# Dhurandhar's Epic Box Office Triumph: Ranveer Singh's Spy Thriller Crushes Kalki 2898 AD and More! **Imagine a Bollywood film so unstoppable that it dethrones Prabhas' sci-fi giant Kalki 2898 AD and Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan in just three weeks.** That's the reality of *Dhurandhar*, Ranveer Singh and Akshaye Khanna's powerhouse spy thriller, which has redefined box office records.[1][2] Directed by Aditya Dhar, *Dhurandhar* has electrified audiences with its gripping narrative and stellar performances. By day 23, the film raked in **₹668 crore net domestically (₹801.50 crore gross)**, securing its spot as the **5th highest-grossing Indian film ever**—outranking Kalki 2898 AD's ₹653.21 crore and Jawan's ₹640.42 crore.[1][2] No Bollywood movie had crossed ₹650 crore before; *Dhurandhar* shattered that barrier, trailing only pan-India behemoths like Pushpa 2 (₹1265.97 crore), Baahubali 2 (₹1031 crore), KGF Chapter 2 (₹856 crore), and RRR (₹772 crore).[2] Overseas, the momentum is equally ferocious. Fueled by Christmas holidays, it's earning over **$1 million daily abroad**, pushing worldwide gross past **₹1025-1050 crore**.[1][4] This juggernaut has eclipsed lifetime hauls of classics like Raj Kapoor's *Awara* ($25.8 million), *3 Idiots* ($26 million), *Dunki* ($23.7 million), and *My Name is Khan* ($20.3 million).[1] Trade experts predict it'll smash **₹800 crore domestically** and challenge *Pathaan*'s global records soon.[3] What makes *Dhurandhar* a phenomenon? Ranveer's intense lead role, Akshaye Khanna's magnetic presence, and Dhar's taut direction have turned it into a nationwide obsession—drawing crowds from every corner of India despite being Hindi-only.[2] As it hurtles toward the ₹700 crore domestic mark and beyond, it's not just a win for Bollywood; it's proof that spy thrillers can rival the biggest spectacles.[1]
