Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar continues its dream run at the global box office, ranking among the top five films worldwide in its second weekend. With USD 18 million overseas earnings and over INR 750 crore worldwide, the Aditya Dhar directorial is now racing towards the coveted INR 800 crore milestone.
Dhurandhar is showing no signs of slowing down at the box office. On Day 16, the Ranveer Singh-led espionage drama delivered a massive third Saturday collection of INR 33.5 crore, pushing its India nett total to around INR 516.5 crore. What makes the feat even more impressive is that the film held strong despite competition from a major Hollywood release like Avatar: Fire and Ash, clearly proving its powerful word of mouth and audience pull. ‘Dhurandhar’ Movie Review: Ranveer Singh Explodes in Spurts in Aditya Dhar’s Exhaustingly Violent and Politically Questionable Thriller (LatestLY Exclusive)
‘Dhurandhar’ Breaks Third-Saturday Record
Before Dhurandhar, the biggest third-Saturday numbers belonged to Chhaava with INR 22 crore, followed by Pushpa 2 at INR 20 crore.

On Friday, the film earned INR 22.5 crore, its lowest single-day figure so far, but bounced back strongly the very next day highlighting its solid weekend growth pattern.

Among Hindi films, Dhurandhar now holds the record, beating Jawan, which took 18 days.
