Dhurandhar’ Box Office Day 25: Ranveer Singh’s Blockbuster Crosses ₹1,078 Crore Worldwide
The box office run of Dhurandhar has turned into one of the most remarkable success stories in recent Indian cinema. On its 25th day in theatres, the Ranveer Singh–led film crossed a staggering ₹1,078 crore worldwide, placing it firmly among the biggest Indian blockbusters of all time.
With this achievement, the film has moved ahead of the global lifetime collections of Kalki 2898 AD and Pathaan, two films that had earlier set high benchmarks at the box office.
What makes this feat stand out is not just the size of the numbers, but the pace and consistency with which Dhurandhar has sustained audience interest weeks after its release.
A Rarely Seen Hold After Three Weeks
By Day 25, most big-ticket films usually struggle to draw crowds. Dhurandhar, however, continues to perform strongly across multiplexes and single-screen theatres alike. From metropolitan cities to smaller towns, the film still enjoys healthy footfalls, driven largely by positive word of mouth and repeat viewers.

Trade trackers note that the fourth week added steady numbers rather than showing a sharp decline. This rare stability has played a crucial role in pushing the film past the ₹1,000 crore milestone. Unlike several recent releases that witnessed front-loaded collections, Dhurandhar built momentum over time and maintained it.
Surpassing ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ and ‘Pathaan’
Crossing ₹1,078 crore worldwide places Dhurandhar ahead of two massive crowd-pullers. Kalki 2898 AD attracted attention with its ambitious sci-fi vision and scale, while Pathaan marked a turning point for Hindi cinema’s post-pandemic recovery through its massive overseas earnings.
By overtaking both, Dhurandhar has entered an elite bracket of Indian films that deliver equally strong performances at home and abroad. Industry experts see this as a sign of evolving audience preferences, where content, scale, and star power combine to drive long-term success.
Why ‘Dhurandhar’ Connected With Audiences
Several factors worked in the film’s favour. Ranveer Singh’s energetic and emotionally layered performance received widespread appreciation and played a major role in pulling audiences to theatres. Many viewers and critics consider this one of his most impactful roles in recent years.

The film’s narrative blended action, emotion, and drama in a way that appealed to different age groups. Well-designed action sequences, coupled with strong character arcs, kept viewers engaged throughout. The music and background score also helped the film stay relevant on social media, where dialogues and scenes continued to trend weeks after release.
Timing proved equally important. With limited competition from other major releases, Dhurandhar enjoyed a long, uninterrupted run, allowing it to capitalise fully on positive audience response.
India vs Overseas Box Office
India remains the backbone of Dhurandhar’s box office success, but overseas markets have significantly boosted its global total. The film performed exceptionally well in regions with large Indian diaspora populations, including North America, the Middle East, Australia, and parts of Europe.
Even in its third and fourth weekends, international theatres reported strong occupancy. Trade analysts believe this balance between domestic and overseas earnings has transformed Dhurandhar into a truly global success rather than a film dependent on a single market.
Setting the Tone for 2025
With its Day 25 collection crossing ₹1,078 crore worldwide, Dhurandhar has set a formidable benchmark for films releasing in 2025. The success has further strengthened Ranveer Singh’s reputation as one of the most bankable stars in Indian cinema today.
As the film continues its theatrical run, industry watchers expect the final lifetime collection to climb even higher, depending on how long it retains screens in key markets. For now, Dhurandhar stands as a defining box office triumph—one that has reshaped expectations and rewritten records.
