In a monumental achievement for Indian cinema, filmmaker Aditya Dhar’s latest directorial, ‘Dhurandhar’, has officially become the highest-grossing Hindi film of all time at the domestic box office. The high-octane spy thriller, starring Ranveer Singh, has shattered previous records by crossing a staggering ₹831 crore nett in India.
The milestone was reached on Tuesday, January 6, 2026 (Day 33), as the film continued its unstoppable theatrical run. By earning ₹5.70 crore on its fifth Tuesday, the film’s cumulative India nett total rose to ₹831.40 crore, effectively overtaking the lifetime Hindi collection of the previous record-holder, Pushpa 2: The Rule.
Industry experts highlight that the film’s success is a result of extraordinary “legs” at the box office. Unlike many blockbusters that fizzle out after the first two weeks, Dhurandhar maintained double-digit or high single-digit earnings well into its fifth week, supported by repeat audiences and immense critical acclaim.
Key Box Office Stats for Dhurandhar:
- Total India Nett: ₹831.40 Crore (as of Day 33)
- Worldwide Gross: Over ₹1,222 Crore
- Opening Week: ₹218 Crore
- Week 2: ₹261.50 Crore
- Week 3: ₹189.30 Crore
- Week 4: ₹115.70 Crore
For Ranveer Singh, who plays a RAW agent in this high-stakes geopolitical thriller, Dhurandhar stands as the biggest hit of his career. Director Aditya Dhar, known for his precision in Uri: The Surgical Strike, has once again struck gold, cementing his status as one of India’s most bankable filmmakers.
The production team, which includes Jio Studios and B62 Studios, released a statement celebrating the feat: “History has been rewritten. ‘Dhurandhar’ has redefined Indian box office success, becoming a towering achievement that will be remembered for years to reach.”
With no major Bollywood competition until the release of Border 2 on January 23, the film is expected to further extend its lead as the undisputed king of the Hindi box office.
