Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar is continuing its successful run at the box office and has emerged with a mighty Rs 160.15 crore revenue globally at the end of its first weekend. This includes Rs 125.67 crore from India and Rs 34.48 crore overseas. The spy action thriller film had opened with over Rs 28 crore, making it the biggest day 1 haul in Ranveer's career. Over the next two days, the film saw a massive footfall in theatres and had amassed Rs 33.10 crore on the second day and Rs 44.80 on the third, taking the countrywide net box office collection to Rs 106.50 crore.

Dhurandhar follows the story of an Indian intelligence operative (Ranveer Singh), who infiltrates Pakistan's underworld at the behest of an Indian spymaster Ajay Sanyal (Madhavan). Upon release on December 5, the film was met with mixed reviews, but was praised for the lead actors' performances.

Our CE review of the film by Kartik Bhardwaj reads, "Dhurandhar begins with novelistic promise. It is even divided in chapters, although with derivative titles like “Price of peace” and “Et Tu Brutus”. Still, in this attention-desperate times, it was impressive to watch a film which isn’t eager to impress. It calmly sets up the story, characters aren’t showcased but introduced, and that too only when the plot demands. Dhurandhar appears to be a film which is asking for your time, so that it can lay down its cards. But then two hours have passed and the ace seems to be still far up its sleeves."

The cast also features Akshaye Khanna as Rehman Dakait, R Madhavan as Ajay Sanyal, Sanjay Dutt as Chaudhary Aslam, and Arjun Rampal as Major Iqbal of the ISI. Sara Arjun took on the role of the female lead for the first time in this film after being part of several projects as a child actor.

Dhurandhar is backed by Jyoti Deshpande, Aditya Dhar, and Lokesh Dhar under the banners Jio Studios and B62 Studios. After this, a sequel is also in the works from the makers which is slated for release on March 19, 2026.
