Dhurandhar Box Office: Ranveer Singh’s Spy Thriller Crosses ₹200 Crore in 1st Week

Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar has delivered a blazing first week at the box office, emerging as one of the strongest openers of 2025. Powered by extraordinary word-of-mouth and Ranveer Singh’s commanding performance, the action-packed spy thriller has crossed the ₹200 crore nett milestone in India within seven days. According to the film’s team, Dhurandhar closed its first week with an estimated ₹218 crore nett, positioning it among the top-performing Hindi films in recent years.

What makes the film’s performance more impressive is its remarkable weekday consistency. Dhurandhar began its journey with a robust ₹28.60 crore nett opening on Friday. Instead of showing the usual weekday drop, the film maintained near-steady collections throughout the week, culminating in a Thursday figure of ₹29.40 crore nett — surpassing even its opening day number. Such a trend signals extraordinary audience retention and reflects rising footfalls driven by strong public reception.

The film’s impact is not limited to India. Dhurandhar is performing exceptionally well overseas, with impressive numbers from key markets including North America, the UK, UAE, Canada and Australia. As per trade updates, the global tally has crossed ₹300 crore in its first week. Analysts note that such worldwide stability is typically associated with big festive releases, yet Dhurandhar seems to have broken that pattern by generating festival-like momentum even on a non-holiday release date.

The spy thriller explores a dark, politically charged world involving gang wars, Pakistan’s internal power struggles, and the intersection of crime and terrorism. Viewers and critics alike have praised the film for its gripping storytelling, hard-hitting performances, dramatic score, and high-impact action sequences. Ranveer Singh’s portrayal of Hamza has been highlighted as one of his most mature and layered performances to date.

Given its current trajectory, Dhurandhar is expected to deliver a massive second weekend — potentially surpassing its opening weekend numbers. With daily earnings still in double digits and no major competition immediately ahead, the film is widely expected to cruise toward the ₹500 crore nett benchmark in India.

The ensemble cast — featuring Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, R Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Sara Arjun, Saumya Tandon, Gaurav Gera, Rakesh Bedi and others — has also drawn appreciation, adding depth and variety to the film’s intense narrative landscape.

With a blockbuster first week and unprecedented audience support, Dhurandhar has cemented itself as one of the standout commercial successes of the year.
