Dhurandhar Box Office Triumph: Ranveer Singh's Spy Actioner Delivers Third Biggest Bollywood Opening of 2025

Ranveer Singh has roared back into the box office game, and this time, he's done it in a brand new avatar. His first foray into the spy genre, Dhurandhar, has not only impressed critics and audiences but has also set the cash registers ringing. The film has delivered a powerful performance on its opening day, establishing a new personal record for the actor and shaking up this year's box office rankings.

Garnering positive buzz and a strong IMDb rating of 7.8, the Aditya Dhar directorial opened to a massive ₹27 crore (India net) on its first day. This impressive figure marks Ranveer Singh's biggest opening day ever, surpassing his previous blockbusters like the historical epic Padmaavat and the high-octane cop drama Simmba.

With this powerful start, Dhurandhar has stormed into the top rankings for 2025 openings. It has secured the third position, racing ahead of major releases like Salman Khan's Sikandar (₹26 cr) and the star-studded Housefull 5 (₹24 cr). The film currently stands just behind War 2 (₹29 cr) and the year's biggest opener, Chhaava (₹31 cr).
