Dhurandhar just keeps rolling. On its third Sunday, the film pulled in an estimated ₹40 crore nett, yes, on Day 17. Even with big competition from Hollywood’s Avatar: Fire and Ash, Dhurandhar is grabbing headlines everywhere. Each time you think it’s peaked, it finds a new gear. This latest jump sets another daily record and shoves the movie closer to legendary status, shaking up what anyone thought a big Hindi release could do these days.

Look at the day-to-day numbers:

- Week 1: Fri ₹28.6 cr, Sat ₹33.1 cr, Sun ₹44.8 cr, Mon ₹24.3 cr, Tue ₹28.6 cr, Wed ₹29.2 cr, Thu ₹29.4 cr
- Week 2: Fri ₹34.7 cr, Sat ₹53.7 cr, Sun ₹58.2 cr, Mon ₹31.8 cr, Tue ₹32.1 cr, Wed ₹25.7 cr, Thu ₹25.3 cr
- Week 3: Fri ₹23.7 cr, Sat ₹35.7 cr, Sun ~ ₹40 cr

- Total after Day 17: About ₹579 crore (India net, as per estimates)

Right now, the numbers are wild. Dhurandhar has already raked in about ₹579 crore nett in India by Day 17, with packed theaters over the weekend and momentum still building. And it’s not just India, it’s blowing up globally too. The film has stormed into the ₹800 crore global club, leapfrogging hits like Animal and joining the elite ranks of Bollywood blockbusters faster than anyone expected.

It’s kind of funny, looking back. When Dhurandhar dropped on December 5, 2025, nobody saw this coming. The buzz was quiet, the mood was cautious, and some folks even tried to stir up a boycott before the release. A lot of critics dismissed it, saying the urban action genre wouldn’t draw crowds. Well, those predictions didn’t last long. Word spread, people kept going back, and suddenly the film’s daily numbers were not just beating its own opening weekend, they were outpacing some of the year’s biggest releases.

This third Sunday? It actually made more money than most people thought it would earn at launch. That’s not normal, and people are taking notice.

Now, the record books are in sight. Dhurandhar is on track to smash some of Hindi cinema’s biggest box office records. It’s already topping the lifetime business of movies like Gadar 2, Animal, and Pathaan on several counts. With the holiday season just kicking off, insiders are pretty much convinced it’ll cross ₹700 crore nett in India, maybe even hit ₹800 crore. If it does, that puts Dhurandhar ahead of Pushpa 2 (Hindi) as the biggest original Hindi film ever at the Indian box office. And globally? The film’s still climbing the all-time charts. Some analysts think it could go even higher.

So what’s behind this wild ride? Dhurandhar isn’t leaning on regional dubbed versions for support. Its popularity comes down to sharp storytelling, electric performances from Ranveer Singh and Akshaye Khanna, and audiences who just refuse to let go. Most films fade out by week three, but this one’s still growing.

The whole story around Dhurandhar has flipped. It’s not just about beating the odds anymore, it’s about setting a new standard. Skeptics have turned into fans. The film has gone from a risky bet to a full-blown phenomenon, changing the game for what an original Hindi action thriller can be. And with the holidays in full swing, everyone’s watching to see just how far Dhurandhar can go.
