The film, which opened to record-breaking numbers, has continued its momentum well into its fourth week, defying the usual post-release slowdown. On its fourth Saturday, the film collected Rs 20.90 crore, a number rarely seen, taking the total collection to Rs. 706.40 crore. Here’s the breakdown of the film’s nett collection in India:

Even on weekdays, Dhurandhar has maintained strong occupancy in theatres, a feat typically reserved for festival releases or franchise films. According to industry trackers, the movie’s robust collections in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities have played a key role in pushing it past the Rs. 700 crore benchmark.
Beyond India, Dhurandhar has also delivered a massive global performance. The film has crossed the Rs. 1,000 crore mark worldwide, further cementing its status as one of the most commercially successful Indian films of all time. Overseas markets such as North America, the Middle East, and Australia have shown exceptional traction, with packed shows even weeks after release.
Games
View AllTrade experts attribute the film’s success to a combination of factors: a powerful star turn, slick action set-pieces, patriotic undertones, and strong word-of-mouth. The film’s marketing strategy, which relied heavily on audience buzz rather than overexposure, is also being credited for its long theatrical run.
The Rs. 700 crore domestic milestone places Dhurandhar in an elite league, surpassing previous box-office giants and setting a new ceiling for Hindi cinema. Industry insiders believe this achievement could significantly impact future budgeting, distribution strategies, and theatrical expectations for big-ticket Bollywood releases.
