Ranveer Singh's powerhouse action drama Dhurandhar, released December 5, 2025, has demolished box office records by crossing Rs 1,000 crore gross in India by Day 56, crowned the highest-grossing Hindi film ever per Sacnilk data. This pure Hindi milestone eclipses multi-language giants Baahubali 2 (Rs 1,417 crore), KGF Chapter 2 (Rs 1,001 crore), and Pushpa 2 (Rs 1,471 crore), succeeding without dubbed versions across South languages. Net collections hit Rs 835.6 crore, with overseas adding Rs 250+ crore, totaling worldwide over Rs 1,350 crore against Rs 275 crore budget—a 400% ROI.

Directed by Uri maestro Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar fictionalizes Indian Army ops against Pakistan's terror nexus, starring Ranveer as a fearless officer battling four iconic terrorists (speculated as Masood Azhar, Hafiz Saeed, Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, and Dawood Ibrahim proxies). The ensemble dazzles with Akshaye Khanna as RAW chief, Arjun Rampal's stern General, Sanjay Dutt's grizzled mentor, R Madhavan's strategist, Sara Arjun's fiery lead, and Rakesh Bedi's comic relief. Its 3hr 34min runtime blends high-octane raids, drone warfare, and Pakistan's ethnic faultlines, earning CBFC 'UA' with punch dialogues like "Bharat ke jawan kabhi haar nahi maante."

Anticipation surges for 'Dhurandhar: The Revenge' (Part 2), CBFC-certified teaser clocks 1min+ with 'A' rating, hitting theaters March 19, 2026—just 105 days post-Part 1. Ranveer's ripped transformation (20kg bulk-up) and VFX-heavy cross-border strikes propelled Week 1 Rs 225 crore, sustained by Republic Day Rs 18 crore (8th weekend). Advance bookings for sequel already Rs 50 crore, eyeing Rs 1,500 crore lifetime as Yash Raj Films plans IMAX re-release.

Critics hail Dhar's "new nationalism grammar"—raw jingoism meets tactical realism, outgrossing Jawan (Rs 640 crore Hindi) and Pathaan (Rs 543 crore). Ranveer's National Award-contending turn revives his box office throne post-Rocky Aur Rani, while co-stars shine: Rampal's intensity rivals Raajneeti, Khanna evokes Special 26. Social media erupts with #Dhurandhar1000Cr trending globally.

This Hindi-only triumph signals Bollywood's dominance resurgence amid Pan-India wave, boosting YRF's spy-action IP toward franchise glory. With Part 2's teaser dropping February 14 (Valentine's boost). Dhurandhar cements Ranveer as all-time commercial king, rewriting record books forever.
