Dhurandhar box office collection day 37: Aditya Dhar’s period spy thriller Dhurandhar, starring Ranveer Singh in the lead role, is still going from strength to strength even during its fifth weekend at the domestic box office. The film has now crossed the Rs 850 crore mark, and is slowly inching towards dethroning Prashanth Neel’s 2022 Kannada action thriller KGF: Chapter 1 to become the third highest grossing Indian film ever domestically.
On Saturday (day 37) at the domestic box office, Dhurandhar earned Rs 5.75 crore, as per Sacnilk. This was a significant improvement on its earnings on Friday (day 36), which stood at Rs 3.50 crore. Even in its fifth week, the film earned over Rs 51 crore in India. However, as per an Instagram post of its production houses, Jio Studios and B62 Studios, the film earned Rs 56.35 crore.
The post also claimed that in the first four weeks since its release last month, Dhurandhar has amassed Rs 784.50 crore at the domestic box office. After adding its week 5 earnings and of this past Friday and Saturday, the total box office collection of the film in India now stands at Rs 850.20 crore. Its earnings on Sunday (day 38) are expected to add a few more crores to its haul, on account of it being a weekend.
Thus, Dhurandhar is now only Rs 9.5 crore away from being the third highest grossing Indian film ever at the domestic box office. That spot is currently held by Yash-starrer KGF: Chapter 2, which amassed Rs 859.70 crore across five Indian languages. However, Dhurandhar’s ascent to the top 2 spots are a rather uphill climb.
The two highest grossing Indian films at the domestic box office are Sukumar’s 2024 Telugu action thriller Pushpa 2: The Rule, starring Allu Arjun, at Rs 1234.10 crore; and SS Rajamouli’s 2017 Telugu action fantasy epic Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, starring Prabhas, which stands at Rs 1030.42 crore. Both the highest grossers at the Indian box office are beyond the lofty milestone of Rs 1000 crore.
But even if Dhurandhar manages to beat KGF: Chapter 2 in the coming days, it would become the highest grossing non-Telugu film of all time at the Indian box office. Worldwide, it’s already surpassed the box office collection of Yash’s film, having amassed over Rs 1250 crore, significantly ahead of the Rs 1215 earned by KFG: Chapter 2 and Rs 1230 earned by Rajamouli’s 2022 period action epic RRR, starring Ram Charan and Jr NTR.

Dhurandhar is the fourth highest grossing Indian film at the global box office, but still way behind the top three grossers — Pushpa 2: The Rule (Rs 1742.10 crore), Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (Rs 1788.06 crore), and Nitesh Tiwari’s 2016 Bollywood family sports drama Dangal (Rs 2070.30 crore). If the Rs 1200 crore from the China box office is excluded from its overall global haul, Aamir Khan’s film would be out of the race, allowing Dhurandhar to become the highest grossing Hindi film ever at the worldwide box office.
