Dhurandhar Box Office Day 3: Ranveer Singh’s Spy Thriller Roars Past Expectations, Nears ₹100 Crore Opening Weekend
Aditya Dhar’s big-scale action drama Dhurandhar is emerging as one of 2025’s most powerful box-office performers, pulling in huge crowds across major metropolitan cities.

Featuring Ranveer Singh in a commanding lead performance, the spy thriller has generated excitement for its high-stakes plot, ensemble cast, and intense portrayal of undercover intelligence missions by R&AW.

As per early numbers reported by trade tracker Sacnilk, Dhurandhar earned ₹38.75 crore on Day 3, pushing its total to ₹98.75 crore (all languages) by Sunday evening.

What Dhurandhar Is About
Directed, written and co-produced by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar is inspired by real geopolitical tensions and intelligence operations linked to India’s R&AW. The narrative explores the dark underbelly of Karachi’s Lyari region, spotlighting syndicates, gang networks and cross-border espionage.
The film was shot across visually diverse locations including:

Its music and background score, composed by Shashwat Sachdev, have also earned strong audience appreciation.
A Two-Part Cinematic Franchise
Produced by Jio Studios and B62 Studios, Dhurandhar marks the beginning of a two-part series. The follow-up, Dhurandhar Part 2, is scheduled for release on 19 March 2026, and will continue the narrative set by this instalment.
A Promising Road Ahead
With a star-powered cast, positive audience feedback, and rapidly rising box office numbers, Dhurandhar appears well positioned to maintain its momentum as it enters the weekdays. If current trends hold, the film could become one of the earliest blockbusters of 2025.
