₹400 crore and counting! Ranveer–Akshaye’s Dhurandhar dominates box office

The film has earned ₹411.75 crore across all languages in India within 12 days of release, trade reports said.

Directed by Aditya Dhar and produced by Jio Studios and B62 Studios, Dhurandhar also stars 20-year-old Sara Arjun as Ranveer Singh’s romantic interest. The ensemble cast includes Sanjay Dutt and R. Madhavan in pivotal roles.

Set against major real-life events such as the 1999 IC-814 hijacking and the 2001 Parliament attack, the film traces a covert Indian intelligence operation aimed at infiltrating and dismantling Pakistan-based terror and criminal networks.

At the heart of the narrative is a high-stakes mission led by senior intelligence officials, who deploy an unconventional asset to penetrate Karachi’s underworld. The operation triggers intense clashes, shifting loyalties and power struggles.

With a runtime exceeding three hours, Dhurandhar blends espionage, large-scale action and geopolitical drama, while ending with a clear setup for a sequel.

Apart from Ranveer Singh’s performance, Akshaye Khanna’s screen presence and stylised look have sparked a frenzy on social media.

His entry sequence, set to Flipperachi’s trending track FA9LA, has gone viral, with many viewers describing it as a powerful throwback to his earlier screen persona.
