On Friday, its 22nd day in theatres, Dhurandhar crossed another huge milestone. As it took its domestic earnings to ₹648 crore, the Aditya Dhar film became the highest-grossing Bollywood film in India, beating the mark set by Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan two years ago. Dhurandhar is now set to cross ₹700 crore domestically, and potentially even challenge Pushpa 2: The Rule for the highest collections by a Hindi film in India.

Dhurandhar becomes the highest-grossing Bollywood film

On Friday, Dhurandhar started its fourth week at the ticket window with a net collection of just over ₹15 crore. This has taken its domestic collection to ₹648.50 crore net after 22 days. Dhurandhar is now at number 1 in the list of the highest-grossing Bollywood films domestically, having displaced Atlee’s Jawan, which earned ₹640 crore in 2023. The Ranveer Singh-starrer had earlier beaten the lifetime collections of Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava ( ₹601 crore) and Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor’s Stree 2 ( ₹598 crore).

The other Bollywood films to have grossed over ₹500 crore net in India are Animal ( ₹553 crore), Gadar 2 ( ₹525 crore), and Pathaan ( ₹543 crore). Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan was the first Bollywood film to enter this club. Prior to that, the record had been held by Aamir Khan’s Dangal for seven years. The sports drama had netted ₹387 crore in India in all languages.
