Dhurandhar worldwide box office collection day 18: Even as Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar saw its first sub-20-crore day at the domestic box office on Monday, the film has still maintained its momentum globally. Its great run over 18 days has seen it become the highest-grossing Indian film of 2025, beating Kantara Chapter 1 and Chhaava.

Dhurandhar worldwide box office collection day 18: Ranveer Singh's film is now the highest-grosser in 2025.

Dhurandhar box office update

Dhurandhar collected a stellar ₹95 crore net domestically in its third weekend, despite competition from James Cameron’s Avatar: Fire and Ash. On Monday, the film experienced its first major drop since its release, as it declined by almost 60% to collect ₹16 crore net. Mind you, it’s still a very respectable figure. This has taken Dhurandhar’s domestic collection to ₹571.75 crore net ( ₹686 crore gross) after 18 days.

Internationally, the film has continued to enjoy a strong run, despite Avatar 3 capturing many screens worldwide. As of day 18, Dhurandhar has earned over $20.5 million in the overseas territories. This takes its worldwide collection to an impressive ₹872 crore. If it sustains its momentum, Dhurandhar should cross Animal and Secret Superstar's worldwide hauls (both ₹915 crore) over the next two days to enter the top 10 highest-grossing Indian films of all time.

Dhurandhar is India’s highest-grossing film of 2025

On Monday, Dhurandhar surpassed the lifetime collection of Stree 2 ( ₹857 crore) and, more importantly, Kantara Chapter One ( ₹852 crore). This means it is now the highest-grossing Indian film of 2025, having overcome the ₹807 crore haul of Chhaava on Sunday. Dhurandhar will now look to cross the ₹900 and ₹1000 crore barriers in the days and weeks to come.
