‘Dhurandhar’ could become highest-grossing Hindi film, says Taran Adarsh

Ranveer Singh’s cinematic spectacle ‘Dhurandhar’ is charting an unprecedented course toward box office history, with industry experts predicting it could surpass all previous records for Hindi-language films. Under Aditya Dhar’s directorial vision, the December 2025 release has already accumulated approximately Dh313.4 million (₹766.90 crore) in domestic markets alone, demonstrating extraordinary staying power well into its fourth week of exhibition.

Renowned trade analyst Taran Adarsh has ignited industry excitement with his authoritative assessment that the film enters 2026 with clear potential to claim the title of highest-grossing Hindi production ever. His social media analysis highlighted the film’s remarkable consistency, noting that ‘Dhurandhar’ maintained double-digit earnings through its fourth Wednesday—a benchmark previously unachieved by any Hindi cinematic release.

The film’s strategic two-part release structure contributes significantly to its commercial momentum. While the first installment debuted on December 5, 2025, the scheduled March 19, 2026 release of the concluding segment maintains audience anticipation at fever pitch. This narrative architecture, combined with powerhouse performances from an ensemble cast including Akshaye Khanna, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Rakesh Bedi, and Sanjay Dutt, has created a cultural phenomenon that transcends traditional box office patterns.

Industry observers note that the film’s sustained commercial performance defies conventional wisdom regarding theatrical longevity. Rather than experiencing typical weekly declines, ‘Dhurandhar’ has demonstrated remarkable resilience, suggesting its appeal extends beyond initial fan enthusiasm to broader audience demographics. This performance pattern positions the production not merely as a commercial success but as a potential paradigm shift in Hindi cinema economics.
