Trade analyst Taran Adarsh reports that Dhurandhar posts the highest-ever second Saturday collection in the history of Hindi cinema. The film earns approximately $6.5 million on its second Saturday alone, overtaking previous record-holders.

About Dhurandhar

Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar follows the story of Hamza, an Indian spy who infiltrates Pakistan and becomes part of gangster Rehman Dakait’s network. The narrative draws inspiration from real-life events, including the 2001 Parliament attack and the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, framing its story against the broader India–Pakistan conflict.

The film stars Ranveer Singh alongside Akshaye Khanna, Arjun Rampal, R. Madhavan, Sanjay Dutt, Rakesh Bedi and Sara Arjun. A second installment is scheduled for theatrical release on March 19 next year.

With record-setting numbers and sustained audience interest, Dhurandhar positions itself not just as a commercial juggernaut, but as one of the defining Hindi box office stories of the year.
