Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar is closing the year with unstoppable momentum as the spy thriller heads toward the Rs 1,100 crore global milestone, putting Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan firmly within striking distance. On Day 26, the film showed fresh growth at the box office, fueled by New Year celebrations and strong evening footfalls across major cities.
Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar has turned into the defining Bollywood success story of 2025. With consistent collections deep into its fourth week, the film is now being talked about as a potential all time highest earning Hindi film if its current pace holds.
Day 26 collections show fresh jump amid New Year buzz
On Tuesday, Dhurandhar recorded an estimated India net collection of Rs 11.25 crore. This marked a noticeable rise from Monday’s Rs 10.50 crore, a rare trend for a film nearing the end of its fourth week.
The growth is being attributed to year end holidays, New Year Eve outings, and repeat viewership. With this latest figure, the film’s domestic net total now stands at approximately Rs 712.25 crore in just twenty six days.
Trade analysts point out that very few Hindi films manage double digit daily collections this late in their theatrical run, making Dhurandhar’s performance particularly remarkable.
Occupancy trends reflect steady audience interest
Despite being nearly a month old, Dhurandhar continues to pull in crowds, especially during evening shows. On Monday, the film registered an overall Hindi occupancy of 23.31 percent.
Morning shows opened on a slower note with around 13.18 percent occupancy. However, footfalls picked up sharply as the day progressed, with evening shows peaking at nearly 27.64 percent.
This pattern suggests that the film has become a preferred choice for post work and late night audiences, a sign of strong word of mouth rather than front loaded hype.
Week wise performance highlights film’s long run strength
Dhurandhar’s box office journey has been marked by both explosive highs and steady legs, allowing it to dominate the charts throughout December.
Here is a snapshot of its week wise India net collections:
| Week | Estimated Collection |
|---|---|
| Week One | Rs 207.25 crore |
| Week Two | Rs 253.25 crore |
| Week Three | Rs 172 crore |
| Week Four so far | Rs 79.75 crore |
The second week remains the film’s strongest phase, driven by glowing reviews and strong repeat value. While collections dipped in week three, the film has stabilized well in week four and is expected to cross the Rs 100 crore mark for a fourth consecutive week thanks to the New Year holiday window.
Global numbers push Dhurandhar into record territory
Beyond domestic figures, Dhurandhar has already cemented its place in history as the highest grossing Bollywood film worldwide. Its total gross collection currently stands at around Rs 854.75 crore.
With overseas markets still contributing and two crucial holiday days remaining, industry watchers believe the film is well positioned to soar past the Rs 1,100 crore global mark in the coming days.
This puts it within reach of Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan, which currently holds the crown as the highest earning Hindi film of all time. Whether Dhurandhar overtakes that benchmark will depend on how strongly it holds after the New Year weekend.
What makes Dhurandhar’s run so special
Several factors have worked in the film’s favor, helping it sustain momentum far longer than most big budget releases.
-
Ranveer Singh’s performance has received widespread praise across age groups
-
Aditya Dhar’s tight direction and high stakes storytelling appealed to mass and urban audiences alike
-
Limited major releases during December allowed the film to dominate screens
The presence of Akshaye Khanna in a key role has also been cited as a major plus, adding gravitas to the film’s espionage driven narrative.
Final stretch could decide Bollywood history
As Dhurandhar enters its final holiday stretch, all eyes are on how close it can get to the all time box office crown. Even if it falls short of Jawan’s record, its run has already redefined what sustained success looks like for Hindi cinema in the post pandemic era.
With packed evening shows, rising word of mouth, and festive crowds still flowing in, Dhurandhar’s story at the box office is far from over.
