What is the story about?
Aditya Dhar’s Bollywood film Dhurandhar has reached a remarkable milestone at the Indian box office, selling more than 4 crore tickets (40 million) in India.
The Ranveer Singh-starrer opened on December 5, 2025, with an impressive but not record-breaking box office performance. Nevertheless, the film’s popularity was fuelled by positive publicity and public attention.
Box office experts estimate that during the seventh week of its run, Dhurandharearned about ₹800 crore net in India and ₹1,000 crore worldwide. This translates to nearly 4 crore foot traffic nationwide at an average ticket price of about ₹250.
As a result, Dhurandharhas become one of only 19 Indian films to ever attain or surpass 4 crore domestic viewers. The majority of films with such large ticket sales are older classics that were released decades ago, when attendance at the theatre was higher, and ticket costs were far lower.
Sholay, Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, Mughal-e-Azam, and Mother India are among the greatest-selling films ever, with each one selling over 10 crore tickets.
Aditya Dhar's espionage thriller, which centres on an Indian intelligence officer, also features R Madhavan, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, and Akshaye Khanna. Its compelling plot and solid ensemble cast encouraged viewers to watch it repeatedly.
It has sold more tickets than many recent blockbusters, despite stiff competition from recent bestsellers. It has drawn more audiences than Dangal (3.7 crore), Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (3.1 crore), Border (3.7 crore), PK (3.5 crore), and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (3.5 crore), which were all huge successes.
Adding to the excitement, the makers recently released the teaser for Dhurandhar 2. Viewers and critics noted that the teaser provides a safe but unforgettable first look at the sequel by only using footage from the original movie.
In the teaser poster, Singh appeared long-haired, heavily bearded man wearing a Pathani kurta with a revolver in hand. He was caught in mid-motion in what appeared to be a panning image, slightly out of focus.
The official sequel, Dhurandhar: The Revenge, is set for release on March 19, 2026, and viewers are eager to see if it will maintain the franchise's unprecedented success.
