The multi-starrer spy thriller, Dhurandhar, featuring a powerful ensemble cast including Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, and R Madhavan, has cemented its place as a phenomenal box office success, displaying an unprecedented hold in its second week that has shattered multiple industry records.
The film’s sensational run is highlighted by its astounding performance on Day 11, its second Monday, where it set a new all-time record for the highest collection on a second Monday for an Indian film.
Early estimates suggest that Dhurandhar minted approximately ₹29 crore (net) on this weekday, a remarkable figure that surpasses the previous record held by Pushpa 2 (Hindi) by a substantial margin and even outshines its own Day 1 collection of ₹28 crore, indicating exceptional audience momentum and positive word-of-mouth.
This historic second Monday collection is the latest milestone in a theatrical journey defined by record-breaking consistency. The film’s second weekend itself was an absolute juggernaut, grossing a massive total of over ₹140 crore (net) and establishing the highest second weekend collection for any Indian film to date, overtaking the records of major blockbusters like Jawan, Animal, and Pushpa 2.
The cumulative effect of this stellar performance has propelled Dhurandhar to a towering India nett total of approximately ₹379.75 crore after 11 days. This puts the film on an accelerated trajectory to breach the coveted ₹400 crore domestic nett mark, a milestone it is projected to cross imminently. The gross domestic collection, a significant figure in its own right, stands even higher, estimated to be over ₹420 crore, a testament to the sheer volume of footfalls in theatres across the country.
Beyond the domestic shores, the Ranveer Singh-starrer has resonated powerfully with international audiences, contributing significantly to its monumental worldwide gross. Including an impressive overseas collection, which is reported to be around ₹123.25 crore (gross) after 11 days, the film’s global collection has already soared past the ₹540 crore mark.
This positions Dhurandhar strongly to quickly surpass the ₹550 crore worldwide target, solidifying its standing as one of the biggest global hits in Indian cinema history for the year.
This performance has not only made Dhurandhar the highest-grossing film of Ranveer Singh’s career, surpassing the lifetime collection of his previous records, but has also established a new benchmark for sustained box office success, demonstrating that high-quality content backed by stellar performances—particularly Akshaye Khanna’s highly praised portrayal—can overcome mixed critical reviews and generate organic, long-lasting appeal.
The film’s extraordinary success on a non-holiday weekday like its second Monday underscores the potent combination of Aditya Dhar’s directorial vision, the compelling narrative inspired by real events, and the star power of its lead actors, which has successfully captivated and sustained audience interest deep into its theatrical run.
