Dhurandhar has rewritten the Bollywood box office record books. The Ranveer Singh-led spy thriller has emerged as the highest-grossing Hindi film ever in India, overtaking long-standing benchmarks set
by recent blockbusters.
On its 22nd day in cinemas, the Aditya Dhar directorial added a little over ₹15 crore to its tally, taking its net domestic collection to ₹648 crore. With this, Dhurandhar has surpassed the lifetime earnings of Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan, which had collected ₹640 crore in India, and claimed the top spot among Bollywood releases.
The film has shown remarkable consistency since release, crossing major milestones in quick succession. Before edging past Jawan, it had already overtaken the domestic totals of Chhaava (₹601 crore) and Stree 2 (₹598 crore), firmly establishing itself as the biggest Hindi film at the Indian box office. Trade estimates suggest the film is now on course to cross ₹700 crore domestically and could even challenge Pushpa 2: The Rule for the highest Hindi collections in India.
With Dhurandhar entering the ₹600 crore-plus bracket, the list of Bollywood films earning over ₹500 crore net in India continues to grow. Titles in this club include Animal (₹553 crore), Pathaan (₹543 crore) and Gadar 2 (₹525 crore). Pathaan had earlier become the first Hindi film to cross ₹500 crore domestically, ending Aamir Khan’s Dangal seven-year reign at the top with ₹387 crore.
Several pan-India releases in their Hindi versions have also posted massive numbers. Baahubali 2 collected ₹511 crore in Hindi, while Pushpa 2: The Rule currently holds the record for the highest domestic collection by a Hindi film at ₹812 crore. It also leads overall Indian box office earnings across all languages with ₹1234 crore net, with Baahubali 2 being the only other film to cross ₹1000 crore in India.
In Dhurandhar, Ranveer Singh plays Hamza, an Indian intelligence operative sent deep into Pakistan to dismantle terror and crime networks operating out of Karachi. The film also features Akshaye Khanna, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt and R Madhavan in key roles. A sequel is already in the pipeline, with Dhurandhar Part 2 slated for release in March 2026.
