Here’s a bold statement: Dhurandhar is proving to be the unstoppable juggernaut of 2025’s box office, and its dominance is sparking conversations across the industry. But here’s where it gets controversial—can any film dethrone Ranveer Singh and Akshaye Khanna’s espionage thriller anytime soon? Let’s dive in.
Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar, directed by Aditya Dhar, has defied all odds and continues to reign supreme at the box office, even 30 days after its December 5 release. This action-packed thriller has not only kept audiences on the edge of their seats but has also maintained its grip on the top spot despite fierce competition. While there’s been a natural dip in numbers as the film enters its fifth week, it’s still outperforming rivals, especially during weekends. For instance, the film raked in over Rs 10 crore during a recent weekend surge, pushing its India collections close to Rs 760 crore and its worldwide earnings toward the staggering Rs 1200 crore mark. Is this a testament to its storytelling, or is it riding purely on star power? What do you think?
Meanwhile, Ikkis, the war drama marking the debut of Agastya Nanda (Amitabh Bachchan’s grandson) and Simar Bhatia (Akshay Kumar’s niece), is holding its ground steadily. Within just 3 days, it’s inching closer to the Rs 20 crore mark worldwide—a respectable start for newcomers. However, the same can’t be said for Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday’s Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri, which continues to struggle. After 10 days, it’s barely crossed Rs 31 crore domestically and Rs 45.75 crore globally. Are romantic comedies losing their charm, or is this just a case of mismatched casting?
And this is the part most people miss—Dhurandhar isn’t just a box office hit; it’s a cultural phenomenon. Renowned filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar has crowned it the 'film of 2025,' calling it 'absolutely brilliant.' According to Sacnilk, the film earned Rs 11.75 crore on its 5th Saturday, bouncing back from a single-digit collection of Rs 8.75 crore on day 29. With this, its India total stands at Rs 759.5 crore, and its worldwide gross has hit Rs 1182.25 crore (Rs 911.25 crore from India and Rs 271 crore from overseas).
Here’s a breakdown of Dhurandhar’s weekly performance to put things in perspective:
- Week 1: Rs 207.25 crore
- Week 2: Rs 253.25 crore
- Week 3: Rs 172 crore
- Week 4: Rs 106.5 crore
- 5th Friday (Day 29): Rs 8.75 crore
- 5th Saturday (Day 30): Rs 11.75 crore
- Total: Rs 759.5 crore
