Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar has made a stunning comeback at the box office, defying the competition from James Cameron's Avatar: Fire and Ash. The spy thriller, directed by Aditya Dhar, has now earned ₹516.50 crore net in India and ₹785 crore worldwide in just 16 days. This impressive feat has put Dhurandhar within touching distance of becoming the highest-grossing Indian film of 2025, surpassing Chhaava's ₹807 crore and Kantara Chapter 1's ₹852 crore. Dhurandhar, which stars Ranveer as Hamza, an Indian operative infiltrating the gang and terror networks of Karachi, opened with modest numbers but eventually gained momentum through word of mouth. The film's success has made it the seventh Hindi film to cross the ₹500 crore mark domestically, and it has achieved this feat faster than Jawan and Stree 2. Internationally, Dhurandhar has earned about $18.5 million gross overseas, adding to its impressive worldwide collection. With the film's third part set to release in March 2026, fans are eagerly awaiting to see how the series will unfold.
