According to Sacnilk, Dhurandhar minted Rs 7.94 crore by 9pm on its 5th Saturday. The film's total domestic collection stands at Rs 755.69 crore.
Dhurandhar Box Office Collection Worldwide Day 29 Update: Ranveer Singh film mints over Rs 8 crore on fourth Friday.After crossing the Rs 1100 core mark globally, Ranveer Singh’s spy-thriller has now slowed down at the box office. On its fourth Friday, the film dipped down to single digits, the lowest single day earnings till now. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, the Aditya Dhar film collected Rs 8.75 crore on Friday, taking its domestic total to Rs 747.75 crore.
Dhurandhar recorded an overall theatre occupancy of 18 percent on January 2, with morning shows at 9.65 percent, afternoon shows at 20.32 per cent, and evening shows at 21.93 per cent. In the NCR, the film saw a 20 per cent occupancy across 921 shows, while Mumbai recorded an 18.33 per cent occupancy across 633 shows.
The film has already surpassed the worldwide lifetime collections of Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan (Rs 1,069.85 crore) and Jawan (Rs 1,163.62 crore). Dhurandhar now features among the highest-grossing Indian films of all time, currently ranking sixth. However, the blockbuster is yet to overtake the worldwide collections of KGF Chapter 2, RRR, Pushpa 2 The Rule, Baahubali 2 The Conclusion, and Dangal.
Dhurandhar also managed to stay ahead of new releases such as Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday’s Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri and Avatar: Ash and Fire. However, following the January 1 release of Dharmendra’s last movie Ikkis, a source told SCREEN that since the film is also distributed by Jio Studios, 50 per cent of Dhurandhar’s screens will be allotted to Agastya Nanda’s war drama.
Apart from Ranveer Singh, Dhurandhar also features Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Rakesh Bedi, and Sara Arjun in key roles. Directed by Aditya Dhar and jointly produced by Jio Studios and B62 Studios, the movie released on the big screen on December 5. The sequel of the film, Dhurandhar 2, is set to release in theatres on March 19, this year.
Just as the makers of Ikkis postponed their film to avoid getting engulfed by the Dhurandhar storm, reports now suggest that the makers of Akshay Kumar’s Bhooth Bangla are considering shifting its release date to steer clear of a clash with Dhurandhar 2. The sequel is slated to hit theatres on March 19, and much like the first installment, the buzz around the second part remains extremely high. Bhooth Bangla, currently scheduled for an April 2 release, also marks Akshay Kumar’s reunion with veteran filmmaker Priyadarshan.
Television actor Aasif Sheikh has lauded success of TV actors in Dhurandhar. Speaking to Siddharth Kannan, he said, “Look, there has been a very big breakthrough. Just see how many TV actors are in the hit film Dhurandhar, Rakesh, Saumya, Gaurav,they are all TV actors, playing different roles. So I feel this is a good opening for TV actors. And everyone has done their work successfully.”
He added, “But I can confidently say that we are much more efficient, committed, serious, and sincere. Because that’s how we were brought up—we have to finish the work. And all of us share this attitude: we don’t compromise on our work. We know that if we compromise, it will show on the screen. It’s an unspoken rule that you have to give your best, no matter what. Whatever your capacity is as an actor, you have to give your best."
Suriya lauded Dhurandhar and wrote, "Thank you @AdityaDharFilms for giving this masterpiece. #dhurandhar what a movie! Completely blown by your craft... love & respect to you and the whole team. Special congrats to my bro @ActorMadhavan - what a transformation! #akshayekhanna & @RanveerOfficial congrats on a very deserving blockbuster! Love, Suriya & Jo"
Rakesh Bedi spoke about much awaited Dhurandhar 2 and said, “A woman told me that after watching Dhurandhar she wants to sleep and directly wake up on the day when Dharundhar 2 is releasing, this is the reaction of many people. We told an amazing story, but we did not tell its climax. Now everyone wants to know what happens next and how does it end. This has happened only because every scene of Dhurandhar is engaging, because the makers did not take a commercial formulas in the film.”
He added, “It is not for me to reveal things about the film, but I can say that my character will be more ‘kamina (rascal)’ than what you have seen in the first part.” He added, “My character has placed his son-in-law on the top after getting Rehman Dakait killed. But what is my character’s next game? Because he has placed his son-in-law on the throne, but that doesn’t mean he will let his own throne go away.”
Rakesh Bedi, who plays the role of a sly Pakistani politician Jameel Jamali in Dhurandhar, said in an interview, "Akshaye Khanna's character has a flamboyance, which is increased by that song (FA9LA). This is a lethal combination, when a villain becomes lovable, then he becomes more loved than the hero. For example, Shatrughan Sinha, when he was at the peak of his career, his entry was marked by cheers and claps in theatres despite him playing a villain in every film. He was a lovable villain.”
According to Sacnilk, Ranveer Singh-starrer Dhurandhar has earned Rs 6.25 crore on Saturday till 7 pm. This has brought the film's total domesmtic collection to Rs 754 crore. Agastya Nanda's film Ikkis, which released on January 1, minted Rs 1.79 crore by 6pm.
Speaking to Faridoon Shahryar, he said, “I am of the nature that I speak to everyone on set and crack jokes with everyone. Akshaye, however, is different. He would sit in the corner quietly and read his books or would be looking into his phone. But whenever we sat together before the shot, we had very intellectual conversations. He asked me a lot about my theatre. I also asked him questions. So we had some good conversations, but when it comes to the scene, we rehearsed a lot.”
