Ranveer Singh’s huge-scale spy thriller Dhurandhar is enjoying a once-in-a-decade theatrical run, and its recent performance has stunned trade experts. Even after nearly two full weeks, the film shows no decline in momentum. The Day 13 business was remarkably strong, holding steady in double digits and proving that the movie’s theatrical grip is rock solid.
From the moment Dhurandhar opened in cinemas, footfall has remained high across A-centers, B-towns, and even single screens — a rare alignment that indicates the movie has clicked with all tiers of audience. The action choreo, large-scale set pieces, brutal hand-to-hand combat, and patriotic espionage narrative have resonated with viewers across India.
⭐ A Phenomenal Day 13 Performance
Business traditionally dips during second-week weekdays, especially after such a massive opening week — yet Dhurandhar continues to defy the odds. Day 13 numbers in the ₹25-crore range demonstrate that families, youth, action fans, and mass audiences are still walking in at scale. Large evening show turnouts are especially helping the business stay high.
⭐ Domestic Earnings Cross ₹430 Crore
With Day 13 locking a big number, the film has now crossed ₹430+ crore nett in India, putting it among the fastest films to reach that figure. The first week alone delivered record-shattering numbers, and the second week has surprised everyone by almost matching some weekend totals of other commercially successful films.
The film’s mass belts, particularly Central India, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, and certain pockets of Maharashtra, are showing no fatigue. Urban markets remain robust, with many premium multiplexes reporting strong evening and night shows.
⭐ Worldwide Earnings Near ₹650 Crore
Globally, Dhurandhar has become one of the most successful Indian releases of the year. Major overseas territories — US/Canada, UK-Europe, UAE (where partially restricted screenings still drew crowds), Australia, and Singapore — have contributed heavily to the international gross.
Word of mouth has propelled second-week international business as well. A movie touching ₹650 crore worldwide in under two weeks places Dhurandhar in an elite league of modern-era blockbusters.
⭐ Ranveer Singh’s Career-Defining Role
Ranveer has often delivered memorable performances, but industry analysts are calling Dhurandhar a career-transforming milestone. His controlled aggression, internalized intensity, and espionage-driven emotional layers mark a departure from his flamboyant past roles, signaling maturity and range.
Fans have praised:
His physical transformation
His combat training
His gripping screen presence
His non-verbal emotional acting
Many are calling it his strongest performance since Padmaavat, with the box office validating the same.
⭐ Stellar Supporting Cast Elevates the Drama
One of the biggest surprises in Dhurandhar is the ensemble cast. Akshaye Khanna brings layered menace, Sanjay Dutt delivers a vintage performance, R. Madhavan adds gravitas, and Arjun Rampal brings slick charisma.
Their chemistry deepens the narrative tension, offering a thrill ride that doesn’t rely solely on the lead star. Many critics seem united in their praise for the well-balanced cast.
⭐ Action, Storytelling & Cinematic Scale
Audiences have repeatedly highlighted that Dhurandhar is not “just an action movie.” The screenplay integrates:
Modern intelligence warfare
Political chess moves
Undercover strategy
Betrayal arcs
High-stakes nationalism
Viewers are engaged through:
Brutal action sequences
Covert-ops realism
A villain with motive
Emotional payoffs
Late-film twists
The film’s climax has reportedly led to audible cheering in theatres — something that has not been common in recent years.
⭐ Occupancy Trends Stay Strong
Across multiplexes and single screens, occupancy for Day 13 is estimated around 30–40%, with many evening shows reaching 50% in metros. This kind of hold in the second week signals:
Repeat viewership
Group viewing
Rising family turnout
Long-run potential
Such traction is precisely why analysts expect Dhurandhar to easily cross more domestic milestones in Week 3.
⭐ Holiday Season Advantage
Now, with Christmas-New Year week approaching, theatrical revenue traditionally spikes. Families and working audiences increase their movie spending. If Dhurandhar capitalizes on this surge, its lifetime domestic earnings may surpass expectations and stretch deep into a 500-crore-plus finish.
The overseas weekend bump may push its global haul well past ₹700 crore — a rare figure.
⭐ Cultural Impact & Industry Shift
Beyond earnings, Dhurandhar marks a dramatic shift in Bollywood exhibition trends:
Action-led event cinema is back
Single screens are alive again
Nationalist thrillers have an audience
Star vehicles still work — if well-made
It also proves that Indian audiences reward tight writing + scale + emotion, not hollow spectacle.
⭐ Final Verdict
Dhurandhar is not just performing well — it is dominating the market. A massive ₹430-crore-plus domestic total and ₹650-crore-plus worldwide gross within 13 days underline that this is a cultural blockbuster.
With holidays ahead, the movie is likely to enter new monetary zones. For Ranveer Singh, directors, producers, exhibitors and theatre owners — Dhurandhar is a once-in-a-generation win.
