The Indian film industry has a new king at the box office. Dhurandhar, the high-octane spy thriller directed by Aditya Dhar, has officially become a historic blockbuster. Starring Ranveer Singh in a never-seen-before avatar, the film is not just a hit; it is a cultural phenomenon that has redefined the power of Bollywood in the post-pandemic era.

In this post, we look at the incredible journey of Dhurandhar, its record-breaking collections, and what it means for the future of Indian cinema.

Dhurandhar Box Office Collection Till Date

As of January 8, 2026, Dhurandhar has completed 34 days in theaters and the numbers are staggering. The film has crossed the ₹836.15 crore net mark in India alone. Globally, the movie has collected over ₹1,259 crore, making it one of the top 5 highest-grossing Indian films of all time.

By crossing the ₹830 crore mark in its Hindi version, Dhurandhar has officially surpassed the lifetime Hindi collection of Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2: The Rule. It has also overtaken major blockbusters like RRR, KGF: Chapter 2, and Jawan in terms of single-language earnings.

Ranveer Singh’s Most Collected Movie

Before Dhurandhar, Ranveer Singh was known for hits like Padmaavat, Bajirao Mastani, and Simmba. However, Dhurandhar has taken his stardom to a whole new level.

• Padmaavat previously held his personal record with around ₹585 crore worldwide.

• Dhurandhar has doubled that, becoming his first film to enter the ₹1000 crore club.

With this success, Ranveer Singh has joined the elite league of actors like Shah Rukh Khan and Ranbir Kapoor, who have delivered massive global hits recently.

Kerala Collection of Dhurandhar Movie

Bollywood movies usually face tough competition in Kerala due to the strong local Malayalam film industry. However, Dhurandhar managed to create a significant impact. Thanks to the “Aditya Dhar” brand (the director of Uri) and the gripping spy-thriller theme, the film performed exceptionally well in major cities like Kochi, Trivandrum, and Kozhikode. While the exact final figures are still being tallied, reports suggest the film has collected over ₹12 crore to ₹15 crore in Kerala, which is a very healthy number for a non-dubbed Hindi film in the state.

OTT Rights and Price: Where to Watch?

The digital rights of Dhurandhar have been the talk of the town. Netflix has reportedly bagged the OTT rights for the film. According to industry insiders, the deal was locked for a record-breaking ₹285 crore. This deal includes the streaming rights for both Part 1 and the upcoming Part 2 (sequel). This is currently the highest-ever OTT acquisition price for a Hindi film, beating the previous records held by Pushpa 2 and Jawan. Fans can expect the movie to premiere on Netflix by the end of January 2026.

Is the “Khans” Box Office Dominance Coming to an End?

For three decades, the three Khans—Shah Rukh, Salman, and Aamir—ruled the Indian box office. But the massive success of Dhurandhar by Ranveer Singh, along with the recent hits of Ranbir Kapoor (Animal) and Allu Arjun (Pushpa 2), suggests a shift in power. While Shah Rukh Khan had a legendary 2023, the younger generation is now consistently hitting the ₹800-₹1000 crore mark. Dhurandhar proves that if the content is “massy” and high-quality, the audience is ready to crown new superstars.

Conclusion

Dhurandhar is more than just a movie; it is a milestone. It has brought Bollywood back to the top of the mountain and established Ranveer Singh as a global force. Whether it is the action, the direction, or the patriotic theme, everything clicked perfectly for this film.
