Dhurandhar Box Office: Christmas–New Year Boost Powers Record-Breaking Run

Dhurandhar continues its dream run at the box office, delivering yet another historic performance during the Christmas period. According to the latest morning update (11 AM IST), the film opened Day 22 with a strong 18–20% occupancy in morning shows—an impressive feat for its fourth week in theatres.

Early trends indicate that the film is heading towards an estimated ₹15–17 crore net for the day, driven by sustained audience interest and the holiday advantage. Trade analysts describe the momentum as “outstanding,” with the film showing no signs of slowing down even after three weeks.

On Day 21, Dhurandhar had already set the tone by collecting a massive ₹29 crore net, underlining its exceptional hold across markets. The spy thriller has performed remarkably well throughout its first 21 days, consistently beating expectations and rewriting box office benchmarks.

The Christmas window has further strengthened the film’s position, helping it break multiple records and cement its status as one of the biggest box office successes of 2025. With packed shows continuing in key circuits, the film is now firmly on track to extend its record-smashing streak in the days ahead.

With its extraordinary run, Dhurandhar has now entered an elite club in Indian cinema. Over the last five years, only a handful of films have managed to cross massive box office milestones, including titles like RRR, KGF: Chapter 2, Pathaan, Jawan, Animal, Pushpa: The Rise, Brahmāstra, Salaar, Leo and Stree 2.

What makes Dhurandhar stand out is the speed and consistency of its collections even in the fourth week, placing it firmly among the top 10 highest-grossing Indian films of the last five years. Trade experts believe the film’s sustained momentum during the Christmas period and the New Year could push it even higher on the all-time rankings.

A major factor behind Dhurandhar’s record-breaking box office run is its powerful star cast. The film is headlined by Ranveer Singh, whose intense and rugged performance has received strong audience and critical appreciation. He is supported by an ensemble cast featuring Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, and Arjun Rampal. The strong performances by the supporting cast have added depth and gravitas to the narrative, making the film appealing across age groups and regions. Trade analysts believe this combination of a bankable lead star and seasoned performers has significantly boosted repeat viewership and sustained audience interest well into the fourth week.

As audiences continue to turn up in large numbers, all eyes remain on how far Dhurandhar can push its totals—especially with strong trends suggesting that the film’s extraordinary run is far from over.
