Ranveer Singh’s action thriller Dhurandhar has emerged as the highest-grossing Indian film of 2025, overtaking major releases such as Kantara: Chapter 1, Chhaava, and Stree 2 at the worldwide box office.
Despite witnessing its first sub-₹20 crore domestic day on Monday, the film has maintained strong momentum globally, completing an impressive 18-day run at the box office.
Dhurandhar Box Office Performance
On its third weekend, Dhurandhar collected a robust ₹95 crore net in India, even as it faced competition from James Cameron’s Avatar: Fire and Ash. On Monday, the film saw a nearly 60% weekday drop, earning ₹16 crore net, a respectable figure at this stage of its run.
With this, the film’s domestic total stands at ₹571.75 crore net, translating to approximately ₹686 crore gross in India after 18 days.
Strong Overseas Run Boosts Global Total
Internationally, Dhurandhar has continued to perform steadily despite losing screens to Avatar 3. The film has now crossed $20.5 million overseas, pushing its worldwide collection to around ₹872 crore.
Trade analysts expect the film to cross the ₹900 crore mark shortly and potentially enter the top 10 highest-grossing Indian films of all time, surpassing Animal and Secret Superstar (₹915 crore each).
Biggest Indian Film of 2025
On Monday, Dhurandhar officially surpassed:
Kantara: Chapter 1 (₹852 crore)
Stree 2 (₹857 crore)
Chhaava (₹807 crore)
With this milestone, the film has secured its position as India’s top box-office performer of 2025. Industry watchers are now keenly tracking whether it will cross the ₹1,000 crore global benchmark in the coming weeks.
