Ranveer Singh has firmly cemented his position as a box office titan with his latest release, the espionage action-thriller 'Dhurandhar'. The film, which hit screens on December 5th, has concluded its extended first week on a phenomenal high, showcasing unparalleled hold and setting new benchmarks for the industry.
On its 8th day, which marked its second Friday, the Aditya Dhar directorial delivered a staggering performance. According to early trade estimates, 'Dhurandhar' pulled in an impressive collection of ₹25.38 crore (nett in India). This sensational second Friday collection is higher than its opening day and several weekdays, signaling exceptional audience reception and strong word-of-mouth.
Overtakes 'War 2' and Other Big Hits
This massive haul has propelled the film's total domestic net collection to an estimated ₹232.63 crore in just eight days. With this milestone, 'Dhurandhar' has officially surpassed the lifetime domestic collection of several major Bollywood releases, including the Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR starrer 'War 2', whose first-week collection stood at ₹204.25 crore and Day 8 collection was ₹5 crore (as per Sacnilk.com data).
The Ranveer Singh-led film has also comfortably eclipsed the lifetime domestic totals of other 2025 blockbusters like Raid 2 (₹173.05 crore), Rocky Aur Rani ki Prem Kahani (₹153.55 crore), and Sikandar (₹109.83 crore).
Targeting New Records
The film's performance is being hailed as a defining moment for Ranveer Singh, showcasing a completely restrained and critically-acclaimed performance from the star. The strong collections point towards a monumental second weekend, with industry experts predicting a continuation of its unstoppable run through the Christmas and New Year period.
'Dhurandhar', which also features stellar supporting performances from Akshaye Khanna, Arjun Rampal, R Madhavan, and Sanjay Dutt, is now poised to challenge even bigger all-time records, setting its sights on the coveted ₹500 crore club. The film, which is based on a compelling true-life inspired espionage plot, has clearly resonated with audiences, promising a phenomenal theatrical run.