In the past, Indian cinema hasn't had much luck with 2-part films but that seems to be changing with Dhurandhar. The first part with a runtime of over 3 hours has done unimaginable business at the box office. Now, reports sugggest that Shah Rukh Khan-starrer King might follow the same model and release the film in two parts.
X user @theabhayd shared, "Akshaye Khanna just entered Bollywood legend territory! He’s now the FIRST Indian actor after Shah Rukh Khan to cross ₹2000 CR gross in a single year — AND he did it without being the solo lead!"
X user @MumbaichaDon, shared on Twitter, "Director .@AdityaDharFilms just proved he's real life #dhurandhar when it comes to National Interest. Reportedly, I&B Ministry ordered tweak in film dialogues by asking makers to REMOVE the word ‘Baloch’. Without complaint or hohalla, Aditya MUTED it. Before 2014, it was a different issue when Baloch movement was under Ba****d like Rahman Dakait. Post 2014, Baloch movement against Pakistan is totally different & nomore controlled by ISI stooges who used to take advantage of Patriot Balochs fighting for an independent nation protesting atrocities of Pakistan regime. Samazdar ko ishara kafi hai. Aditya perfectly understood this & did the 'needful'. The revised Ranveer Singh–starrer returns to cinemas from Jan 1, 2026."
X user @fozzywrites shared, "One of the most intriguing characters in Dhurandhar was Mohammad Aalam played so well by @gauravgera. This scene where he tells Hamza how drinking salted tea brings back old memories of his home and when Hamza asks him where he is from, he stays silent. My theory is that Aalam is a Kashmiri Pandit, because salted pink tea is quite common and deeply rooted in Kashmir. Knowing that the director himself is a Kashmiri Pandit only strengthens this point. It just goes on to show how detailed and thoughtfully built the world of Dhurandhar is. Every scene has small observations tucked into it, leaving room for viewers to connect dots and form their own theories."
Taran Adarsh shared on X, "DHURANDHAR ALL SET FOR 800 CR CLUB *TODAY*... #dhurandhar is all set to enter the ₹ 800 cr club today [fifth Saturday; Day 30], becoming the second film to achieve this historic milestone after #pushpa2 #hindi. #dhurandhar continues to be the first choice of moviegoers for the fifth consecutive week... The strong fifth Friday numbers once again confirm its supremacy and dominance at the boxoffice.⭐️ #dhurandhar [Week 5] Fri 9.70 cr. Total: ₹ 794.20 cr."
X user DrRickson shared, "Just watched Dhurandhar and honestly—this was a Ranveer Singh film through and through. Akshaye Khanna was good, yes—but not extraordinary. Feels like his performance has been disproportionately hyped, while Ranveer’s depth, intensity, and range didn’t get the credit it deserved. Sometimes subtle gets applause, but brilliance gets overlooked."
As per Jio Studios, Dhurandhar has earned Rs 794.2 crore after 29 days in the theatre. They claimed that the film earned Rs 9.7 crore on its 29th day in the theatres.
Dhurandhar's music album has clearly won hearts, and fans are really excited for the music album of the sequel as well. But, as far as the first film goes, fans are calling this the "album of the year."
Rapper Badshah seemed to have really loved Dhurandhar. He shared on X, "If life gives you 3 hours 30 minutes, watch Dhurandhar, not Avatar."
X user @aaraynsh wrote, "I think the biggest win of Dhurandhar is that it managed to keep people with a 5 second reel attention span glued to the screen for 3.5 hours."
As per a report in Bollywood Hungama, Netflix has acquired both parts of Dhurandhar for Rs 130 crore, which is significantly less when compared to the box office collections of the first part. A source told the publication, “Netflix has paid Rs 130 crore for the streaming rights of Dhurandhar. This includes both parts. Hence, one can say that the rights were sold for around Rs 65 crore each for Dhurandhar: Part 1 and Part 2.”
Dhurandhar still has 929 shows in the Delhi-NCR region and the film witnessed an occupancy of 17.25% on Friday.
Dhurandhar has been dominating the movie theatres for almost a month now but on New Year's Day, with the release of Ikkis, it looked as if the film might face some competition. However, it doesn't look like that is the case. After starting its box office journey at Rs 7 crore, Ikkis has dropped to Rs 3.5 crore on the second day.
Dhurandhar currently has over 3800 shows in India. The film is now sharing screens with Maddock Film's Ikkis, which released in theatres on January 1.
Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar is now just Rs 35 crore shy of surpassing SS Rajamouli's international hit RRR. Upon its domestic release, RRR earned Rs 782 crore in India.The film made Rs 1230 crore worldwide.
After being in theatres for nearly a month, Dhurandhar's domestic nett collection now stands at Rs 747.75 crore. Dhurandhar is now the fifth highest grosser in India after Pushpa The Rule (Rs 1234 cr), Baahubali 2 (Rs 1030 cr), KGF 2 (Rs 860 cr), RRR (Rs 782 cr).
Ranveer Singh-starrer Dhurandhar has dropped to single digit collections after being in theatres for nearly a month. The film has been making over Rs 10 crore for 28 days, but on the 29th day, the film managed to earn only Rs 8.75 crore.
