Ranveer Singh’s spy thriller Dhurandhar has delivered a rare sustained run at the box office, becoming the first Hindi film to surpass Rs 100 crore in its fourth week. The film’s combination of a star-led ensemble, vigorous word of mouth and sustained audience interest powered its late-week surge.
Dhurandhar box office collection sets new Week 4 benchmark
Between 26 December 2025 and 1 January 2026 Dhurandhar collected an estimated Rs 115.70 crore in its fourth week, a figure confirmed by trade analyst Taran Adarsh. That total more than doubles the fourth-week tally of the next best performer, Pushpa 2 (Hindi), which earned Rs 57.95 crore in the same period. Adarsh reported daywise figures of Rs 16.70 crore on Friday, Rs 20.90 crore on Saturday and Rs 24.30 crore on Sunday, followed by steady weekday returns.
Industry trackers put Dhurandhar’s official net India business at about Rs 784.50 crore after four weeks. Worldwide numbers have been reported at more than Rs 1,100 crore, with over Rs 750 crore claimed from India alone. Those returns have placed the film among the highest-grossing Indian releases of the year.
The film’s appeal rests on several factors. Aditya Dhar’s direction emphasises sustained tension across an extended running time, while performances from an ensemble that includes Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, R Madhavan and Sara Arjun drew repeat viewers. Strong music, sharp casting and viral social media moments helped broaden its reach beyond core urban centres.
Critically, Dhurandhar displayed uncommon weekday resilience, limiting the usual drop-off after opening weekends. The reported Week 1-to-Week 4 breakdown – Week 1: Rs 218 crore, Week 2: Rs 261.50 crore, Week 3: Rs 189.30 crore, Week 4: Rs 115.70 crore – points to sustained audience interest rather than a single-week spike.
Adarsh noted that Dhurandhar maintained box office supremacy despite the arrival of new releases such as Ikkis and reductions in screens and shows. The film’s producers are banking on that momentum ahead of the March release of Dhurandhar Part 2: Revenge, which is scheduled to open over the Eid, Gudi Padwa and Ugadi weekend.
That sequel will face stiff competition from other major releases announced for the same weekend, notably Yash, Nayanthara and Kiara Advani’s pan-India period gangster saga Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups and Adivi Sesh’s Dacoit. The crowded release calendar will offer a more conventional test of franchise pulling power and territorial splits.
From an economic standpoint, Dhurandhar’s extended run underlines the earning potential of high-budget, star-driven films in India’s increasingly multiplex-led market. Large weekday collections suggest a widening demographic for theatrical releases, while high digital engagement points to a successful marketing mix that combined traditional and social channels.
As trade commentators evaluate the film’s long-term impact, attention will turn to ancillary revenue streams: overseas theatrical windows, streaming rights and music licensing. For now, Dhurandhar’s Week 4 landmark cements its status as one of the standout commercial successes of the season and a notable cultural export for India’s film industry.
Key Takeaways:
- Dhurandhar box office collection soars to Rs 115.70 crore in Week 4, making it the first Hindi film to cross Rs 100 crore in its fourth week.
- The film has grossed an estimated Rs 784.50 crore in India by end of Week 4, with global totals reportedly past Rs 1,100 crore.
- Strong weekday holds and viral social engagement helped maintain momentum despite new releases and fewer screens.
