  • The film's domestic net collections have crossed Rs 820 crore
  • Sequel Dhurandhar 2 set for release on March 19, 2026

Dhurandhar, the 2025 spy action thriller starring Ranveer Singh and Akshaye Khanna, continued its strong performance at the box office on Day 44, recording a healthy growth in earnings on Saturday. Released on December 5, 2025, the film has sustained audience interest deep into its seventh week, an unusual feat for a Hindi film at this stage of its theatrical run.

According to early estimates, Dhurandhar nearly doubled its Friday tally over the weekend, bringing in an estimated Rs 3 crore on its 44th day, up from around Rs 1.75 crore earlier in the week. This uptick highlights continued viewer turnout and suggests the film’s enduring appeal even weeks after its initial release.

The film, directed by Aditya Dhar, has broken multiple box office records since its release and stands as one of the highest-grossing Hindi films of the year. Domestic net collections for Dhurandhar have reportedly crossed Rs 820 crore, underscoring its exceptional longevity and strong market performance.

As per Sacnlik, industry analysts attribute the film’s robust run to several factors: strong star power, positive word-of-mouth, and a compelling narrative that has resonated with audiences. Its sustained box office receipts, particularly on weekdays and in later weeks of release, have placed Dhurandhar among rare Bollywood films that continue to draw significant footfall well beyond the typical first month of release.

The buzz around the upcoming sequel, scheduled to hit theaters on March 19, 2026, is also believed to be boosting interest in the original film. With anticipation building for the next installment, exhibitors and trade trackers are optimistic about Dhurandhar’s ability to maintain steady collections in its final weeks of screening.
