Massive Milestone! Dhurandhar Overtakes Animal; Next Target: Jawan and Chhaava!
It is fascinating to see Dhurandhar making such a massive impact! As of December 22, 2025, the film has indeed entered the history books by outperforming Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal in terms of domestic lifetime collections.
Aditya Dhar’s spy thriller is proving to be a "runaway
train" at the box office, particularly after an explosive third weekend
that saw it eclipse even major Hollywood competition like Avatar: Fire and
Ash.

Why "Dhurandhar" is Setting Records:
- Faster
than the Giants: By crossing the ₹500 crore mark in just 17 days, it
has outpaced Jawan (18 days) and Stree 2, making it one of
the fastest Hindi films to hit this milestone.
- No
Dubbing Needed: Unlike Animal or Pathaan, which had
significant contributions from dubbed versions (Tamil/Telugu), Dhurandhar
is achieving these historic numbers predominantly through its Hindi
version.
- Third-Weekend
Tsunami: It recorded the highest-ever third-weekend collection for a
Hindi film, earning nearly ₹95 crore between Friday and Sunday.
- Global
Footprint: It has already become the highest-grossing Indian film of
2025 internationally, surpassing Rajinikanth’s Coolie.
What’s Next for the Film?
With the Christmas holiday period beginning, trade analysts are predicting that it will easily surpass ₹600 crore domestically by next week. It is currently eyeing the records of Chhaava (₹601 crore) and Jawan (₹640 crore) to potentially become the #1 Hindi film in India.
