The performance of Dhurandhar is particularly notable for its consistency; it became the first Indian movie to record over 1 lakh ticket sales daily for 30 consecutive days on booking platforms.

Background of 'Dhurandhar' and Character Impact of Ranveer Singh

Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar marks Ranveer Singh’s return to the big screen after a two-year hiatus. Singh’s portrayal of "Hamza", an intense Indian intelligence operative infiltrating networks in Karachi, has been hailed as a major departure from his usual high-energy persona. The film's gritty, realistic approach - inspired by actual geopolitical events - has resonated with audiences, while supporting performances by Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, and Arjun Rampal have added significant depth to the ensemble. ‘Dhurandhar’ Box Office Collection: Becomes No.1 Highest-Grossing Hindi Film Ever at Indian Box Office, Ranveer Singh Spy Thriller Crosses INR 831 Crore Net (View Post).

Future of the Franchise: 'Dhurandhar 2'

The momentum from the first film is set to lead directly into a sequel. In a rare move for Indian cinema, the makers have already confirmed that Dhurandhar 2 is scheduled for a theatrical release on March 19. This puts the sequel on a collision course with Yash's pan-India drama Toxic, setting up what trade analysts are calling the "Dhuraxic" box office clash. The sequel of Dhurandhar is expected to pick up immediately from the post-credits scene of the first film, with several cast members, including Rakesh Bedi, reportedly taking on more prominent roles.
