Is Ranveer Singh’s latest action thriller a box office blockbuster? Yes — and it’s smashing records in the process.
‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge’ has netted Rs 899 crore by its 13th day in cinemas, putting it firmly in blockbuster territory. The film, starring Ranveer Singh alongside veteran actor Rakesh Bedi, is clearly striking a chord with audiences across India.
What’s driving the collections?
The action-packed revenge thriller has tapped into what Indian audiences love — high-octane sequences, emotional depth, and strong performances. Ranveer Singh’s star power continues to be a major draw, especially for mass audiences who flock to cinema halls for larger-than-life entertainment.
The film’s opening week was particularly strong, and crucially, it hasn’t seen a sharp drop-off. That’s the real story here. Collections holding up this well into the second week suggest word-of-mouth is positive and families are coming back for repeat viewings.
The bigger picture for Hindi cinema
This is good news for Bollywood. After a shaky few months, a mainstream film performing this consistently shows that audiences still have appetite for theatrical releases. They’re willing to pay for cinema tickets when the content delivers.
The presence of Rakesh Bedi, known for his sharp comedic timing, has also added a different flavor to the film. It’s not just action — there’s humor woven in, which broadens the film’s appeal beyond just adrenaline junkies.
These kinds of collections matter for the entire ecosystem. When a film does well, producers greenlight more projects, actors get better scripts, and the industry keeps moving forward. Right now, ‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge’ is doing exactly what a big-budget film should — entertaining people and making money.
The film’s trajectory will be interesting to watch in its coming weeks. Typically, action thrillers see steeper drops after day 10, but if this one can hold on to decent collections through its third weekend, it could end up being one of the bigger hits of the year.
For now, if you haven’t caught it yet and you’re a fan of revenge dramas with plenty of punch, cinemas are packed for a reason.
