Even after a month in cinemas, the film shows no signs of slowing down.

The film has continued to dominate screens despite new releases like Ikkis and Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri.
In another major feat, Dhurandhar has overtaken Pushpa 2: The Rule to become the highest-grossing Hindi film ever. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh confirmed that the film surpassed the lifetime Hindi business of the Allu Arjun-starrer in its fifth week. Describing it as a historic milestone for Hindi cinema, Taran Adarsh wrote on X,
“This is THE biggest moment in the HISTORY of #Hindi film business.
