Ranveer Singh’s “Dharindhar” Shatters Box Office Records, Earns ₹61.7 Crore in Two Days
Ranveer Singh’s latest action-packed film, “Dharindhar,” has taken the box office by storm, setting new benchmarks and dominating earnings
Ranveer Singh’s latest action-packed film, “Dharindhar,” has taken the box office by storm, setting new benchmarks and dominating earnings since its release. The film, directed by Aditya Dhar, has not only met but exceeded expectations, breaking multiple records in its opening weekend.
A Record-Shattering Start
Dharindhar opened to massive crowds on Friday and saw a significant surge in collections on Saturday. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, the film achieved the following remarkable figures:
- Day 1 (Friday): ₹28.6 crore (net)
- Day 2 (Saturday): ₹33.1 crore (net)
- Total 2-Day India Collection: ₹61.7 crore (net)
This makes it the third biggest opening weekend for a Bollywood film in 2025, trailing only Chhaava and Housefull 5.
Five Major Records Broken
The film’s explosive performance has led to it rewriting history in several categories:
- Ranveer Singh’s Biggest Single Day: It surpassed the actor’s previous best single-day collection held by Padmaavat (₹32 crore in 2018).
- Aditya Dhar’s Biggest Single Day: It broke the record held by his own film, Uri: The Surgical Strike.
- COVID-Era Milestone: It became the third-highest two-day opener in the post-COVID era for Bollywood.
- 2025’s Top Weekend: It entered the list of the Top 3 opening weekends of the year.
- Industry Leader: It outperformed other major 2025 releases like Saiyara and War 2 in its initial collection.
Cast, Context, and Future Projections
The film features a stellar ensemble cast including Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, Akshaye Khanna, and R. Madhavan alongside Ranveer Singh. Made on a reported grand budget of approximately ₹250 crores, Dharindhar faces the challenge of maintaining its momentum to become a commercial hit.
With no major Bollywood release scheduled until the Christmas 2025 film Tu Meri Mein Tera, the path is clear for Dharindhar to continue its box office reign. If current trends hold, the film is well on its way to recovery and setting new all-time records.
