Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar has picked up pace once again at the worldwide box office, aided by the Christmas holiday. Now in its fourth week in theatres, the Aditya Dhar-directed spy thriller continues to post robust numbers, earning over $1 million per day in overseas markets and an estimated Rs 20–25 crore gross domestically.
The renewed momentum has pushed Dhurandhar past several historic milestones. According to trade sources, the film has crossed the $26 million mark overseas, while its worldwide gross currently stands at around Rs 1,035 crore. The makers, however, claim the film has already surpassed Rs 1,050 crore globally.
In the domestic market, Dhurandhar had collected Rs 668 crore net (Rs 801.50 crore gross) by Saturday evening, marking its 23rd day in theatres. This achievement has placed it among the top five highest-grossing Indian films in India, behind only pan-India blockbusters such as Pushpa 2, Baahubali 2, KGF Chapter 2 and RRR. Notably, no Bollywood film has crossed the Rs 650 crore net mark in India so far.
Internationally, the film’s performance has been equally impressive. Dhurandhar has surpassed the lifetime overseas collections of several milestone Indian films, including Raj Kapoor’s Awara ($25.8 million), Mera Naam Joker ($22.1 million), My Name Is Khan ($20.3 million), Dunki ($23.7 million) and 3 Idiots ($26 million). While it remains far from the all-time overseas record held by Dangal, which earned a staggering $258 million, the film is steadily climbing the charts. Trade analysts expect it to overtake the overseas totals of Sholay ($28 million), Kalki 2898 AD and Bobby (both at $29 million) before the end of its theatrical run.
Dhurandhar stars Ranveer Singh as Hamza, an Indian operative who infiltrates gang and terror networks in Karachi. The film also features Akshaye Khanna, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt and R Madhavan in pivotal roles. Directed by Aditya Dhar, the spy thriller is set to expand with Dhurandhar: Part 2, slated for release in March 2026.
