Breaking Records: The ₹1000 Crore Milestone
Dhurandhar is the first Indian film of 2025 and only the 9th Indian film ever to breach the ₹1000 crore mark globally. Most notably, it is the only Bollywood film in this exclusive club that does not feature one of the three Khans (Aamir, Salman, or Shah Rukh) in the lead. Despite its Adult (A) rating, the film’s momentum remains unstoppable across both domestic and international circuits.
