Dhurandhar Box Office Report: Dhurandhar Crosses ₹925 Crore collections at the Box Office, Sequal Release Date Confirmed
The "Dhurandhar" Storm: Aditya Dhar, Akshaye Khanna and Ranveer Singh's Film Rewrites Box Office History as Dhurandhar 2 Gets Official 2026 Release Date.
MUMBAI – The Indian film industry has a new king, and his name is Dhurandhar. As of today, December 24, 2025, Aditya Dhar’s high-octane spy thriller has not just entered the record books-it has rewritten them. In a mere 20 days, the Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna-starrer has decimated box office barriers, officially becoming the #1 Indian film of 2025 and signaling a tectonic shift in Bollywood’s commercial hierarchy.
A Global Juggernaut: Ranveer Singh’s Spy Epic Overtakes "Jawan" as Global Hit at the Box Office
The scale of the "Dhurandhar" phenomenon is best reflected in its staggering numbers. Crossing the ₹925 crore mark in global box office collections this week, the film has surpassed the lifetime worldwide earnings of Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan.Related:
Trade analysts attribute this Dhurandhar Box Office Performance to a perfect storm of factors:
- The Aditya Dhar Factor: The director has proven that his Uri success was no fluke, delivering a technical masterpiece that has been hailed as India’s answer to the Mission Impossible franchise.
- Ensemble Cast Excellence: While Ranveer Singh’s "mercurial" performance leads the pack, the film has seen a resurgence for Akshaye Khanna (whose portrayal of Rehman Dakait is being called the "villain of the decade") and R. Madhavan.
- Repeat Value: Despite a runtime of nearly three hours, the film is maintaining an unprecedented 25% occupancy even on its third weekdays.
"Dhurandhar 2" Release Date Confirmed.
Capitalizing on the white-hot momentum, Jio Studios and B62 Studios have officially greenlit the sequel. Dhurandhar 2 is now locked for a pan-India release on March 19, 2026, strategically timed for the Eid, Gudi Padwa, and Ugadi festivities.Also Read:
"The demand from the South markets-especially Telugu and Tamil-has been deafening," a production insider shared. "We are scaling up the narrative to ensure Dhurandhar 2 isn't just a sequel, but a global event."
The "Kartik Aaryan" Challenge: A David vs. Goliath Battle
As the Dhurandhar wave continues to sweep through multiplexes, the collateral damage is being felt by new releases. Kartik Aaryan’s highly anticipated romantic comedy, Tu Meri Main Tera (TMMT), which arrives in theaters tomorrow (Christmas Day), is facing an uphill battle at the box office.Despite positive early reviews praising the chemistry between Aaryan and Ananya Panday, advance bookings have remained "subdued" in the face of the Dhurandhar monopoly on IMAX and premium screens. Trade pundits suggest that unless Tu Meri Main Tera delivers an extraordinary emotional hook, it may struggle to find breathing room in a market still obsessed with Aditya Dhar’s spy-verse.
What’s Next for the Bollywood Film Industry?
With Dhurandhar eyeing the ₹1000 crore elite club by New Year's Eve, the industry is looking at a revitalized 2026. While the sequel is already the "film to beat," all eyes are now on how other major stars-including the upcoming projects from the YRF Spy Universe-will respond to the high bar set by Aditya Dhar's film.Latest Stories:
