Dhurandhar Box Office Collection Day 1: Ranveer Singh’s Spy-Thriller Impresses Audiences, Registers Strong Opening

Ranveer Singh’s much-awaited spy thriller Dhurandhar, directed by Aditya Dhar, finally hit theatres worldwide on December 5, 2025, and the film has opened to a highly positive response from viewers. Featuring a powerhouse ensemble cast that includes Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, R. Madhavan, and Arjun Rampal, the film marks the first-ever collaboration between Aditya Dhar and Ranveer Singh—one that fans had been eagerly anticipating.

A Promising Start at the Box Office

The buzz around the movie was already high thanks to its gripping trailer, which garnered excellent reactions across social media and built strong pre-release hype. According to early estimates from industry tracker Sacnilk, Dhurandhar collected ₹2.49 crore by 10:30 am on its opening day. With evening and night shows expected to see much higher footfall, the final Day 1 figures are likely to climb significantly.

About the Film

Directed by National Award–winner Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar unfolds in the infamous gangster-dominated region of Lyari in Pakistan, setting the stage for a gritty narrative filled with action, espionage, and high-stakes drama. The film has been released on approximately 5,000 screens across India, highlighting its massive scale and the confidence of the makers in its box office potential.

Advance Bookings Performance

Advance bookings for Dhurandhar kicked off on Monday and initially showed impressive momentum, crossing the ₹1 crore mark swiftly. Although sales slowed down slightly afterward, the film still managed to achieve notable numbers. By 2 pm on Wednesday, roughly a day and a half before its release, the film’s advance bookings reached ₹2.28 crore, with nearly 50,000 tickets sold across the country.

How Much Will Dhurandhar Collect?

Trade analysts have been optimistic about the film’s prospects, predicting an opening day collection in the range of ₹18–20 crore, possibly even touching ₹20 crore net in India. If these estimates materialize, Dhurandhar could emerge as one of the biggest Hindi film openers of the year, competing with top performers like Saiyaara (₹21.50 crore) and Chaava (₹31 crore).

With strong word of mouth, a star-studded cast, and a gripping narrative, it remains to be seen whether Dhurandhar will break existing records—but its early performance definitely signals a promising run ahead.
