Dhurandhar crosses ₹745 crore worldwide, beats Gadar 2, eyes ₹800 crore milestone
Ranveer Singh’s spy thriller Dhurandhar continues to dominate at the box office, marking a remarkable performance even on its 15th day. The film recorded its lowest single-day collection yet on the third Friday, but still managed ₹22.50 crore net domestically and around ₹35 crore gross worldwide. Industry experts say this “low” figure underscores the film’s stronghold at ticket windows. With this momentum, Dhurandhar is rapidly approaching the ₹800 crore mark globally.
The film has earned ₹483 crore net (₹579.50 crore gross) in India over 15 days. After a record-breaking second week, the third week began on a positive note. The movie is poised to cross ₹500 crore net domestically, likely achieving this milestone by Saturday. The domestic audience continues to show strong support, making Dhurandhar one of the rare films with sustained high collections in the third week.
Internationally, the film performed steadily. Despite stiff competition from Avatar: Fire and Ash, which released globally on the same Friday, Dhurandhar maintained its momentum. Its overseas gross has crossed $18 million, pushing the worldwide total to around ₹745 crore. Trade analysts suggest the film could cross ₹800 crore as early as Sunday, or even on its 16th day if Saturday brings a strong uptick.
Dhurandhar has now entered the top 10 highest-grossing Hindi films of all time. In the process, it surpassed Gadar 2’s lifetime collection. Currently positioned at 10th, the film is expected to climb higher. It has a realistic shot at surpassing films like PK (₹792 crore), Chhaava (₹807 crore), and Stree 2 (₹875 crore). Analysts believe that with continued audience support, Dhurandhar could even challenge Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan (₹1,050 crore) for the top spot in worldwide gross.
The film’s strong performance stems from its gripping storyline and star-studded cast. Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar follows Ranveer Singh as Hamza, an Indian operative infiltrating gang and terror networks in Karachi. The film also features Akshaye Khanna, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, and R. Madhavan in pivotal roles. Its blend of action, suspense, and high production values has resonated with audiences globally, contributing to its sustained box office success.
Additionally, positive word-of-mouth has played a key role in driving repeat viewership. The film’s action sequences, screenplay, and Ranveer’s performance have drawn both domestic and international audiences. With its continued run in multiple territories, trade pundits remain confident that Dhurandhar will continue its upward trajectory, solidifying its place among Bollywood’s all-time blockbusters.
In conclusion, Dhurandhar demonstrates the power of a well-crafted spy thriller combined with a strong star cast. Even on the 15th day, the film commands impressive collections, surpassing established hits and inching closer to ₹800 crore worldwide. The coming weekend will be crucial, but all signs point to a continued box office domination.
