Ranveer Singh’s latest action-packed thriller Dhurandhar has stormed past expectations. It delivers his biggest box office triumph amid a competitive 2025 slate. Directed by Aditya Dhar, the film blends high-stakes drama with a stellar cast. This has fueled massive audience turnout both in India and abroad. Its rapid climb to Rs 351.75 crore in domestic net collections marks a pivotal moment for Singh’s stardom.
Explosive Opening Fuels Momentum
Dhurandhar kicked off with Rs 28 crore on its debut Friday. The earnings built to Rs 43 crore by Sunday through glowing reviews and walk-ins. Weekday holds proved exceptional, averaging Rs 27 crore from Tuesday to Thursday despite typical drops. This stability propelled the first-week tally to Rs 207.25 crore, setting up an unprecedented second-week surge.
Second Friday Rewrites 2025 History
Day 8 delivered Rs 32 crore. It eclipsed the opening day. It claimed the year’s top second-Friday haul for a Hindi film. This leap outpaced Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava and Rishab Shetty’s multilingual Kantara 2, pushing totals past Rs 239 crore. Trade voices hail the feat as proof of unmatched hype and narrative pull.
Second Weekend Powers Past Rs 350 Crore
The follow-up days were remarkable. They exploded with Rs 53 crore on Saturday and Rs 59 crore on Sunday. This success vaulted Dhurandhar into elite territory. Overtaking heavyweights like War 2, it now stands as Singh’s top earner, surpassing Padmaavat’s Rs 302 crore lifetime run. Multiplex stocks like PVR Inox jumped 7% on the buzz.
North America Crowns It Overseas King
Across the Atlantic, Dhurandhar smashed records with USD 929,781 on second Friday, topping Baahubali 2’s long-held mark. The run hit USD 7.88 million, dethroning Coolie as 2025’s top Indian earner there and outrunning Chhaava and Saiyaara. Strong word-of-mouth drove surges like USD 1.4 million on second Saturday.
Cast Chemistry and Market Boost
Akshaye Khanna, Arjun Rampal, R Madhavan, and Sanjay Dutt elevate the ensemble, amplifying repeat visits. Trade expert Taran Adarsh calls it a “game-changer,” crediting Dhar’s vision for the sustained craze. For Singh, post-controversy, this hit restores momentum, with analysts predicting further climbs.
