Ranveer Singh's spy thriller Dhurandhar, directed by Aditya Dhar, continued its blockbuster run on Christmas Day (December 25, 2025), marking its 21st day in theaters with a massive surge in collections. The film, which released on December 5, 2025, added approximately Rs 26 crore net in India on this festive holiday, benefiting from strong holiday footfalls and positive word-of-mouth. This performance helped Dhurandhar cross the Rs 633 crore net mark domestically (reaching around Rs 633.5 crore as per early estimates from Sacnilk), solidifying its position as the highest-grossing Hindi film of 2025, surpassing Vicky Kaushal's Chhaava (over Rs 600 crore). Globally, the movie has amassed over Rs 985 crore, nearing the prestigious Rs 1,000 crore club and outperforming several major releases of the year.
In contrast, Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday's romantic comedy Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri (directed by Sameer Vidwans and produced by Dharma Productions) made its theatrical debut on Christmas Day, facing stiff competition from the ongoing Dhurandhar wave. The film opened to early estimates of Rs 7.25 crore net in India on Day 1 (as per Sacnilk), with gross figures reportedly touching around Rs 9 crore. It showed a promising trend with occupancy rising through the day—morning shows at lower levels (around 18%), but evening and night shows climbing to 41% and 40%, respectively—benefiting from the festive mood and family audiences. Despite mixed reviews, the rom-com managed a decent start for a holiday release, though it trailed far behind Dhurandhar's holiday boost.
The clash highlighted the dominance of Dhurandhar, which showed no significant drop despite the new entrant and even recorded higher collections on Christmas compared to its recent weekdays (e.g., Rs 18 crore on the previous Wednesday). Trade analysts noted that Dhurandhar retained strong screen allocation and audience preference due to its mass appeal, action sequences, and Ranveer Singh's star power. Tu Meri Main Tera's opening, while respectable for a rom-com in a crowded festive period, remained in the single-digit range, with expectations now pinned on positive weekend word-of-mouth and New Year celebrations to drive further growth.

As of December 26, 2025, Dhurandhar's momentum shows no signs of slowing, with early morning collections on the fourth Friday already indicating continued strength. Tu Meri Main Tera will need sustained family turnout over the weekend to build on its Day 1 performance. Box office figures are early estimates from trackers like Sacnilk and subject to final revisions; actual numbers may vary slightly based on regional performance and theater occupancy. Both films are part of Bollywood's strong 2025 lineup, with Dhurandhar emerging as a clear winner in this festive face-off. Always check official trackers for the latest updates.
