December 24, 2025, the film earned ₹17.75 crore, with an overall Hindi occupancy of 32.52%. This consistent performance,
even in its third week, demonstrates the film's enduring appeal and strong word-of-mouth.
The film's day-wise collection figures reveal a consistent upward trajectory, particularly during weekends. Its strong
performance has allowed it to maintain a lead over other releases, including 'Avatar: Fire and Ash,' which collected
₹10.25 crore on its sixth day, bringing its total to ₹95.75 crore. 'Dhurandhar' cleverly positions itself for continued
success with the scheduled release of its sequel on March 19, 2026, in multiple languages, including Tamil, Telugu,
'Dhurandhar' stars Ranveer Singh as an Indian spy infiltrating terror networks in Pakistan. The film boasts a stellar
supporting cast, including Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, Akshaye Khanna, Arjun Rampal, and Sara Arjun. This ensemble adds
depth and gravitas to the narrative, enhancing the overall viewing experience.

of Bollywood. The film's genre, a high-octane espionage thriller, combined with a strong narrative and compelling
performances, has resonated with audiences seeking engaging and thought-provoking entertainment. This victory could pave
the way for more such films in the future, encouraging filmmakers to explore diverse themes and genres.
Furthermore, 'Dhurandhar's' global success highlights the increasing reach and influence of Indian cinema on the
international stage. Surpassing ₹900 crore worldwide demonstrates the film's ability to transcend geographical
boundaries and appeal to a global audience. This achievement underscores the potential of Bollywood to compete with
Hollywood and other major film industries.
Aditya Dhar's direction has also been a crucial element in the film's success. His vision and execution have transformed
a potentially formulaic spy thriller into a compelling and immersive cinematic experience. The audience has appreciated
the performances by every cast member. The film's success can be attributed to a combination of factors, including a
strong script, talented cast, skilled direction, and effective marketing. As 'Dhurandhar' continues its run in theaters,
it is poised to set even more records and further solidify its place in Bollywood history. The success of the movie will
likely push the envelope on content creation in the spy genre.
