Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar has officially emerged as the biggest Indian box office success this year, rewriting records across domestic and overseas markets. The Aditya Dhar-directed spy thriller has now sealed its position as Dhurandhar highest grossing film of 2025, surpassing major releases including Kantara Chapter One and Stree 2 by a wide margin.
Even on its 18th day in theatres, Dhurandhar has shown remarkable staying power. The film recorded its first sub-₹20 crore day on Monday, earning ₹16 crore net after a nearly 60 percent drop. Despite the decline, the figures remain impressive for a film in its third week. The sustained audience interest has helped it remain Dhurandhar highest grossing film of 2025.
Strong Domestic Box Office Run
During its third weekend, Dhurandhar collected ₹95 crore net, holding firm despite competition from Hollywood’s Avatar: Fire and Ash. With this performance, the film comfortably crossed Kantara Chapter One, Stree 2, and Chhaava to take the top spot at the 2025 box office race.
As of day 18, the film’s domestic total stands at ₹571.75 crore net and ₹686 crore gross. Trade experts believe the film is now firmly on track to challenge the ₹900 crore and even the ₹1,000 crore milestones if weekday collections remain stable. This momentum further cements its status as Dhurandhar highest grossing film of 2025.

Overseas Collections Boost Global Total
Internationally, Dhurandhar continues to perform strongly despite Avatar 3 capturing a large number of screens worldwide. The film has earned over $20.5 million in overseas territories so far, pushing its worldwide collection to approximately ₹872 crore.
If the current pace continues, Dhurandhar is expected to cross the worldwide lifetime collections of Animal and Secret Superstar, both of which stand at around ₹915 crore. This would place the film among the top 10 highest-grossing Indian films of all time and strengthen its claim as Dhurandhar highest grossing film of 2025.
