Director Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar, starring Ranveer Singh and Akshaye Khanna, has become one of the biggest box‑office sensations of the year, crossing the Rs 1,000 crore mark worldwide — a milestone only a few Indian films achieve.

The action spy thriller’s remarkable commercial performance underscores its widespread popularity both in India and overseas, driven by strong word‑of‑mouth, sustained audience interest, and festive season momentum.

Dhurandhar has shattered multiple records, surpassing the year's earlier blockbusters Kantara Chapter 1 and Chhaava.

While Chhaava earned Rs 807.91 crore worldwide and Kantara Chapter 1 minted Rs 852 crore globally, Dhurandhar has crossed Rs 1000 crore worldwide in just 21 days, as reported by Jio Studios.

Released on December 5, 2025, Dhurandhar has consistently dominated theatres across its run.

By its third week, the film had already grossed well over Rs 900 crore globally, solidifying its place among the highest‑grossing Indian films of the year.

With continued strong daily earnings, especially during the Christmas period, it has now comfortably entered the elite Rs 1,000 crore club — a rare feat for Bollywood cinema.

The film’s box‑office journey has been noteworthy for its consistency. Early reports showed Dhurandhar surpassing major milestones such as Rs 500 crore and Rs 800 crore worldwide within just a few weeks of release. Its ability to maintain strong collections even in competitive periods speaks to its broad appeal.

Domestically, the Ranveer‑led thriller has also set impressive records. It emerged as one of the top performers of 2025, outpacing other major releases and maintaining a steady audience turnout.

Headlined by Ranveer Singh, Dhurandhar features an impressive ensemble cast that includes Akshaye Khanna, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Sara Arjun, and Rakesh Bedi.

Backed by a gripping storyline and powerful performances across the board, the film has played a key role in its extraordinary box-office success. The high-octane thriller is directed by Aditya Dhar, whose vision has been widely praised.
