Aditya Dhar’s high-octane spectacle continues its unstoppable theatrical dream run as Dhurandhar adds ₹1.79 crore on Day 41, rewriting record books for Ranveer Singh, Sanjay Dutt and the post-pandemic Hindi box office.
When most big-ticket Bollywood releases begin fading out of theatres by their fourth week, Dhurandhar is doing exactly the opposite — refusing to slow down, refusing to leave screens, and refusing to stop breaking records. On its 41st day at the Indian box office, the Ranveer Singh–led action juggernaut collected approximately ₹1.79 crore net across all languages, pushing its staggering India net total to around ₹812.39 crore.
For a Hindi film in the modern theatrical landscape, these numbers are not just impressive — they are historic. The film has officially cemented itself as the highest-grossing Hindi film of Ranveer Singh’s career, leaving behind blockbusters like Padmaavat, Simmba, Bajirao Mastani and Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani by a massive margin.
And what’s even more astonishing? The film is still pulling audiences into theatres even in its sixth week of release, driven by word-of-mouth, repeat viewing, premium screen formats, and mass appeal across metros and Tier-2 cities.

Day 41 Box Office Snapshot: Dhurandhar Refuses to Quit
According to early trade estimates, Dhurandhar earned approximately ₹1.79 crore on Wednesday (Day 41). While weekday collections have naturally slowed compared to its explosive opening weeks, sustaining nearly ₹2 crore daily this late into its run reflects extraordinary audience retention.
The film’s cumulative India net collection now stands at approximately ₹812.39 crore, making it one of the biggest box office phenomena Indian cinema has seen in recent years.
The steady hold in Week 6 indicates that the film still enjoys strong footfalls, especially in premium circuits and urban centres where repeat audiences continue to show up.
Occupancy Report: Chennai, Bengaluru and Hyderabad Lead the Charge
On Day 41, Dhurandhar recorded an overall Hindi occupancy of 12.72%, which is extremely respectable for a film entering its sixth week.
Key occupancy highlights include:
- Chennai: A jaw-dropping 49.50% overall occupancy, driven by high afternoon footfalls.
- Hyderabad: 30.50% occupancy, showing strong southern market traction for a Hindi film.
- Bengaluru: 29.50% occupancy, confirming solid urban pull.
- Ahmedabad: 14.50%
- Pune: 13.00%
- Mumbai: 12.00%
- NCR: 9.00%
Interestingly, evening and night shows have largely reduced due to screen reallocations for new releases, but morning and afternoon shows continue to pull steady audiences, especially in multiplex-heavy cities.
The Chennai numbers, in particular, have surprised trade analysts, highlighting the film’s pan-India crossover appeal despite being a primarily Hindi-driven spectacle.

A Look Back at Dhurandhar’s Record-Smashing Journey
Dhurandhar opened to thunderous numbers with a ₹28 crore Day 1, followed by a massive weekend surge that pushed its Week 1 total to ₹207.25 crore. The second week proved even stronger, collecting ₹253.25 crore, driven by festive footfalls and blockbuster word-of-mouth.
By the end of Week 3, the film had already crossed ₹600 crore, officially entering elite blockbuster territory. Despite natural drops in Week 4 and Week 5, the film continued delivering consistent double-digit crores every week, proving its long-term box office muscle.
Even in Week 6, the film is maintaining respectable weekday figures — a rarity in today’s fast-content, OTT-driven consumption era.
Trade insiders attribute this rare longevity to three factors:
- Massive star power led by Ranveer Singh and Sanjay Dutt
- Large-scale action spectacle crafted by Aditya Dhar
- Strong repeat value among mass and urban audiences
Ranveer Singh’s Biggest Film Ever — By a Huge Margin
With Dhurandhar now sitting at over ₹810 crore India net, the film has rewritten Ranveer Singh’s personal box office leaderboard.
Ranveer Singh’s Top Hindi Grossers Now Stand As:
- Dhurandhar – ₹810.6 Cr
- Padmaavat – ₹302.15 Cr
- Simmba – ₹240.3 Cr
- Bajirao Mastani – ₹184.3 Cr
- Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani – ₹153.55 Cr
The gap between Dhurandhar and his second-highest film is nothing short of seismic. Industry watchers believe this performance firmly positions Ranveer among the most bankable superstars in the country today.
Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal and Sara Arjun Also Set New Career Benchmarks
The success wave doesn’t stop with Ranveer alone. Sanjay Dutt has now delivered the biggest hit of his career, surpassing even KGF Chapter 2 in Hindi net collections.
For Arjun Rampal, Dhurandhar becomes his highest-grossing film by a landslide, dwarfing titles like Ra.One, Roy and Rock On!!.
Young performer Sara Arjun also registers her biggest box office success ever, marking a major milestone in her career trajectory.
The ensemble casting — including R. Madhavan, Akshaye Khanna and a tightly written antagonist arc — has been widely appreciated by audiences and critics alike.
Why Dhurandhar Became a Cultural Box Office Event
Beyond the raw numbers, Dhurandhar has evolved into a full-fledged pop culture talking point. From whistle-worthy action blocks to viral dialogue clips, the film has dominated social media timelines, fan edits and meme culture since release.
Aditya Dhar’s slick direction, combined with stylised action choreography and emotionally grounded storytelling, gave the film both mass punch and narrative depth — a rare balance that fuels repeat viewing.
The film’s background score, high-voltage confrontations, and carefully staged set-pieces have also contributed heavily to its theatrical pull, making it a “big-screen experience” rather than just another streaming-friendly release.
What’s Next for Dhurandhar at the Box Office?
With new releases gradually taking over screens, daily numbers may continue to soften in the coming days. However, trade experts believe Dhurandhar still has enough momentum to add a few more crores before its theatrical run winds down.
Crossing further symbolic milestones remains possible depending on weekend holds and premium format retention. Even if collections slow, the film’s legacy as a modern Hindi box office titan is already sealed.
Final Verdict
Dhurandhar is no longer just a blockbuster — it’s a benchmark.
A ₹812+ crore India net total, consistent sixth-week occupancy, record-breaking career highs for multiple stars, and massive pan-India acceptance make this one of the defining theatrical success stories of the decade.
For Bollywood, it signals the return of genuine mass-event cinema. For Ranveer Singh and Aditya Dhar, it cements superstar and blockbuster-director status. And for audiences, it proves that when spectacle meets storytelling, the box office still roars.
