Box Office Report (January 7, 2026): Dhurandhar Becomes Highest-Grossing Hindi Film, Set to Overtake RRR Worldwide
Ranveer Singh’s spy thriller Dhurandhar has officially rewritten Indian box-office history. Directed by Aditya Dhar, the film has emerged as the highest-grossing Hindi-language film of all time, cementing its place among Indian cinema’s biggest blockbusters.
Despite entering its fifth week in theatres and witnessing an expected slowdown, Dhurandhar continues to dominate the box office both domestically and overseas. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, the film has amassed a staggering ₹1,222 crore worldwide, putting it within touching distance of SS Rajamouli’s RRR, which stands at approximately ₹1,230 crore globally.
Strong Hold Despite Fifth-Week Dip
Like most large-scale releases, Dhurandhar experienced a drop in collections during its fifth week. On Day 32 (fifth Monday), the film saw a 62.75% decline, earning ₹4.75 crore. However, the action thriller bounced back over the weekend, reaffirming its extraordinary theatrical run.
On Day 34 (Wednesday, January 7, 2026), Dhurandhar collected ₹4.25 crore, registering an overall Hindi occupancy of 10.69%—a solid figure for a film running for over a month.
So far, the film has earned:
- ₹786 crore nett in India
- ₹1,222 crore worldwide
These numbers underline the film’s exceptional longevity and repeat audience value.
Dhurandhar Becomes Highest-Grossing Single-Language Indian Film
With its current tally, Dhurandhar has surpassed all previous Hindi-language releases to become the highest-grossing single-language Indian film ever. Its success has been driven by a mix of strong word-of-mouth, mass appeal, slick action sequences, and sustained interest in the spy-thriller genre.
The film features a powerful ensemble cast, including:
- Ranveer Singh
- Akshaye Khanna
- Arjun Rampal
- Sanjay Dutt
- R Madhavan
Each actor’s performance has been widely appreciated, contributing to the film’s broad demographic appeal.
On Track to Surpass RRR Worldwide
Dhurandhar is now poised to surpass the lifetime worldwide collection of RRR, one of Indian cinema’s biggest global successes. While RRR—starring Jr NTR and Ram Charan—finished its run at around ₹1,230 crore worldwide, Dhurandhar is less than ₹10 crore away from eclipsing that milestone.
Trade analysts expect Dhurandhar to cross the RRR mark within the next few days, provided it maintains even modest daily collections.
Sequel Already Announced
Buoyed by the film’s historic success, the makers have officially announced Dhurandhar: Part 2. The sequel is scheduled for release in March 2026 and is set to clash with Yash’s much-anticipated Toxic – A Fairytale for Grown-Ups, promising a major box-office showdown.
Other Releases: Ikkis Box Office Update
Meanwhile, Sriram Raghavan’s Ikkis, starring Dharmendra and Agastya Nanda, continues its theatrical run at a modest pace. On its seventh day, the film collected ₹1.15 crore, taking its total India nett collection to ₹24.25 crore.
Ikkis opened with ₹7 crore on Day 1, followed by:
- ₹3.5 crore on Day 2
- ₹4.65 crore on Day 3
- ₹5 crore on Day 5
The film witnessed its first major drop on Day 5 (Monday), earning ₹1.35 crore, before slightly improving to ₹1.6 crore on Day 6.
Final Verdict
Dhurandhar’s box-office run stands as a landmark achievement for Hindi cinema. With record-breaking domestic earnings, massive overseas traction, and a sequel already in place, the film has firmly established itself as one of the most successful Indian theatrical releases of all time.
