Dhurandhar Box Office: Ranveer Singh Film Hits ₹1,200 Crore Worldwide

Dhurandhar BO: Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar is now the highest-grossing Hindi film of 2025. Discover how it crossed ₹1,200 crore and broke Jawan and Pushpa 2's domestic records.

The 2025-2026 box office cycle has found its ultimate king in Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar. As of January 7, 2026, the film has not just broken records; it has rewritten the rules of the Indian "Industry Hit."


The Rise of Dhurandhar: A Historic Milestone

Aditya Dhar, the visionary behind Uri: The Surgical Strike, has returned with an espionage thriller that has captivated the global audience. Starring Ranveer Singh as Hamza Ali Mazari, an undercover Indian operative in Karachi, the film has bridged the gap between a high-stakes spy thriller and a mass-market blockbuster.

As of this week, Dhurandhar has officially amassed ₹1,253 crore worldwide.
  • The Global Rank: It is now the 4th highest-grossing Indian film of all time, having surpassed the lifetime collections of SS Rajamouli’s RRR (₹1,230 crore) and Yash’s KGF: Chapter 2.
  • The Domestic King: In a historic move on January 6, 2026 (Day 33), the film surpassed the Hindi domestic net collection of Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2: The Rule. With a domestic net of ₹831.40 crore, it is now officially the highest-grossing film in Hindi cinema history.

Dhurandhar Surpassing the Giants

The film’s trajectory has been nothing short of a "monster run," steadily overtaking the benchmarks set by the biggest names in the industry:
  • Jawan & Pathaan: It comfortably moved past Shah Rukh Khan’s 2023 records, showing incredible legs in its 4th and 5th weeks.
  • Pushpa 2: While Pushpa 2 remains higher in terms of total worldwide gross across all languages (₹1,742 crore), Dhurandhar has claimed the crown for the Hindi market specifically.

Why Dhurandhar Became a Viral Phenomenon

Several factors that contributed to this "Dhurandhar Wave" that swept the box office:

  • Stellar Ensemble: 

The performance of Akshaye Khanna and the chemistry between Ranveer and Akshaye (playing the gang leader Rehman Dakait) became the talk of social media, supported by heavyweights like Sanjay Dutt and R Madhavan.

  • Ranveer Singh’s Career-Best: 

Critics are calling this Ranveer's "transformation year," praising his restrained yet explosive performance as a spy.

  • Minimal Promotions, Maximum Impact: 

Unlike the usual high-decibel marketing, the makers (Jio Studios & B62 Studios) relied on the film's "silence and substance," allowing word-of-mouth to drive the numbers. 

  • The "Karachi Underworld" Setting of Dhurandhar:

The gritty, realistic depiction of Karachi’s Lyari area resonated deeply with audiences looking for authentic action.

What’s Next: Dhurandhar 2

The viral fever isn't ending anytime soon. The makers have already confirmed that the story is a two-part saga. Dhurandhar 2 is officially slated for release on March 19, 2026. With the first film still playing in theatres and outperforming new releases like Ikkis, the anticipation for the sequel has already made it the most searched movie of the year.
