Dhurandhar Box Office: Ranveer Singh Starrer Mints Excellent 1 Crore In 15th Weekend After Release Expansion

Mumbai, March 16 - The box office run of Dhurandhar continues to remain impressive even after more than three months in theatres. The Ranveer Singh-starrer has been in theatres since the first week of December 2025, and just ahead of the release of Dhurandhar 2, the makers decided to expand its release to over 1000 screens. Aditya Dhar's directed film recorded an excellent 1 crore gross collection in its 15th weekend, benefiting from a fresh round of screen expansion. Despite new releases arriving every week, the film has maintained a steady hold, showcasing remarkable longevity at the domestic box office. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The strong weekend numbers indicate the strong anticipation for part 2, which is releasing on March 19.

Such late-stage weekend spikes are rare, but the film's sustained popularity, repeat value, and the anticipation for Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge have kept it relevant even in its 15th weekend. The film is expected to collect a few more before the second part takes control of the box office. Stay tuned...
