సునీత గెలిచింది! | CBI Court Verdict on YS Sunitha Petition Over Viveka Case

Bollywood’s latest blockbuster Dhurandhar, starring Ranveer Singh in the lead and directed by Aditya Dhar, is rewriting box-office records with a thunderous run across all territories. Released on December 5, the film has continued its dream run even after completing a full week in theatres, showing no signs of slowing down.

After a strong opening weekend, Dhurandhar wrapped up its first week on a phenomenal note. By the end of Friday, the film had reportedly collected close to ₹240 crore net in India, according to early trade estimates. Its worldwide gross has already crossed the ₹300 crore mark within the first week — a sensational achievement, especially considering that pre-release trade expectations were far more conservative.

Fuelled by patriotic themes and headline-grabbing controversies, the film maintained exceptional momentum during the weekdays, registering solid occupancies across multiplexes and single screens alike. Trade analysts predict that the second weekend will mirror the impressive trend of the first, putting the film firmly on track to enter the prestigious ₹500 crore club in the coming days.

This feat becomes even more remarkable given that Dhurandhar carries an ‘A’ certification and faced a ban in several Gulf countries, despite the region’s sizeable Indian diaspora. Such constraints have not dented the film’s box-office potential.

While it may be premature to predict its final lifetime total, Dhurandhar is increasingly being seen as a strong contender to emerge as the highest-grossing Bollywood film of 2025. With steady weekday growth, the film has the potential to emulate the success of major blockbusters like Chhaava and Saiyaara.

To claim the top spot for 2025, Dhurandhar will need to surpass the ₹850 crore mark and overtake Kantara: Chapter 1. Achieving this milestone would mark a historic moment for Bollywood. The film’s performance over the next few days is expected to determine just how high it can soar.
