Dhurandhar Box Office: 2025’s Top Earner
Dhurandhar film has claimed the record for the highest collection in 2025. The film has surpassed the collections of major blockbusters like Kantara Chapter One, Chhava, Sayara, and the pan-India film Coolie, making it the highest-earning film of 2025 so far. It is expected that Dhurandhar will continue its record-breaking box office run for another month.
Dhurandhar’s Record-Breaking Collections
The box office collections for Dhurandhar have been strong even in its third week. The film is close to the ₹1000 crore mark and is projected to surpass it, aiming for even higher earnings. Dhurandhar achieved an India net collection of ₹538 crore 90 lakh within its first 16 days. On its third Sunday, which was its 17th day, the film earned ₹41 crore 10 lakh at the Indian Box Office. Despite it being a Monday on the 18th day, the morning shows maintained strong occupancy compared to the previous day, even with reduced ticket prices. Booking for afternoon, evening, and night shows also remained robust. Reports indicate that Dhurandhar is earning ₹20 crore in the Indian market on its 18th day.
Day-Wise and Total India Collections
With its 18th-day earnings, Dhurandhar’s cumulative all-India net collection stands at ₹600 crore. The film has also crossed the ₹700 crore mark in gross collections in India, with an India gross collection of ₹718 crore 50 lakh so far.
Worldwide Box Office and Overseas Earnings
Dhurandhar’s international collections are also growing rapidly. Despite the release of Avatar 3 globally, Dhurandhar has maintained strong overseas collections in its third week, having earned ₹181 crore 50 lakh from the overseas market. Consequently, the film’s worldwide collection in its first 18 days amounts to ₹900 crore. Dhurandhar has become the highest-grossing film of 2025 worldwide.
Dhurandhar Outperforms Pan-India Films
In terms of 2025 collections, Dhurandhar leads with ₹900 crore. It is followed by Kantara Chapter One with ₹840 crore, Chhava with ₹818 crore, Sayara with ₹580 crore, and Rajinikanth’s Coolie with ₹525 crore. Notably, Dhurandhar was released only in Hindi, while Kantara Chapter One and Coolie were released in five languages each, and Chhava in Hindi and Telugu. Dhurandhar has surpassed the earnings of these pan-India releases with its collections from a single language. The film is expected to cross the ₹1000 crore mark and potentially become the highest-grossing film in Bollywood history.
Avatar 3 Box Office: Four-Day Global Collections
Avatar 3, released in six languages including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, and English in India, performed strongly during its first weekend. However, collections significantly dropped during the weekdays. Dhurandhar film has also started attracting screens from Avatar 3 from its fourth day, leading to a further decline in Avatar 3’s box office numbers.
India Net and Gross for Avatar 3
Avatar 3 collected an India net collection of ₹42 crore 28 lakh in all languages within its first two days. On Sunday, its third day, the film performed better than expected, earning ₹24 crore 63 lakh at the Indian Box Office. On its fourth day, the film’s morning show occupancy was 60% lower compared to the first day, with significant drops in bookings for afternoon, evening, and night shows. As per reports, Avatar 3 is earning ₹8 crore 50 lakh in India on its fourth day. This brings Avatar 3’s cumulative all-India net collection to ₹75 crore 41 lakh within its first four days, with an India gross collection of ₹90 crore 48 lakh.
Avatar 3 Worldwide Box Office Update
According to Hollywood websites, Avatar 3 has earned $380 million in the worldwide market so far, which translates to ₹3400 crore in Indian currency. While the film had good collections during its first weekend, its earnings have considerably dropped with the start of working days.
Box Office Trends and Screen Impact
The film’s collections have shown a downward trend after the first weekend. The competition for screens from Dhurandhar has also impacted Avatar 3’s box office performance.
Thalapathy Vijay’s Jan Aigand: Strong Overseas Advance Booking
Thalapathy Vijay’s Jan Aigand, directed by H. Vinoth and starring Bobby Deol and Pooja Hegde alongside Vijay, is set to release on January 9. With 18 days remaining until its release, the film’s overseas advance bookings have commenced.
Jan Aigand Advance Booking Performance
Jan Aigand has received a better response in overseas advance bookings compared to Vijay’s previous blockbuster, Leo. The film has already recorded overseas bookings of $483,000, which is ₹4 crore 29 lakh in Indian currency. While India bookings are yet to begin, the film has already started breaking records overseas.
First Day Collection Projections
It is confirmed that Jan Aigand’s first-day collection on January 9 will exceed ₹150 crore. With Leo holding the record for Vijay’s highest-grossing film to date, Jan Aigand, being his last film, is highly anticipated to break Leo’s record.
Prabhas’ The Raja Saab: Advance Booking Trends
Pan-India superstar Prabhas’ horror-comedy film The Raja Saab, directed by Maruthi and co-starring Sanjay Dutt, Niddhi Agerwal, and Malavika Mohanan, is also slated for a January 9 release, 18 days from now.
The Raja Saab Overseas Advance Booking
The overseas advance booking for The Raja Saab has recently begun. The response to its advance booking has been decent so far. While Prabhas’ previous films had broken several advance booking records, The Raja Saab’s genre is not as broadly appealing, leading to a less significant response in advance bookings. However, it is expected that as the release date approaches, the film will see a big surge at the box office. Currently, The Raja Saab’s overseas advance booking stands at $61,000, which converts to ₹3 crore 34 lakh in Indian currency. While the advance booking is slow for now, an increase is anticipated closer to the release.
Expected Opening Day Performance
Upon its release, The Raja Saab is expected to have bumper collections in both Hindi and Telugu languages. In other languages, it will face competition from Thalapathy Vijay’s Jan Aigand. Given Prabhas’ superstar status, his films typically secure an opening of over ₹100 crore, and similar expectations are held for The Raja Saab.
