Dhurandhar Day 38: Ranveer’s Film Beats Prabhas’ The Raja Saab
Even after more than a month since its release, Dhurandhar is still shocking all at the box office. It had once again become a ticker of sorts, thanks to Ranveer Singh’s high-octane spy thriller that had been showing the way as far as how good content, star power and audience word-of-mouth can keep a film alive for much more than just opening weeks. In its sixth weekend as well, the film showed great legs as it picked up 70% more numbers, something that is incredible for any Hindi film at such a stage of running.
What’s more, Dhurandhar managed to do it by even outgrossing the Hindi release of Prabhas’s eagerly-awaited new film The Raja Saab and snatching back its number 1 spot from there in the process at the Hindi box-office.
Week 6 — Box Office: Excellent
Through its fifth week, Dhurandhar had fetched an enormous ₹51 crore in India and together it totalled almost to the ₹ 800 net mark Domestic sum. But instead of flagging, as most films do after a month of release, the film found new life.
Dhurandhar grossed additional ₹15 crore in its sixth weekend and made a domestic net of ₹805 crore. By no means a small amount, in gross terms that figure amounts to about ₹967 crore in India alone.
This great weekend run further underscores the film’s strong hold amongst moviegoers – especially in metro cities / mass belts where it can be observed playing to repeat audiences and think-tank reviews that continue to help drive footfalls.
International Ticket Sales Bolster Global Numbers
And its success expanded beyond India. Dhurandhar is equally well received in international markets, particularly areas with large Indian communities. The film has taken in almost $32 million overseas, giving its overall gross a big bump.
Adding domestic and international numbers, Dhurandhar has now grossed an incredible ₹1,256 crore worldwide.
This achievement makes the Ayushmann Khurrana starrer one of the top four highest grossing Indian films of all time, behind only:
Dangal
Baahubali 2: The Conclusion
Pushpa 2
For the kind of spy thriller that can be produced in Bollywood, this is no mean achievement.
Overpowering Prabhas’ The Raja Saab at the Box Office in Hindi
One of the most discussed successes that Dhurandhar scored in its sixth week was to do better business than The Raja Saab, at least in Hindi market.
Film of Prabhas had a short stint at the top after its release but Dhurandhar made it back quickly. The box office collection of Dhurandhar on Sunday was ₹6.15 crore, while Hindi version of The Raja Saab collected ₹4.65 crore.”
While The Raja Saab had a total collection of ₹19.10 crore, the majority was contributed by its Telugu version. Dhurandhar on the other hand was first preference too among Hindi audience indicating a powerful grip and repeat.”
Why Dhurandhar Is So Effective
The film’s remarkable performance at the box office has been driven by a number of factors:

What’s Next: Dhurandhar Part 2
With film enjoying a phenomenal run at the box office, it’s not shocking that the makers have already announced Dhurandhar Part 2. Sequel fans can mark their calendars for a March 2026 release date.
With the bar now set so high, makers are only likely to raise it higher — bigger action, better storytelling and greater stakes. If as good as the first film, the sequel could potentially break even more records.

Dhurandhar is a Hindi indie that not just starts strong, it also gets consistently stronger as it progresses. A sixth-week surge, record-shattering global figures and the fact that it can blow away new releases .
