Mumbai, December 14, 2025 : Ranveer Singh’s latest spy action thriller Dhurandhar has stormed the box office, emerging as one of the biggest cinematic successes of 2025. Directed by Aditya Dhar, the high-budget espionage drama continues its unstoppable run in theaters both in India and overseas, redefining the December release window for Bollywood blockbusters.
Released on December 5, 2025, Dhurandhar features Ranveer Singh in a powerful, high-octane avatar alongside an ensemble cast including Akshaye Khanna and Sanjay Dutt. With its gripping narrative rooted in espionage, patriotism, and underworld intrigue, the film has resonated strongly with audiences despite its extended runtime of over three hours.
As of Day 9 (December 14, 2025), the film has recorded a sharp surge during its second weekend. Early trade estimates place Dhurandhar’s worldwide box office collection between ₹360 and ₹375 crore. The film’s domestic net collection stands at approximately ₹242 crore, while India gross has touched ₹287 crore. Overseas markets have contributed an impressive ₹74 crore, driven largely by strong turnout in North America and the Middle East.
The blockbuster has now officially become the sixth highest-grossing Hindi film of 2025, overtaking big-ticket releases such as War 2. Notably, Dhurandhar has also set a record for the highest second-Friday collection in Hindi cinema this year, outperforming previous December hits like Animal (2023) and Pushpa 2 (2024) in several day-wise comparisons.
Trade analysts credit the film’s success to positive word-of-mouth, packed multiplexes in urban centers, and the absence of major competition. The film has also reaffirmed Ranveer Singh’s box office pull while underscoring Aditya Dhar’s directorial strength following his earlier hits.
Amid a strong year for Indian cinema featuring historical epics and pan-India spectacles, Dhurandhar currently dominates headlines as a trend-setting blockbuster, reshaping end-of-year box office dynamics and reviving December as a lucrative release window for big-budget Bollywood films.
