Dhurandhar Scripts History by Inaugurating the ₹800 Crore Club for Hindi Cinema
Hindi cinema has witnessed many landmark moments over the decades, but few achievements redefine the very ceiling of box office potential. Dhurandhar, directed by Aditya Dhar, has now etched its name into history by becoming the first Hindi film to cross the ₹800 crore nett mark in India, inaugurating an elite club that once felt almost unattainable.
As of its 30th day in theatres, Dhurandhar has amassed an astounding ₹806–808 crore nett collection, a feat that seemed nearly impossible just a month ago. What makes this achievement even more remarkable is the speed, consistency, and scale with which the film has performed across circuits, from metros to mass belts. Strong word of mouth, repeat audiences, and sustained occupancy levels have ensured that the film did not slow down even after completing four weeks at the box office.With this monumental run, Dhurandhar is now firmly on track to become the highest-grossing Hindi film of all time, poised to surpass the existing lifetime record held by Pushpa 2 at ₹830 crore nett. Trade analysts believe that if the film maintains its momentum through the coming weekend, it could even flirt with the ₹900 crore club, pushing Hindi cinema into uncharted territory.
Aditya Dhar’s directorial has also created multiple historic benchmarks along the way. Dhurandhar has officially founded and conquered several elite box office clubs in Hindi cinema, including the ₹650 crore, ₹700 crore, ₹750 crore, and now the prestigious ₹800 crore club. Each milestone reflects not just massive footfalls, but also the film’s universal appeal cutting across language, region, and demographic barriers.Backed by Jio Studios and B62 Studios, Dhurandhar stands tall as an ALL-TIME MEGA BLOCKBUSTER, redefining what is commercially possible for a Hindi-language film in the domestic market.
Beyond numbers, the film’s success symbolizes the power of compelling storytelling combined with scale, emotion, and technical finesse.As the industry watches closely, Dhurandhar continues its unstoppable march, not just breaking records, but rewriting the history of Indian cinema one crore at a time.
