Dhurandhar Box Office Performance Overview

Historic Run Continues in Week 6

Despite facing new releases like Happy Patel, One Two Cha Cha, and Rahu Ketu, Dhurandhar collected ₹3 crore on its 6th Wednesday, benefiting from the Makar Sankranti festival. The film’s 6th-week collections reached ₹22.50 crore, surpassing Stree 2‘s record, cementing its place in Indian cinema history.

The Ranveer Singh starrer registered 11.64% overall occupancy on its 5th Monday, demonstrating sustained audience interest more than five weeks post-release. Evening shows peaked at 14.41% occupancy, indicating strong word-of-mouth momentum.

Breaking International Records

Dhurandhar has become a global phenomenon, particularly in North America where it grossed $21 million, overtaking Baahubali 2‘s eight-year-old record of $20.7 million to become the highest-grossing Indian film in the USA. The film also tops the charts as the biggest Indian film in Canada and Australia.

Notably, these achievements are more impressive considering Dhurandhar maintained standard ticket pricing ($11-14) compared to previous blockbusters that used enhanced pricing ($25-40). The film was banned in Gulf Cooperation Council countries, yet managed remarkable overseas success through North America, UK, and Australia.

What Makes Dhurandhar Special?

The 214-minute espionage thriller features an ensemble cast including Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, and Arjun Rampal. The film depicts an anti-terror covert operation where an undercover agent infiltrates Karachi’s criminal underworld, loosely based on real-life events including the 1999 IC-814 hijacking and Operation Lyari.

Critics have praised the film’s ambitious scale, with Bollywood Hungama calling it “a well-made, ambitious big-screen experience” and The Times of India labeling it a “power-packed Karachi mafia thriller.” The film received mixed-to-positive reviews with 47% critics’ approval on Rotten Tomatoes.

Produced by Jio Studios and B62 Studios, Dhurandhar represents the first installment of a two-part series, keeping audiences eager for its conclusion. The film will begin streaming on Netflix from January 30, 2026, having secured digital rights for ₹130-285 crore.
