A movie called Dhurandhar has surprised everyone at the box office. It came out on December 5, 2025, and exactly one month later, it is still doing very well. Aditya Dhar directed it, and Ranveer Singh plays the main role. This action movie started strong and kept getting better. It broke many records in Hindi films.
On its first day in India, which was a Friday, it made 28 crore rupees net. This was the biggest opening day ever for Ranveer Singh. The next day, Saturday, it gained more speed. By Sunday, it earned 44.80 crore rupees. That was Ranveer's highest single-day collection in his whole career. It beat his earlier record from Padmaavat, which was 32 crore rupees.
This strong Sunday helped Dhurandhar become the second biggest first-weekend earner of 2025. It was just behind Chhaava. Soon, the total in India reached 240.30 crore rupees net. This made it Ranveer Singh's highest earning movie in almost seven years. It was his second biggest overall.
It passed Simmba. For director Aditya Dhar, who made Uri: The Surgical Strike before, this was special. The 44.80 crore Sunday day was double his old best of 17.17 crore rupees. Now, Dhurandhar is his top movie.
What made Dhurandhar different was how well it did on regular weekdays, not just weekends. On its first Tuesday, it collected 28.60 crore rupees. This was the highest first Tuesday for any movie in 2025. It did better than big films like Chhaava and Saiyaara. By the end of the first week, it had 207.25 crore rupees net in India. People kept coming to watch it even after the first few days.
The second weekend was historic. On the second Sunday, it earned 59 crore rupees. This was the biggest second Sunday ever in Hindi cinema. It beat Pushpa 2: The Rule's 54 crore rupees. Over the whole second weekend, it made 140 to 146 crore rupees net. This was the highest second-weekend total for any Hindi or Indian film. It also broke Day 10 records that Jawan, Stree 2, and Animal held before.
The movie grew very fast. It became the quickest Hindi film to reach 500 crore rupees net in India. This happened by Day 16. Around the world, it hit 500 crore, 600 crore, 800 crore, and 1,000 crore rupees faster than any other film. By Day 16, it passed Gadar 2's full India net collection of 525 crore rupees.
On its 26th day, Dhurandhar joined the 700 crore rupees net club in India. No other Bollywood movie did this so quickly. By Day 30, India net total was 800 crore rupees. Worldwide, in just 24 days, it crossed 1,100 crore rupees.
Its final worldwide total was 1,240 crore rupees. This made it the highest grossing Hindi film ever. It went past KGF: Chapter 2's 1,200 crore rupees and Pathaan's about 1,055 crore rupees. Reports from Comscore say it even entered the top 5 most-watched films at the US box office.
Even after one full month, the movie did not slow down. On Day 31, it earned 13.50 crore rupees. This was the highest collection for any Hindi movie's fifth weekend. In India, the total reached 820.30 crore rupees net.
Here is the week-by-week split: Week 1 made 218 crore rupees, Week 2 made 261.5 crore rupees, Week 3 made 189.3 crore rupees, and Week 4 made 115.70 crore rupees. It even crossed 100 crore rupees just in the fourth week.
