Bollywood just witnessed a seismic shift, and it’s all thanks to Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar. Imagine a film inching closer to becoming the 5th most profitable Bollywood release of 2025, just 8.10 crores away from glory. Starring Ranveer Singh and Akshaye Khanna, this spy action thriller has shattered expectations, proving that Bollywood can still dominate the box office. But here’s where it gets controversial: Can Dhurandhar truly claim the title of the highest-grossing Hindi film in history, surpassing even Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2? Let’s dive into the numbers and find out.
On its 27th day, Dhurandhar added a staggering 12.40 crores to its collection, despite it being New Year’s Eve. That’s right—even amidst the festivities, audiences flocked to theaters to show their love for this Sara Arjun co-starrer. The film’s hold remained rock-solid, nearly matching the 12.60 crores it earned the previous day. With a net box office collection of 766.90 crores in India, Dhurandhar is now on the cusp of joining the elite 800 crore club—a milestone Bollywood has never seen before.
And this is the part most people miss: Dhurandhar isn’t just chasing box office records; it’s also eyeing the ROI of Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat (243.2%) to secure its spot as the 5th most profitable film of 2025. With a budget of 225 crores and a ROI of 241%, it’s already a super-duper hit. But can it surpass the profitability of its competitors? Only time will tell.
Here’s a detailed breakdown of its box office journey in India (net collection):
- Week 1: 218 crores
