Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar has stormed the Indian box office like a cinematic cyclone, rewriting records and redefining what a non-festive release can achieve. Released without the advantage of a major holiday window, the Aditya Dhar directorial has emerged as Bollywood’s biggest surprise of 2025, outperforming even several high-profile festive releases.
Within just ten days of its release, Dhurandhar has not only cemented its place among the highest-grossing films of the year but has also created history by setting multiple unprecedented box office benchmarks. Here’s a detailed look at the seven major records that underline the film’s extraordinary theatrical run.
Fastest Indian Film to Enter the ₹300 Crore Club in 2025
One of the biggest milestones achieved by Dhurandhar is its lightning-fast entry into the ₹300 crore nett club. According to trade reports from Sacnilk, the film has amassed a staggering ₹353.18 crore nett in India within just 10 days.
While films like Saiyaara and Chhaava also crossed the ₹300 crore mark this year, Dhurandhar did it at record speed.
- Saiyaara took 17 days to reach ₹302.1 crore
- Chhaava collected ₹326 crore in 10 days
- Dhurandhar surged past both, emerging as the fastest of them all
This achievement firmly places Ranveer Singh’s film at the top of the 2025 box office charts.
Biggest Second Weekend Ever for a Hindi Film
Traditionally, box office collections witness a dip in the second weekend. Dhurandhar, however, shattered that trend in spectacular fashion. The film recorded a second weekend that was bigger than its opening weekend, a rare feat in Hindi cinema.
This extraordinary consistency reflects massive word-of-mouth publicity and repeat audience viewership, indicating that the film resonated strongly with moviegoers across regions.
Record-Breaking Second Friday Collection
The momentum didn’t slow down after the first week. On its second Friday, Dhurandhar registered the highest-ever second Friday collection for a Hindi film.
At a time when most movies struggle to maintain weekday footfalls, Dhurandhar continued to pull crowds, highlighting its strong hold at the ticket counters.
Highest Second Saturday Collection in Hindi Cinema
The film followed up its strong Friday performance with an even bigger jump on Saturday. Dhurandhar went on to set the record for the biggest second Saturday collection ever recorded by a Hindi film.
Family audiences, young viewers, and mass circuits turned up in huge numbers, making it one of the most commercially robust Saturdays in Bollywood history.
All-Time Biggest Second Sunday for a Hindi Film
Sunday proved to be nothing short of explosive. On its 10th day, Dhurandhar earned approximately ₹59 crore nett, making it the highest second Sunday collection ever for a Hindi-language film.
The previous record was held by Pushpa 2: The Rule (2024), which collected around ₹54 crore nett on its second Sunday in Hindi. Dhurandhar comfortably surpassed that benchmark, creating a new industry standard.
Strongest Hold for a Non-Festive Release
What makes Dhurandhar’s success even more remarkable is that it achieved these numbers without a festive holiday advantage. The film’s performance proves that compelling storytelling, powerful performances, and effective marketing can override calendar constraints.
Trade analysts are calling it the strongest box office hold for a non-festive Bollywood release in recent years.
Ranveer Singh’s Biggest Box Office Triumph
With Dhurandhar, Ranveer Singh has delivered the biggest hit of his career. The film has elevated his box office standing, placing him firmly among Bollywood’s most bankable superstars.
From opening numbers to sustained collections, the actor’s mass appeal combined with Aditya Dhar’s direction has resulted in a film that audiences are watching repeatedly.
Conclusion
Dhurandhar is no longer just a successful film—it is a phenomenon. Its record-breaking box office run has redefined expectations for Hindi cinema in 2025 and set new benchmarks for future releases. As the film continues its theatrical journey, trade experts believe it may add even more milestones to its already impressive list.
With powerful performances, relentless momentum, and audience love pouring in from all corners, Dhurandhar stands tall as one of Bollywood’s most dominant box office rampages in recent history.
