhurandhar has even beaten records previously held by other Indian blockbusters.
- In North America, it surpassed the lifetime gross of Kalki 2898 AD to become one of the top-earners for an Indian film in the region.
- In Australia and Canada, it has topped charts as the highest-grossing Indian film ever in many metrics, surpassing films like Animal, Pathaan, Jawan and Padmaavat.
These overseas numbers are particularly notable because Dhurandhar achieved them without a release in certain major markets like the Middle East, indicating there may still be significant revenue yet to be realised.
Record Breaker: Sustained Weekends and Fifth Week Glow
Dhurandhar is not only notable for its overall gross but also for its sustained box office performance:
- It has posted double-digit collections on 30 out of its first 31 days — an extraordinarily rare achievement in Indian cinema.
- The film’s fifth weekend remains one of the highest fifth-weekend performers ever recorded, evidencing exceptional word-of-mouth and repeat viewership, even amid stiff competition from new releases.
This endurance is often viewed as a truer indicator of cinematic success than opening weekend figures, as it reflects continued audience interest over time.
Critical and Commercial Resonance
While box office numbers underscore its commercial might, Dhurandhar has also sparked strong audience engagement and media discussion. Released on December 5, 2025, the film received mixed-to-positive critical response, with praise focusing on its cast performances, especially Ranveer Singh’s lead role, direction, action sequences and production values.
However, some critics took issue with elements such as pacing or its blending of fact and fiction. Nonetheless, the overall box office trajectory — crossing four major milestones — suggests that popular reception has far outpaced critical reservations.
Comparative Context: Bollywood in 2025
In a year marked by several high-profile releases, Dhurandhar stands out as the highest-grossing Indian film of 2025 by a significant margin. Another notable 2025 release, Chhaava, also performed respectably with around ₹800 crore globally, but Dhurandhar’s dominance has reaffirmed that multi-weekend audience traction is key to a blockbuster run.
The film’s achievements come amid a broader upswing for Bollywood, where even challenging releases have begun to see 1000+ crore global totals driven by strong overseas performance and extensive domestic pull.
Industry Reaction and Milestones
Trade analysts and box office observers have widely praised Dhurandhar’s performance, noting that it has broken or challenged multiple records typically held by multi-language pan-India films:
- It has redefined expectations for a Hindi lead project’s global trajectory — especially in markets traditionally dominated by either Bollywood megahits or South Indian blockbusters dubbed in Hindi.
- It has also demonstrated the enduring commercial viability of genre cinema — in this case, a well-executed spy thriller — beyond conventional family drama or action formulas.
Superstars and industry figures from across Indian cinema have publicly acknowledged the success, with praise pouring in from both North and South Indian film communities for the movie’s wide appeal.
Looking Ahead: Can Dhurandhar Go Higher?
With Dhurandhar continuing in theaters beyond Day 31, the big question among box-office watchers is whether it will soon surpass RRR’s lifetime gross and potentially climb higher in the all-time rankings. A few key factors could influence its final standing:
- Continued weekend strength, especially in smaller Indian markets.
- Extended overseas legs, particularly in the U.S., Canada, Australia and potentially Middle East if released there later.
- Repeat viewings and genre fandom sustaining numbers beyond holiday periods.
At present, Dhurandhar remains due just under the lifetime gross of RRR — with some estimates placing it roughly ₹30–₹50 crore behind that film’s total — but the gap may narrow in the coming days.
Summary
Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar has delivered a blockbuster box office performance into its fifth week, crossing the ₹1,200 crore global mark by its Day 31 tally and entering the top five highest-grossing Indian films of all time.
Strong international turnout, especially in markets like North America, Canada and Australia, has bolstered its worldwide haul, while sustained domestic collections highlight its broad appeal. As the film continues its theatrical journey, industry observers will be watching whether it can climb even higher among cinema’s all-time global earners.
