Ranveer Singh's *Dhurandhar* may have ignited the box office with an explosive opening weekend, but it couldn't quite outpace the opening weekend collection of Vicky Kaushal's *Chhaava*. Despite *Dhurandhar* crossing an impressive ₹100 crore domestically within three days, setting a personal fastest milestone for Ranveer, the film's initial strength faced a tough benchmark set by Kaushal's hit[3][2][1]. *Dhurandhar* launched on December 5, 2025, as a high-octane spy thriller directed by Aditya Dhar, showcasing Ranveer Singh as a daring undercover operative. The film's opening day collection stood at around ₹28 crore but quickly accelerated to ₹43 crore by day three, culminating in a ₹119 crore gross domestically and ₹140 crore worldwide over the weekend[3][2][5]. This feat positions *Dhurandhar* as one of Ranveer's highest-grossing films and surpasses previous hits like *Dil Dhadakne Do* and *Gunday* in lifetime collections. However, it falls just short of eclipsing *Chhaava*, which still holds the edge in opening weekend earnings[3]. What sets *Dhurandhar* apart is the momentum it gained despite a slow start, driven particularly by packed shows across metros and strong turnout in tier 2 and tier 3 cities. Sunday saw the highest footfall with a 70.07% occupancy rate, signaling positive word-of-mouth and audience enthusiasm for the espionage genre[3][4]. Ranveer Singh's dynamic performance combined with the film's sleek action sequences contributed to its commercial success, though it highlights the intensifying competition in Bollywood's action thriller space.
