Dhurandhar has officially rewritten the rules of the Indian box office. With a staggering lifetime collection of Rs. 831.40 crore, the film has surged to the very top of the all-time highest grossers list, dethroning some of the biggest modern-era blockbusters and cementing its place in cinematic history.
In doing so, Dhurandhar has edged past Pushpa 2 – The Rule, which now stands at Rs. 830.10 crore, making the race for the top spot one of the closest and most fiercely contested in recent times. The narrow margin only underlines how exceptional Dhurandhar’s theatrical run has been, sustained by extraordinary word of mouth and repeat audience footfalls well beyond the initial weeks of release.
The film’s achievement looks even more monumental when viewed against the giants it has surpassed. Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan, a film that redefined mass appeal and theatrical frenzy, currently holds Rs. 643.87 crore, while Stree 2 follows closely with Rs. 627.02 crore, proving that content-driven entertainers can compete shoulder to shoulder with big-scale spectacles. Chhaava has also enjoyed a historic run, crossing Rs. 600.10 crore, further underlining how 2025 has been a year of unprecedented box office momentum.
Further down the list are films that once seemed untouchable. Animal amassed Rs. 556.36 crore, while Pathaan closed its historic run at Rs. 543.05 crore, both films playing defining roles in reshaping the post-pandemic theatrical landscape. Sunny Deol’s Gadar 2, powered by nostalgia and mass appeal, collected Rs. 525.45 crore, reinforcing the enduring pull of legacy franchises.
What makes Dhurandhar’s feat even more remarkable is that it has gone past landmark global phenomena like Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, which stood tall at Rs. 510.99 crore, and KGF: Chapter 2, which had earlier raised the bar with Rs. 434.70 crore. These films were long considered benchmarks for pan-India success, making Dhurandhar’s ascent to the top all the more significant.
With its record-breaking total, Dhurandhar hasn’t just emerged as a blockbuster — it has become a reference point for future big-ticket releases. In an era where audience attention is fragmented and theatrical windows are fiercely competitive, the film’s ability to dominate the box office on this scale signals a renewed confidence in big-screen spectacles done right. For now, Dhurandhar sits firmly at the summit, setting a benchmark that will be extraordinarily difficult to beat.
