According to trade figures, Dhurandhar has collected ₹575 crore-plus in India, overtaking Animal, which closed its India run at ₹556 crore, and Pathaan, which earned ₹525 crore domestically. What has truly stunned the industry is the speed at which Dhurandhar achieved this milestone.
While Animal took over 30 days to cross the ₹500 crore mark, Dhurandhar accomplished the same feat in just 15 days, underlining the film’s unprecedented momentum at the box office.
Another factor amplifying the film’s success is its single-language release. Unlike recent blockbusters such as Animal and Pathaan, which benefited from multi-language versions and pan-India releases, Dhurandhar relied solely on one language to pull in massive footfalls across the country. Despite this limitation, the film has outperformed its competitors in record time.
Trade analysts attribute the film’s phenomenal run to strong word of mouth, repeat audience viewings, and sustained occupancy across urban and mass centres. The consistent weekday collections further indicate that the film’s appeal extends well beyond the initial opening weekend hype.
With its current pace, Dhurandhar is expected to continue adding significant numbers in the coming days, potentially setting new benchmarks for single-language releases in India.
As the box office race intensifies, Dhurandhar has firmly established itself not just as a blockbuster, but as a game-changer in Indian cinema’s theatrical landscape.
