Dhurandhar Box Office: Ranveer Singh Film Smashes All-Time 4th Weekend and Week Record, Beats Pushpa 2

Mumbai, December 28 "“ Ranveer Singh-starrer Dhurandhar has once again rewritten the Bollywood box office record books by delivering an unprecedented fourth weekend domestically. The Aditya Dhar-directed spy action thriller has emerged not just as a blockbuster but as a historic theatrical phenomenon, setting benchmarks that are looking unreal. Dhurandhar collected a massive 58 crore net collection in its 4th weekend, after another 20+ crores on Sunday. What makes the achievement even more extraordinary is that the film has also gone on to register the biggest fourth week in Hindi, comfortably surpassing Allu Arjun's Pushpa 2 - The Rule, which had collected 53.75 crore net in its fourth week. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) These are unheard numbers for an Indian film in the 4th week. With this sensational run, Dhurandhar's total domestic net collection has crossed 690 crore in just 24 days, which is already the highest-ever net total for a Bollywood film. No other Hindi film in history has managed to reach this milestone, underlining the film's exceptional word-of-mouth and repeat audience value. The film's sustained dominance at the box office is particularly remarkable given that collections usually witness a sharp decline after the third week. Instead, Dhurandhar has defied conventional trends, maintaining strong occupancy across multiplexes and mass circuits alike, while continuing to draw audiences despite new releases over the Christmas weekend. Dhurandhar will be crossing the 700 crores mark by tomorrow or Tuesday, and then, its journey to beat Pushpa 2's 800+ crores Hindi net will commence. With new releases failing to challenge the film's dominance, the Ranveer Singh-starrer is well on course to become the number 1 Hindi grosser of all-time. Stay tuned...

Dhurandhar Box Office: Ranveer Singh-starrer Becomes The Highest-Grossing Bollywood Film Domestically

Mumbai, December 26 - Jio Studios and B62 Studios' spy action thriller Dhurandhar, starring Ranveer Singh, has become the highest-grossing Bollywood film at the Indian box office, surpassing superstar Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan in just three 3 weeks. Displaying unprecedented box office dominance, Aditya Dhar's directorial continues to crush every release in its path, with Jawan becoming its latest casualty. The 2023 Shah Rukh Khan-fronted action drama had amassed an impressive 760 crore gross in India, a figure that has now been outnumbered by Dhurandhar, cementing its position as the biggest Bollywood blockbuster ever in the domestic market. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) When it comes to Hindi language grossers, only Allu Arjun's Pushpa 2: The Rule currently stands ahead of Dhurandhar. The Telugu juggernaut charted its own historic run, nearly touching the 1000 crore (950+ crores) mark in its Hindi-dubbed version in India. Dhurandhar is trending stronger than Pushpa 2 currently, and if the momentum sustains, it could well become the highest-grossing Hindi film of all time. By the end of its fourth Friday, Dhurandhar will overtake Prabhas-fronted Kalki 2898 AD (767 crore India gross) to become the fifth highest-grossing film of all time in India. Notably, all four films above it on the list enjoyed the advantage of multilingual releases, an advantage that Dhurandhar does not have. On the worldwide front, the first instalment of the two-part saga is set to cross the 1000 crore gross milestone by the end of today. With this, Dhurandhar will become the first Indian film of 2025 and the ninth film of all time to enter the coveted 1000 crore club globally. Stay tuned...

