\u20b9600 crore hit beaten Chhaava, Kantara Chapter 1 | Analysis” data-collapse-article=”false” > <\/p>\n

Dhurandhar has raked in over \u20b9600 crore worldwide on a \u20b9140 crore budget. Is that enough to make it the year’s most successful Indian film. <\/p>\n

Dhurandhar <\/a>has taken the country by storm. The Ranveer Singh<\/a>-starrer has registered record collections in its second week so far, setting a new record each day with unprecedented hold at the ticket window. This has enabled the film to cross the \u20b9600 crore barrier in just 11 days, and avoid any major drops in earnings even on weekdays. But has it been enough to make it the year\u2019s biggest hit in India? We analyse:<\/p>\n

After ending week one with a worldwide gross of \u20b9319 crore, Dhurandhar found a new lease of life in its second weekend, galloping past the \u20b9400-crore and \u20b9500-crore marks with ease. At the end of 12 days, the film has earned \u20b9639 crore gross worldwide, making it the third-highest-grossing Indian film of the year. The two films ahead of it are the other big blockbusters of 2025: Kantara Chapter One ( \u20b9851 crore) and Chhaava ( \u20b9808 crore).<\/p>\n

Has Dhurandhar beaten Chhaava and Kantara Chapter One<\/p>\n

In terms of profitability, Dhurandhar has done well already. Its net earnings stand at nearly \u20b9500 crore. Reports state that the landing cost for the first part of the film is close to \u20b9140 crore, which means that it has earned a profit of 250-260% already.<\/p>\n

However, both Chhaava and Kantara Chapter One are currently ahead of Dhurandhar in this metric. Chhaava had estimated net earnings of \u20b9650 crore on a \u20b9125 crore budget, a profit of 420%, while Kantara Chapter One netted \u20b9680 crore on a \u20b9150 crore budget (350% profit). Dhurandhar would need net earnings of over \u20b9725 crore, corresponding to a worldwide gross of over \u20b9950 crore, to beat Chhaava. Trade pundits estimate that the film could go beyond that mark and even touch the \u20b91000 crore mark. If that happens, it will become the biggest hit of the year among major releases.<\/p>\n

The one film Dhurandhar can never beat<\/p>\n

But you will notice that Dhurandhar can only become the biggest hit among \u2018major\u2019 releases. That is because the tag of the most profitable Indian film of 2025 has already been taken by a little-heralded Gujarati blockbuster. Laalo – Krishna Sada Sahaayte was made on a \u20b950 lakh budget, and grossed a staggering \u20b9111 crore. Its net earnings are over \u20b985 crore, which gives it an almost unbelievable profit of 17000%. Just how high is it, you ask? So high that Dhurandhar would need to earn \u20b924000 crore (more than Titanic and Avatar 2) to outdo it.<\/p>\n
