Dhurandhar Box Office: Ranveer Singh-fronted Becomes The Second Fastest To Hit 500 Crore Net In Hindi

Mumbai, December 20 - Director Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar continues its historic march at the box office, entering the historic 500 crores net club in Hindi and becomes the fastest outright Bollywood film of all-time to do so. The Ranveer Singh-fronted spy actioner hit the milestone on its 16th day. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Dhurandhar is the second fastest Hindi movie to reach the milestone, bettered only by Allu Arjun-fronted Telugu blockbuster Pushpa 2 - The Rule, which set the record by crossing 500 crore net in 11 days. Among the Bollywood films, superstar Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan was previously the fastest, with 18 days taken to breach the milestone. The achievement further cements Dhurandhar's status as one of the biggest theatrical phenomena in recent years. The film has displayed extraordinary momentum, especially during its second week. Strong weekend surges, packed theatres across mass circuits, and sustained urban footfalls have powered the film past the landmark figure at a better pace than other Bollywood titles. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The film has struck a chord with audiences nationwide, thanks to the powerful performances and intense narrative. Word of mouth has remained consistently strong, translating into repeat viewership and exceptional holds on weekdays, a key factor behind the film's rapid climb to 500 crore net. With this milestone, Dhurandhar also becomes the first film of Ranveer Singh to enter the 500 crores net club, surpassing his previous biggest blockbusters by a considerable margin. The film's dominance at the domestic box office has been mirrored overseas as well, where it continues to post robust numbers. S.

Dhurandhar Box Office Day 15 Estimates: The Spy Actioner Begins Third Weekend With Exceptional Hold

Mumbai, December 19 - Ranveer Singh-fronted spy actioner has kicked off its third weekend with an exceptional hold, scoring in the range of the second Thursday collection. The film is in the territory of insanity, where it is shattering records for fun on day wise basis. According to early estimates, the Aditya Dhar's directorial is heading to score 22-23 crores net collection on its third Friday (Day 15). Needless to say, it is the biggest third Friday ever in Hindi, beating Chhaava's 13 crores net by a massive margin of around 70%. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Dhurandhar practically had no major competition in the second week, but it was welcomed by James Cameron's Avatar: Fire & Ash, the third instalment of the Avatar franchise, which has had a strong box office history in India. However, even Cameron failed to stop Dhurandhar's juggernaut, and is likely to remain the number 1 movie this weekend as well. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The total collection of the film stands at around 482 crores net in 15 days, set to enter the 500 crores net club by tomorrow to become only the 9th film of all-time to hit the mark in Hindi. The third weekend is expected to be in the range of 80 crores net, which will be a record third weekend in Hindi. As reported earlier, Dhurandhar is almost locked for 700+ crores net, especially given the long holiday period ahead. It needs to be seen if it can go on to beat Pushpa 2: The Rule's 800+ crores net and become the biggest Hindi net grosser, once this holiday period is over. Stay tuned...

Top 5 A-Rated Indian Films At Worldwide Box Office: Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar Tops The Chart

Mumbai, December 25 - Indian cinema has seen big results at the box office over the last few years, with many films crossing the 500 crores milestone. It used to be a rarity before the COVID pandemic, but with audiences craving for big-ticket entertainers with solid theatrical appeal, the milestone is no longer out of reach. While crossing the half-billion mark might not be a big ask anymore, films with A-ratings have always walked a tightrope at the box office. With restricted audiences, limited family footfalls, and often polarising themes, breaking records in the adult-certified space is no easy feat. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Yet, every once in a while, a film comes along that defies the odds, rewriting the rules of what an A-rated Indian film can achieve commercially. Well, this has happened a few times over the last couple of years, where multiple A-rated titles achieved big success at the box office, proving that audiences are ready to embrace such films if they are worthy of their time and money. Here are the top 5 highest-grossing Indian films at the worldwide box office - 1. Dhurandhar (Hindi, 2025) - 944+ crore (20 days) Director - Aditya Dhar Starring - Ranveer Singh, Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Sara Arjun, Rakesh Bedi Still in theatres and still breathing fire, Dhurandhar is rewriting the narrative in real time. Powered by ferocious performances, raw action, and an uncompromising tone, the film has already crossed massive global milestones by becoming the all-time biggest A-rated grosser. It is now marching towards 1000 crores gross milestone. 2. Animal (Hindi, 2023) - 915 crore Director - Sandeep Reddy Vanga Starring - Ranbir Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna, Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Violent, divisive, and relentless, the action drama rooted in father-son sentiments, Animal, went against the regular filmmaking and bulldozed its way to the top with an unprecedented worldwide gross, proving that controversy can fuel commerce when executed with scale and conviction. It remains the gold standard for A-rated dominance. 3. Salaar Part 1: Ceasefire (Telugu, 2023) - 618 crores Director - Prashanth Neel Starring - Prabhas, Prithviraj Sukumara, Shruti Haasan A dark, violent, and thunderous action spectacle, Salaar: Ceasefire was largely believed to have underperformed at the box office despite big numbers. However, despite its A-rating, the Prabhas-led film stormed the worldwide box office, driven by massive openings across multiple territories and sustained mass appeal. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) 4. Coolie (Tamil, 2025) - 518 crores Director - Lokesh Kanagaraj Starring - Rajinikanth, Nagarjuna, Shruti Haasan, Upendra, Aamir Khan The film surprised with its adult-rating, which eventually proved to be a roadblock for its overall potential. Coolie, headlined by superstar Rajinikanth, combined raw storytelling with commercial sensibilities. The film received mixed word of mouth, which helped it to cross the 500 crores milestone. 5. Kabir Singh (Hindi, 2019) - 377 crores Director - Sandeep Reddy Vanga Starring - Shahid Kapoor, Kiara Advani The film that changed the game before the era of mega-scale A-rated actioners. Kabir Singh thrived on its obsessive romance, flawed protagonist, and intense emotional pitch, becoming the highest-grossing adult-certified film of its time and laying the foundation for what followed. S. No. Movie India Gross Collection Overseas Collection Worldwide Collection 1 Dhurandhar (2025) 729.00 crore 215.00 crore 944.00 crore 2 Animal (2023) 660.00 crore 255.00 crore 915.00 crore 3 Salaar: Ceasefire (2023) 488.00 crore 130.00 crore 618.00 crore 4 Coolie (2025) 337.50 crore 180.50 crore 518.00 crore 5 Kabir Singh (2019) 330.00 crore 47.00 crore 377.00 crore Note: Data as of December 24, 2025.

Maddock Films' Ikkis Postponed By A Week Amid Dhurandhar Storm

Mumbai, December 17 — Producer Dinesh Vijan's Maddock Films has postponed the release of its much-anticipated war drama Ikkis by a week amid the extraordinary box office dominance of Ranveer Singh-fronted Dhurandhar.