Upcoming Films of Allu Arjun: A Power-Packed Line-Up For Icon Star

Hyderabad, December 24 "“ Following the career-defining success of Pushpa 2 - The Rule, Telugu superstar Allu Arjun is gearing up for one of the most exciting phases of his career. After redefining pan-India stardom with the Pushpa franchise, the Icon Star has lined up an ambitious slate of projects that bring together some of the most influential filmmakers in South Indian cinema. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The biggest and most advanced project in the pipeline is Allu Arjun's collaboration with blockbuster director Atlee. Currently in production, the sci-fi film, tentatively called AA22xA6, is shaping up to be a large-scale entertainer with global appeal. Given Atlee's track record with high-octane spectacles, expectations from this project are sky-high. One of the most exciting prospects in Allu Arjun's line-up is the near-confirmed collaboration with Lokesh Kanagaraj, the filmmaker behind the Lokesh Cinematic Universe. Currently in advance stage of discussions, the film could see Allu Arjun in a gritty, intense avatar unlike anything he has done before. Lokesh has reportedly put his Kaithi 2 in backburner for Allu Arjun's film, which is likely to start after AA22. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) A collaboration, which was supposed to happen immediately after Pushpa 2, AA's film with his Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo director Trivikram Srinivas, is back on track and is said to be confirmed. Trivikram was initially supposed to collaborate with Jr. NTR on the same script, a mythological epic, but it is now back with Allu Arjun, who was originally going to headline it. The duo has previously delivered cult hits and blockbusters. As per reports, it will go on floors in March 2027. Before the aforementioned three films, Allu Arjun announced his maiden collaboration with Sandeep Reddy Vanga, but the project was pushed back for some reasons. It has been one of the most talked-about collaborations, with Sandeep Reddy Vanga, known for his intense and polarising storytelling. While the timeline of the project is not yet known, the film is reportedly confirmed, despite no updates since its official announcement a couple of years ago. With directors like Atlee, Lokesh Kanagaraj, Trivikram, and Sandeep Reddy Vanga in his line-up, Allu Arjun is clearly positioning himself at the crossroads of mass cinema and auteur-driven storytelling. This power-packed slate not only reinforces the actor's pan-India dominance but also signals a bold creative evolution for him, who seems to be in no mood to look back. Stay tuned...

Pan-India Power Report 2025: Kantara Ch 1 Mints 223 Cr in Hindi; A Reality Check for Southern Dubs in 2025

2025 has been the year of the Pan India Reality Check. The Hindi audience has become ruthless embracing authentic rooted stories like Kantara with open arms while coldly rejecting generic mass actioners, even those starring heavyweights like Pawan Kalyan and Kamal Haasan. While Rishab Shetty emerged as the undisputed king of the Hindi box office this year, other highly anticipated projects like Lokesh Kanagaraj's Coolie and Suriya's Retro posted numbers that fell short of their astronomical pre release hype.From folklore to gangster dramas, here is the ultimate report card of how South Indian films performed in the Hindi belt this year. Movie Industry Hindi Net Collection Kantara: Chapter 1 Sandalwood ₹223.79 Cr Coolie Kollywood ₹37.23 Cr Game Changer Tollywood ₹32.93 Cr Mirai Tollywood ₹16.86 Cr Baahubali: The Epic Animation ₹6.94 Cr HIT: The Third Case Tollywood ₹4.11 Cr Kannappa Tollywood ₹3.98 Cr Lokah: Chapter 1 Mollywood ₹3.78 Cr They Call Him OG Tollywood ₹3.36 Cr L2: Empuraan Mollywood ₹2.59 Cr Thug Life Kollywood ₹1.70 Cr The Girlfriend Tollywood ₹ 0.60 Cr Madharasi Kollywood ₹0.50 Cr Retro Kollywood ₹ 0.49 Cr Daaku Maharaaj Tollywood ₹ 0.40 Cr Hari Hara Veera Mallu Tollywood ₹ 0.33 Cr Bad Girl Kollywood ₹0.06 Cr 1. Kantara:Chapter 1 Industry:Sandalwood (Kannada) Director:Rishab Shetty Star Cast:Rishab Shetty,Rukmini Vasanth"¨ The prequel to the 2022 divine blockbuster Kantara shattered ceilings. Delving deeper into the origins of the Panjurli Daiva during the Kadamba era, the film offered a visual spectacle that was both raw and grandiose. The Divine climax once again became a cultural talking point, driving repeat audiences in Maharashtra and the Hindi belt. It stands as the only true All Time Blockbuster from the South in Hindi this year. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) 2. Coolie Industry:Kollywood (Tamil) Director:Lokesh Kanagaraj Star Cast:Rajinikanth, Nagarjuna, Shruti Haasan, Soubin Shahir."¨ The union of Thalaivar Rajinikanth and director Lokesh Kanagaraj was expected to set the screens on fire. A stylish gangster drama involving a gold-smuggling syndicate, the film had massive hype. However, the Hindi numbers (₹ 37.23 Cr) suggest it played more to the gallery of existing fans rather than breaking out to the neutral Hindi audience like Vikram or Jailer. 3.Game Changer Industry:Tollywood (Telugu) Director:S. Shankar Star Cast:Ram Charan, Kiara Advani."¨ Coming off the global high of RRR, Ram Charan teamed up with the showman Shankar. While the film's political theme resonated in the South, the Hindi audience found the narrative slightly dated. ₹ 32.93 Cr is a respectable total but falls short of the expectations set for a Ram Charan and Shankar collaboration. 4.Mirai Industry:Tollywood (Telugu) Director:Karthik Ghattamaneni Star Cast:Teja Sajja, Ritika Nayak. "¨The surprise package of the year. After HanuMan, Teja Sajja cemented his position with Mirai.

