‘No Fake Bookings,’ Say Netizens as Dhurandhar Movie Becomes First ₹1,000 Crore Hindi Film

Dhurandhar is still doing well at the domestic box office even two months after it was released. In its first six weeks of release, the Aditya Dhar movie broke records for daily receipts, week after week. The movie has now reached a new high in its eighth week, making it the fourth movie in Indian cinema history to earn more than ₹1000 crore. Dhurandhar is the sole Bollywood movie on the list; all the other movies are from the south.

The spy-action thriller, which debuted on December 5, 2025, has captured the hearts of viewers with its intense action, compelling narrative, and Ranveer Singh's captivating portrayal of a secret agent. The way Dhurandhar reached audiences is what made its popularity even more astounding. The filmmakers trusted the film's content and let word-of-mouth and critical acclaim speak for themselves instead of depending on ostentatious advertisements.

Dhurandhar earned ₹2.9 crore net in India during its ninth weekend, with an additional ₹1.25 crore on Republic Day. Dhurandhar's domestic collection surpassed ₹1000 crore on January 26, its 53rd day in cinemas. In India, the movie has now made ₹1002 crore gross (₹835 crore net). With a domestic gross of ₹760 crore, Shah Rukh Khan's Hindi film Jawan held the previous record.

In just 21 days, Dhurandhar crossed the Rs 1000 crore global milestone, becoming a member of a select group of Indian films that have won over audiences worldwide. Films that blend spectacle and narrative have reached previously unheard-of heights at the international box office, from the epic triumphs of Baahubali 2 to the pan-Indian hit Pushpa 2.

Despite being prohibited in the Middle East, Dhurandhar has been a huge hit elsewhere as well, making over $33 million in other markets. As of January 28, its global gross was close to ₹1300 crore. Aditya Dhar is the director of the spy thriller, which features Ranveer in the title character alongside Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, and Arjun Rampal. The story will be concluded with the publication of Dhurandhar 2 in March.
