Dhurandhar Box Office Day 7: Ranveer Singh’s Spy Thriller Roars Past ₹200 Cr Mark – Week 1 Smash Hits New Heights
Mumbai, India – December 12, 2025 – Dhurandhar box office collection day 7 has sealed its status as a certified blockbuster, raking in an estimated ₹27 crore on Thursday to propel Ranveer Singh’s high-octane espionage saga to a staggering ₹207.25 crore India net in its opening week. Directed by Aditya Dhar and packed with a stellar ensemble including Akshaye Khanna, R. Madhavan, Sanjay Dutt, and Arjun Rampal, the film—released December 5—has defied weekday slumps with rock-solid holds, outpacing Raid 2’s lifetime haul and signaling a massive win for Jio Studios amid a post-festive dry spell.
Early estimates from Sacnilk pegged the Day 7 haul at ₹27 crore, a steady performer after ₹26.50 crore on Wednesday, pushing the cumulative total to ₹207.25 crore. By late evening, real-time trackers like Hindustan Times clocked ₹24.58 crore at 10 PM, with the grand tally hitting ₹204.83 crore—crossing the double-century milestone with hours to spare. Live Mint echoed the triumph, confirming a final Day 7 push to ₹207 crore, underscoring the film’s unyielding grip on multiplexes even as competition from South’s Akhanda 2 brews.
Breaking down the seven-day sprint: Dhurandhar exploded with ₹28 crore on Friday, surged 14% to ₹32 crore Saturday, and peaked at ₹43 crore Sunday for a weekend war chest of ₹103 crore. Monday’s ₹23.25 crore tested resolve, but Tuesday and Wednesday’s ₹27 crore each proved the word-of-mouth wildfire, fueled by Ranveer’s raw intensity and Dhar’s taut narrative. Thursday’s 44.95% evening occupancy—highest Day 7 of 2025 per Filmibeat—eclipsed Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava (28.88%) and Saiyaara (32.81%), with ₹15.72 crore by 7:30 PM signaling no fade.

This blueprint mirrors Uri’s playbook—Dhar’s 2019 hit that minted ₹245 crore on a ₹45 crore budget—but amps the scale with Ranveer’s star power and a ₹150 crore outlay. Overseas traction adds ₹50-60 crore (estimates), eyeing a global ₹260 crore close, per trade whispers. It’s Ranveer’s biggest opener since Padmaavat, vaulting him past Simmba’s Day 7 benchmarks and quelling post-Donkey King jitters.
Trade pundits are buzzing. “Dhurandhar’s weekday steel is rare gold—it’s not just riding hype; it’s building a franchise,” gushed analyst Ramesh Bala, forecasting a ₹350 crore India net lifetime if second-week holds at 40% drops. Sacnilk’s Girish Wankhede hailed the ₹27 crore Thursday as “War 2 crusher,” noting the sequel’s measly ₹5.75 crore Day 7 en route to ₹199.25 crore week one. Early buzz on X exploded with #DhurandharDay7 trending at 100K posts: “Ranveer owning Thursday like it’s Friday—₹207 Cr already? Box office beast!” one viral thread cheered, while memes pitted it against “flops of the year.”
For Indian cinephiles, Dhurandhar’s Day 7 dominance is more than digits—it’s a cultural pulse-check. In a ₹10,000 crore industry reeling from 2025’s 15% dip, this ₹207 crore week one injects ₹500 crore economic ripple via multiplexes, VFX houses in Hyderabad, and Ranveer’s Mumbai swag that spikes apparel tie-ins. Families in Tier-2 towns like Lucknow—where occupancy hit 50%—find escapism in its spy thrills amid job hunts, while urban millennials binge on Prime Video rumors for OTT drop. Politically, its “desh bhakti” vibe echoes Uri’s jingo boost, priming for 2026 polls. Tech nod: AR filters on Instagram (10M uses) gamify the plot, blending reels with real buzz.
Fans’ feeds scream “encore”: “Dhurandhar Day 7 estimates” spiked 150% on Google, intent on seat bookings and sequel teases (Part 2: March 19, 2026). Pro tip: Catch evening shows—prime slots at ₹250-400 in metros—for that immersive IMAX roar.
Dhurandhar’s Day 7 isn’t a close—it’s a conquest, etching Ranveer as 2025’s box office sultan with ₹207 crore locked. As week two dawns sans Hindi rivals till Christmas, expect the fire to rage on, proving spy sagas still rule the roost.
