Aditya Dhar’s spy action thriller ‘Dhurandhar’, headlined by Ranveer Singh and Akshaye Khanna, continues its unstoppable run at the box office. On Day 12, the film crossed a major milestone by surpassing Rs 400 crore India net, while also registering the biggest second week ever recorded by a Hindi film.
The film’s extraordinary performance in its second week has firmly placed it among the biggest blockbusters in recent Bollywood history.
Biggest Second Week Ever for a Hindi Film
According to early trade estimates, Dhurandhar collected approximately Rs 30 crore net on its 12th day, maintaining the same momentum it showed on the previous day. This strong hold resulted in the highest-ever second Tuesday collection for a Hindi release.
Within just five days of Week 2, the film crossed Rs 200 crore net, an achievement no other Hindi film has managed so far. This exceptional consistency indicates sustained audience interest across multiplexes and mass centres.
Set to Beat Its Own Opening Week Numbers
The robust Tuesday performance pushed the film’s second-week total to around Rs 204 crore net, making Dhurandhar the first Hindi film to cross Rs 200 crore net in its second week.
Interestingly, the film’s opening week collection stood at Rs 207.25 crore net, a figure it is expected to surpass on Day 13. Trade analysts believe the second week may conclude ahead of the opening week — a rare and remarkable feat in modern box office trends.
‘Dhurandhar’ All-India Box Office Figures
After completing 12 days in theatres, Dhurandhar has achieved an estimated Rs 411.25 crore India net collection.
- India gross: Approx. Rs 493.5 crore
- Expected milestone: Rs 500 crore India gross likely to be crossed mid-week
These numbers reflect the film’s exceptional theatrical pull and repeat audience value.
Worldwide Box Office Performance
On the international front, Dhurandhar has also delivered strong results. After crossing Rs 100 crore overseas, the film now stands at approximately Rs 130 crore internationally.
This takes the worldwide box office collection to around Rs 623.5 crore, officially placing the film among the highest-grossing Indian films of the year.
Highest Grosser of Ranveer Singh and Aditya Dhar
With its massive earnings, Dhurandhar has now become:
- Ranveer Singh’s highest-grossing film to date
- Director Aditya Dhar’s biggest commercial success
The film has also achieved a rare distinction by being the only Indian movie with a Rs 100 crore+ opening weekend to show growth during its second weekend. Additionally, it currently holds the record as the highest-grossing A-rated Indian film of 2025.
Record-Breaking Box Office Feats
Dhurandhar has shattered multiple benchmarks during its theatrical run. It surpassed the previous second-week record held by ‘Pushpa 2: The Rule’, which had collected Rs 196 crore net in Week 2. Remarkably, Dhurandhar crossed this figure in just five days.
The film’s second Tuesday collection was nearly double that of past record holders, highlighting its unmatched momentum.
Upcoming Competition at the Box Office
The film is currently enjoying a clear run but will soon face fresh competition with the release of James Cameron’s ‘Avatar: Fire and Ash’, which is set for a wide IMAX release across India. Early predictions suggest a strong opening for the Hollywood biggie, especially in English-language formats.
However, industry experts note that while Avatar is expected to dominate IMAX screens, Dhurandhar continues to attract a large Hindi-speaking audience, which could help it sustain collections.
Christmas Week Could Boost Collections Further
The upcoming Christmas holiday period may provide an additional boost to Dhurandhar’s box office numbers. That said, the film will also face competition from new releases, including the romantic comedy ‘Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri’, starring Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday.
Despite this, trade watchers remain confident about Dhurandhar’s long-term box office potential.
‘Dhurandhar’ Cast and Storyline
Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar revolves around an Indian intelligence operative who infiltrates Pakistan’s notorious Rehman Dakait gang. Alongside Ranveer Singh and Akshaye Khanna, the film features Arjun Rampal, R Madhavan, Sanjay Dutt, and Sara Arjun in pivotal roles.
Final Verdict
With record-breaking collections, strong word of mouth, and consistent weekday earnings, Dhurandhar has firmly established itself as a historic box office blockbuster. If the current trend continues, the film could soon march towards even bigger milestones in the coming weeks.
