Dhurandhar, the spy action thriller starring Ranveer Singh, has achieved a major box office milestone. The film has now entered the top 10 highest-grossing Indian films of all time based on its India collection. It overtook Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Animal, marking a historic surge for a 2025 release.
Top 10 Highest-Grossing Movies List
On its third Sunday, Dhurandhar crossed ₹555 crore in India, securing 10th place on the all-time list. This pushed Animal, which had made about ₹553 crore domestically in its lifetime, out of the top ten.
The film now stands behind major blockbusters such as Pushpa: The Rule – Part 2, Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, and KGF Chapter 2 on the India box office charts.
Box Office Momentum Continues
Dhurandhar has shown strong momentum throughout its run. It recorded significant weekend performances and surpassed multiple long-standing benchmarks for Saturday and Sunday earnings.
Industry trackers note the film’s ability to draw audiences deep into its third week — a sign of sustained word-of-mouth and repeat viewership.
Animal vs Dhurandhar: A Respectful Rivalry
Though Dhurandhar dethroned Animal in the offices of box office rankings, veteran filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga praised the film. He wrote, “DHURANDHAR is built like a man who doesn’t talk much & carries a masculine spine… The depiction is very clear with zero chaos.”
Sandeep Reddy Vanga highlighted the strength of performances and direction, noting how characters and narrative leave a strong imprint. Director Aditya Dhar responded gratefully, saying Vanga’s words lend the film “quiet validation” and praising his directorial courage.
How Dhurandhar Stands Among 2025 Releases?
Dhurandhar is one of 2025’s biggest hits, joining the ranks of films like Kantara: A Legend Chapter-1 and Chhaava that have also booked massive box office numbers. It has outperformed many contemporaries not only in India but also in key overseas markets, reflecting its broad audience appeal.
Global Popularity and Overseas Impact
Dhurandhar is not just a domestic hit — it is also gaining traction internationally. It recently became one of the top-grossing Indian films in North America, surpassing several classics to enter the global top ranks. This crossover success underscores the film’s global audience appeal, particularly among the Indian diaspora.
Why This Milestone Matters?
Breaking into the all-time top 10 list is rare for a film released late in the year. This achievement highlights not only box office firepower but also a strong balance between content, star power, and audience engagement.
Compared to films released earlier in 2025, Dhurandhar’s rise suggests a growing trend where action-driven narratives and long theatrical runs can still dominate public interest.
What’s Next for Dhurandhar?
With continued theatre presence and global reach, Dhurandhar is poised to climb further up the box office rankings. Analysts predict it could surpass additional milestones and challenge higher spots on the list if momentum holds. Fans and industry insiders are watching closely as the film aims for even greater heights at year’s end.
