Shattering Benchmarks: Comparisons with Industry Giants
The true measure of Dhurandhar’s success lies in its comparison with previous industry titans.
- Surpassing KGF: Chapter 2 and RRR: Just this week, the film surpassed the lifetime India net of KGF: Chapter 2 (₹859.7 crore according to some tracking, though Dhurandhar is officially recognized as the 3rd highest grosser in the country). It has also overtaken the worldwide gross of RRR (₹1,230 crore) to become the 4th highest-grossing Indian film of all time.
- Beating Pushpa 2 (Hindi): In the Hindi market specifically, Dhurandhar has achieved the unthinkable by overtaking the lifetime Hindi net of Pushpa 2: The Rule (₹830 crore) to become the highest-earning single-language Hindi film in history.
- Dominating the 2025 Charts: Within its own release year, it comfortably outperformed other massive hits like Kantara: Chapter 1 and Chhaava, making it the undisputed King of the 2025 box office.
A Legacy of Consistency
Unlike most films that lose momentum after the third week, Dhurandhar has shown extraordinary longevity. It holds the record for being the first Hindi film to cross the ₹100 crore mark in its fourth week alone. Even in its sixth week, it recorded the highest sixth weekend collection in Hindi cinema history (₹16.55 crore), comfortably beating Stree 2. The film’s adult-rated status was initially seen as a hurdle, but it has defied odds to maintain an average occupancy of 12-15% even in its seventh week.
The Road Ahead: Dhurandhar 2
With no major big-budget releases until Border 2 on January 23, 2026, Dhurandhar is expected to enjoy another week of uninterrupted dominance. The hype generated by this historic run has already fueled massive anticipation for the sequel. Dhurandhar 2 is officially scheduled for release on March 19, 2026, promising to continue the saga of Ranveer Singh’s relentless spy.
