Ranveer Singh-starrer 'Dhurandhar' becomes first Hindi film to cross Rs 800 crore mark in India
Mumbai, January 4
The Ranveer Singh starrer spy-action thriller 'Dhurandhar' has scripted history by becoming the first Hindi film to cross the Rs 800 crore mark in India in terms of net collections.
The film reached this milestone within a month of its release, a feat that, just a month ago, seemed almost unreal for a Hindi film.
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared detailed box office figures on social media platform X, highlighting the film's steady and robust earnings since its release.

Since its release, Dhurandhar has been receiving widespread praise from critics, industry insiders, and audiences alike. Joining the list of admirers, actor couple Suriya and Jyotika hailed director Aditya Dhar's latest cinematic venture.
In a post on X, Suriya penned a heartfelt note and praised the "masterpiece." "Thank you @AdityaDharFilms for giving us this masterpiece. #Dhurandhar, what a movie! Completely blown away by your craft... love & respect to you and the whole team," the couple shared.
R Madhavan, who played the powerful character of Indian spymaster Sanyal, also responded to Suriya and Jyotika's review. "Wow, brother, this means the world to me coming from you and Jo. How gracious, large-hearted, and sweet of you. All the love right back at you, brother. Can't wait to see your upcoming films. God bless you both," he wrote.
Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar has emerged as one of the biggest Hindi films of 2025, offering a strong close to the year for Bollywood. The film features Ranveer Singh in the lead role, with a powerful ensemble cast including Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, and R Madhavan in pivotal roles.
The film is planned as a two-part franchise, with the sequel scheduled for release during Eid 2026. Given the unprecedented box office success of the first instalment, expectations surrounding the sequel remain high among audiences.

Saw it twice in the theatre! The action sequences were world-class, and the story had me on the edge of my seat. It's a proud moment for Indian cinema. Aditya Dhar has done it again after Uri. The sequel announcement for Eid 2026 is the best news!
While the success is undeniable, I hope this doesn't mean every big film now has to be a two-part franchise. The story felt a bit stretched in the second half, clearly setting up the sequel. Still, a solid film and a historic box office run. Congratulations to the team.
As someone who watches a lot of international spy thrillers, I was genuinely impressed. The production value was top-notch. R. Madhavan as Sanyal was the standout for me. Great to see Bollywood matching global standards.
Bahut badhiya! This is the kind of cinema we need. It was entertaining, had a strong message, and made us feel proud. The collections show the power of the Indian audience. When we unite for good content, records tumble. Jai Hind!
The music, the visuals, the performances - everything was spot on! Took my whole family, and everyone from my dad to my younger brother loved it. It's rare to find a film that appeals across generations like this. Well deserved success.
