After 28 explosive days, Dhurandhar continues to dominate theatres across India with solid occupancy in key cities, proving Ranveer Singh’s pan-India appeal.
Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar continues to flex its box office muscles even on Day 28, raking in an estimated ₹8.63 Cr India net across all languages on Thursday, January 1, 2026. The film, directed by Aditya Dhar and produced by Jio Studios and B62 Studios, has now crossed a jaw-dropping ₹731.88 Cr India net in just four weeks, making it one of the biggest Hindi releases of the year.

The second week, though slightly softer, saw the film amass ₹253.25 Cr, with audiences flocking back for the larger-than-life action sequences and Ranveer Singh’s magnetic screen presence.
In its third week, the film faced typical weekday dips but bounced back over the weekends, with Day 21 showing an impressive ₹25 Cr collection. The fourth week continued to deliver strong numbers, culminating in ₹8.63 Cr on Day 28, a remarkable feat for a film that has been running for nearly a month.