Baahubali:The Epic Industry:Pan India (Re-release/Edit) Director:S.S. Rajamouli Star Cast:Prabhas,Anushka Shetty"¨ To celebrate the franchise's legacy, the makers released a special Single Film edit of the two part saga with remastered visuals.While die hard fans turned up, the ₹ 6.95 Cr collection proves that the audience prefers new content over nostalgia trips in theaters. 6. HIT:The Third Case Industry:Tollywood (Telugu) Director:Sailesh Kolanu Star Cast:Nani, Srinidhi Shetty."¨ Nani entered the HIT universe as Arjun Sarkar. While the film was a critical success in Telugu, the dark, gritty thriller genre has a limited ceiling in the Hindi dubbed market unless backed by massive marketing, reflected in its niche ₹ 4.11 Cr collection. 7. Kannappa Industry:Tollywood (Telugu) Director:Mukesh Kumar Singh Star Cast:Vishnu Manchu,Preity Mukhundhan (Cameos: Prabhas, Akshay Kumar, Mohanlal)."¨ Despite a star-studded lineup of cameos including Prabhas and Akshay Kumar, this mythological drama starring Vishnu Manchu failed to generate buzz in the Hindi belt, collecting a meager ₹ 3.98 Cr. 8. Lokah:Chapter 1 - Chandra Industry:Mollywood(Malayalam) Director:Dominic Arun Star Cast:Kalyani Priyadarshan, Naslen, Sandy. "¨Malayalam cinema's ambitious entry into the superhero genre! Starring Kalyani Priyadarshan, the film was praised for its VFX and unique world-building.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) 9.They Call Him OG Industry:Tollywood (Telugu) Director:Sujeeth Star Cast:Pawan Kalyan, Priyanka Mohan."¨ The biggest shocker of the list. Pawan Kalyan's gangster drama, despite featuring Emraan Hashmi as the antagonist, crashed in Hindi with just ₹ 3.36 Cr. It highlights that Pawan Kalyan's stardom is still strictly regional compared to peers like Prabhas or Allu Arjun. 10. L2:Empuraan Industry:Mollywood (Malayalam) Director:Prithviraj Sukumaran Star Cast:Mohanlal, Manju Warrier,Prithviraj. The sequel to Lucifer.

Hari Hara Veera Mallu"¨ Industry:Tollywood (Telugu)"¨ Director:Krish Jagarlamudi,Jyoti Krishna"¨ Star Cast:Pawan Kalyan, Bobby Deol."¨ "¨A delayed period drama that felt stale upon arrival.

While critically acclaimed in festivals, it was virtually non-existent at the Hindi box office. Ultimately, 2025 will be remembered as the year the Hindi market transitioned from being a star reliant territory to a landscape defined by audience discernment. The staggering gap between Kantara (₹223 Cr) and generic mass entertainers highlights a significant shift in viewer preferences. When highly anticipated projects featuring legends struggle to gain traction while a rooted folklore thriller creates history, the trend is undeniable.The era of blind loyalty to formulaic tropes is fading, making way for a new chapter of content supremacy.
