Dhurandhar Movie Box Office Collection in India & Worldwide
The movie industry in the Indian subcontinent has experienced a massive overhaul this December as Aditya Dhar’s ‘Dhurandhar’ is on a roll. This spy action thriller, which was launched on the 5th of December, 2025, has not only proved its worth, but it has also set a fresh set of parameters for all Bollywood films.
Featuring a strong ensemble cast that includes Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, and Arjun Rampal, the movie has turned out to be a phenomenon where the factors that attract maximum audiences to the box office are strong storytelling and strong acting.
India Box Office: The Fastest To Reach ₹500 Crore
The Indian market, or the home market, has seen the likes of Dhurandhar, which was no less than a juggernaut. Many big-budget films tend to experience the “Monday dip,” but this film’s graph presented an unusual pattern, where the second week was seen to be performing better than the initial week.
• Opening Week: The movie opened its sojourn with a satisfactory ₹218 crore nett in India.
• Second Week Miracle: Contrary to box office trends, the film amassed ₹261.50 crore in the second week, registering an enormous growth of 20% from the previous week.
• The ₹500 Crore Mark: As of the 15th Day (December 19, 2025), the domestic nett sales for the film are approximately ₹483 crore, with initial estimates suggesting that the film has entered the coveted ₹500 crore club today. The film thus emerges as one of the quickest entries in the elite league afterPushpa 2 and the highly awaited Jawan.

Why Dhurandhar is a Game Changer
Industry insiders trace the reasons behind this record-breaking streak to the following unique qualities that distinguish it from other Bollywood films:

On Friday, the total collection of “Dhurandhar” (₹22.5 cr) actually exceeded that of “Avatar’s” first day.
