‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge’ smashes records with INR 500 crore milestone in 5 days

KATHMANDU: The Dhurandhar: The Revenge, starring Ranveer Singh, is rewriting box office history in India with a thunderous opening week performance.

The action drama debuted with a record-breaking INR 102 crore net (INR 121 crore gross) on its first day. Within just five days of release, the film has surged past the INR500 crore mark in India, collecting INR 519 crore net. On Monday alone, it earned INR 65 crore, underscoring its sustained momentum.

According to trade estimates, the film recorded INR 80.72 crore on day two, followed by  INR 113 crore and INR 114 crore on the third and fourth days respectively. Its fifth-day earnings have been hailed as an “all-time record” for a Hindi film, surpassing the previous benchmark set by Pathaan, which had earned around INR 60 crore on its fifth day.

In gross terms, the film has amassed INR 619 crore in India, while overseas earnings of INR 225 crore have pushed its worldwide total to INR 844 crore within five days.

With its current trajectory, industry analysts predict the film could cross INR 650 crore domestically within its first week and breach the INR 1,000 crore mark globally in the same period.

The film is also expected to overtake the lifetime domestic collections of top Bollywood earners including Animal (INR 553 crore), Pathaan (INR 543 crore), and Gadar 2 (INR 525 crore) as early as Tuesday, with projections suggesting another INR 60 crore-plus day.

At 3 hours and 49 minutes, Dhurandhar: The Revenge is among the longest Hindi films of the 21st century.

The revenge-driven gangster epic features a star-studded cast including Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, and R. Madhavan.

The film is written, directed, and produced by Aditya Dhar, and has been praised for its scale, high-octane action, and gripping narrative centred on revenge and gang warfare.

If the current pace continues, Dhurandhar: The Revenge could emerge as one of the highest-grossing Indian films of all time.
