Join Telegram ChannelOn Day 21, Dhurandhar raked in an estimated ₹24 crore, thanks to the Christmas holiday boost. This surge represents nearly a 30 percent increase compared to mid-week collections, showcasing that audience interest remains incredibly strong even in its third week. By the end of this week, the film has amassed around ₹162 crore net, officially marking the largest third-week collection in the history of the Hindi box office.
No other film has even come close to hitting the ₹100 crore mark during this same timeframe. The total collection now stands at about ₹601 crore net in India, placing Dhurandhar in an exclusive club typically reserved for pan-Indian blockbusters. Currently, it’s just behind Pushpa 2: The Rule (Hindi version), but industry trends indicate that Ranveer Singh’s spy thriller could very well surpass it in the weeks to come.
With the New Year holidays approaching, industry experts are predicting another massive surge, with the fourth week alone expected to contribute over ₹100 crore, bringing the film closer to the ₹700 crore milestone.

Beyond the impressive numbers, Dhurandhar is also breaking records in terms of audience turnout. The film is projected to surpass 3 crore admissions sometime next week, making it only the fifth Bollywood film to achieve this feat in the post-pandemic era, joining the ranks of Pathaan, Gadar 2, Jawan, and Stree 2.
Trade estimates suggest that by the end of its theatrical run, Dhurandhar could reach 3.5 crore footfalls, putting it in striking distance of Dangal as one of the most-watched Hindi films of the last two decades.
One of the key reasons behind this incredible success is the film’s star-studded cast, which includes Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, and Sara Arjun. With the backing of Jio Studios and B62 Studios, the film masterfully combines thrilling action with deep emotional drama, offering viewers a cinematic experience that keeps them coming back for more.
What started as a promising debut has now turned into a record-setting journey. As Dhurandhar confidently strides into its fourth week, everyone is eager to see just how far this cinematic phenomenon will go. One thing is for sure—the film has already carved out its place in Bollywood history, and the excitement is far from over.
