The box office performance of Dhurandhar continues to create history in Hindi cinema. The film has now surpassed the lifetime collection of Stree 2, officially becoming the second highest-grossing Hindi film ever in terms of net domestic collections. With earnings inching towards the Rs 700 crore mark in India, the film has established itself as one of the most successful releases in Bollywood history.
Earlier in its theatrical run, Dhurandhar had overtaken Chhaava at the box office, signaling its strong momentum and widespread audience acceptance. The film’s sustained collections across weeks reflect consistent footfalls and strong word-of-mouth, particularly in urban and multiplex circuits. Trade experts note that such long-term performance is rare and indicates broad appeal across age groups and regions.
The success of Dhurandhar is attributed to several factors, including its engaging storyline, strong performances, and high production values. The film managed to attract repeat audiences, which played a key role in boosting its overall numbers. Additionally, favorable release timing and limited competition at the box office allowed it to maintain steady earnings even after several weeks.
As of now, Dhurandhar stands only behind Pushpa 2 (Hindi version), which currently holds the record for the highest net collection in the history of Hindi cinema at around Rs 800 crore. With its current pace, industry watchers believe that Dhurandhar has a realistic chance of challenging this benchmark if it continues to perform strongly in the coming days.
Trade analysts point out that the film’s performance in smaller towns and mass belts has been particularly impressive. Despite being weeks into its release, the film continues to draw audiences, aided by positive audience reactions and strong social media buzz. The film’s box office trajectory highlights a growing trend where content-driven and spectacle-backed films achieve long theatrical legs.
Cinema exhibitors and distributors have expressed confidence in the film’s continued run, noting stable occupancy levels and steady weekend growth. The film’s success has also had a positive impact on the overall box office landscape, encouraging higher footfalls across cinema halls.
With the Rs 800 crore milestone now in sight, all eyes are on whether Dhurandhar can dethrone Pushpa 2 to become the highest-grossing Hindi film of all time. While the final outcome will depend on its sustained performance and upcoming competition, Dhurandhar has already secured its place among the biggest blockbusters in Indian cinema history.
