Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar continues its powerhouse run at the box office, clocking an impressive Rs. 29.40 crore on its first Thursday. With this strong hold on Day 7, the film has not only sustained its weekday momentum but also created a new benchmark, emerging as the highest first Thursday grosser of 2025.
The film’s Thursday performance stands significantly ahead of other major releases this year. In comparison, Chhaava another big-ticket Hindi release had recorded Rs. 21.60 crore on its first Thursday, while the romantic drama Saiyaara collected Rs. 19.50 crore on the same day. Even large-scale South-led releases with pan-India appeal, such as Kantara: A Legend – Chapter 1, managed Rs. 7 crore, and Aamir Khan’s Sitaare Zameen Par earned Rs. 6.55 crore on their respective first Thursdays. Against this backdrop, Dhurandhar’s commanding Rs. 29.40 crore puts it firmly in a league of its own.
The film’s ability to deliver such a robust total on a working weekday without the support of a festival is a testament to its strong audience pull. After an exceptional opening weekend and steady weekday holds, Thursday’s number reinforces Dhurandhar’s status as one of the most dominant performers of the year. Its sustained demand across multiplexes and single screens highlights both solid word of mouth and Ranveer Singh’s renewed box office resonance.
Trade circles are now keenly observing how the film performs in its second weekend. With no major competition entering theatres immediately, Dhurandhar is expected to enjoy another strong jump, potentially setting up a blockbuster-level lifetime total.
For now, though, Dhurandhar has decisively rewritten the first-week playbook for 2025 delivering not only one of the strongest day-to-day trends but also claiming the title of the year’s biggest first Thursday grosser, comfortably surpassing every major release so far.
