Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar, starring Ranveer Singh, has taken the nation by storm, crossing the Rs 1000 crore mark first globally and now in India.

Released on December 5, 2025, the spy-action thriller has won over audiences with its high-octane action, tight storytelling, and Ranveer Singh’s magnetic performance as a secret agent.

What makes Dhurandhar’s success even more remarkable is the way it reached audiences. Rather than relying on flashy promotions, the makers trusted the film’s content, letting word-of-mouth and critical praise do the talking.

The gamble clearly paid off, with moviegoers flocking to cinemas across the country, making it one of the highest-grossing Indian films domestically.
