In a remarkable feat for Bollywood, Aditya Dhar's spy action thriller Dhurandhar, starring Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, and R. Madhavan, has rewritten box office history. Released on December 5, 2025, the film has not only captivated audiences with its gripping narrative of espionage and patriotism but has also achieved unprecedented commercial success.
As of January 27, 2026, Dhurandhar has grossed an astounding Rs 1,344.74 crore worldwide, including Rs 1,051.71 crore domestically and Rs 293.03 crore overseas. This makes it the highest-grossing Hindi film in India, surpassing Pushpa 2: The Rule on January 7, 2026, and marking it as the most successful Bollywood release in the post-COVID era.
The film entered the elite Rs 1,000 crore club on December 26, 2025, becoming the fourth Hindi film to do so. More impressively, it is the first Indian film to gross over Rs 1,000 crore net in a single language — Hindi — breaking barriers for monolingual releases. In its eighth week, Dhurandhar netted Rs 4.50 crore in the first five days, shattering a 25-year-old record for eighth-week collections previously held by Gadar: Ek Prem Katha (2001). This achievement came amid competition from Sunny Deol's Border 2, highlighting the film's enduring appeal.
With over 3.50 crore footfalls, Dhurandhar is the first Bollywood film since Dangal to reach this milestone in Hindi alone. Made on a budget of Rs 225 crore, it has delivered massive returns, proving content-driven cinema's power. As it gears up for its Netflix debut on January 30, 2026, the film's run continues to inspire, setting new benchmarks for the industry.
