What started amid massive pre-release negativity has ended in historic glory. Dhurandhar, directed by Aditya Dhar and headlined by Ranveer Singh, has officially wrapped up its theatrical run — and what a run it has been.
From smashing long-standing box office benchmarks to rewriting post-pandemic records, Dhurandhar didn’t just perform well. It dominated. Co-starring Akshaye Khanna, R Madhavan, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, and Sara Arjun, the spy-action thriller has cemented itself as one of Hindi cinema’s biggest success stories.
Let’s break down its final numbers and the 25 historic records it achieved.
Dhurandhar Box Office Collection
After a 70-day-long glorious run, Dhurandhar concluded its domestic journey with a staggering ₹894.49 crore net collection in India.
Despite arriving only in the Hindi belt, the film achieved what no other Bollywood film has managed before. It became the only Bollywood film in the 800 crore club.
Even more significantly, it surpassed Pushpa 2: The Rule (₹836.09 crore in Hindi) to become the highest-grossing Hindi film of all time.
The footfalls tell an even bigger story. With 3.6 crore admissions, Dhurandhar emerged as the most-watched Bollywood film in the post-pandemic era. The momentum did not slow down even after its OTT release. That consistency is rare.
Dhurandhar Total Collection
- Budget: ₹225 crore
- India Net: ₹894.49 crore
- India Gross: ₹1002.39 crore
- ROI: ₹669.49 crore
- ROI%: 297.55%
- Verdict: All Time Blockbuster
For a film made on a reported ₹225 crore budget, the lifetime returns are massive. A ₹669.49 crore profit in India alone places it among the most profitable ventures in recent Hindi cinema history.
Dhurandhar Worldwide Box Office – Global Domination
Dhurandhar was not just a domestic phenomenon. It conquered international markets too.
Worldwide Collection
- Overseas Gross: ₹299.35 crore
- Worldwide Gross: ₹1354.84 crore
The film emerged as the second-highest-grossing Bollywood film worldwide, only behind Dangal, which grossed ₹2059.04 crore globally.
What makes this achievement even more remarkable is the context. Dhurandhar was banned in Gulf countries and was not released in China. In contrast, Dangal enjoyed a strong China run that significantly boosted its global numbers.
Despite these limitations, Dhurandhar clocked over ₹1354 crore worldwide. That says everything about its global pull.

From Pre-Release Negativity To Box Office Throne
Before release, Dhurandhar faced heavy skepticism. Debates around its subject, tone, and comparisons flooded social media. But once it hit theatres, audiences spoke louder than any controversy.
Word of mouth turned into momentum. Momentum turned into a wave. And that wave turned into a tsunami at the box office.
The synergy between Aditya Dhar’s direction and Ranveer Singh’s performance played a crucial role in sustaining interest week after week.
All Eyes On The Sequel
The journey does not end here. Dhurandhar: The Revenge is already scheduled for release on March 19, 2026.
The excitement is high. But so is the challenge. The sequel will face a major theatrical clash with Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups, starring Yash.
If the first part’s momentum carries forward, we may witness another historic chapter in 2026.
Conclusion
Dhurandhar has officially wrapped up its theatrical run as an All Time Blockbuster. With ₹894.49 crore net in India and ₹1354.84 crore worldwide, it has redefined the commercial ceiling for Hindi cinema.
More than just numbers, it has proven that content backed by conviction can overcome negativity and market limitations.
Twenty-five historic records. A 70-day run. And a sequel is already on the horizon. All hail, Aditya Dhar.
