Christmas Day has long been one of the most competitive and revealing dates on the Hindi cinema calendar. It is a day when family footfalls peak, holiday sentiment drives turnout, and only films with true mass appeal manage to convert the occasion into blockbuster numbers. On December 25, Dhurandhar did exactly that, registering a formidable Rs. 28.60 crore and securing its place among the biggest Christmas Day grossers of all time.
With this figure, Dhurandhar now ranks third on the all-time list, trailing only Dangal (Rs. 42.41 crore) and Tiger Zinda Hai (Rs. 36.54 crore). In doing so, it has edged past several landmark releases that traditionally define festive box office performance. Films such as PK (Rs. 27.55 crore) and Dhoom 3 (Rs. 25.52 crore) both celebrated for their holiday-driven runs now sit just below Dhurandhar on the chart.
The scale of this achievement becomes even clearer when viewed against more recent Christmas releases. Dunki collected Rs. 22.25 crore on the same date, while 83 stood at Rs. 16.95 crore. Pan-India juggernauts like Pushpa 2: The Rule (Rs. 15.50 crore) and Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire (Rs. 15 crore) also trail significantly behind, underscoring how decisively Dhurandhar has capitalised on the festive window.
What makes Dhurandhar’s Christmas Day performance particularly notable is the phase of its run in which it has arrived. Rather than benefiting from first-day novelty, the film has delivered this Rs. 28.60 crore haul deep into its theatrical journey, driven by sustained word-of-mouth, repeat audiences and an enduring perception of the film as a big-screen event. That ability to scale up on a holiday well into its run is a hallmark of truly exceptional box office performers.
From a trade standpoint, December 25 numbers are often used as a benchmark to measure a film’s mass penetration across age groups and regions. By posting one of the highest Christmas Day collections ever, Dhurandhar has reaffirmed its wide appeal and long-haul strength, standing shoulder to shoulder with some of the most iconic festive blockbusters in Hindi cinema history.
As the film continues its run beyond Christmas, this Rs. 28.60 crore day doesn’t just add to its total it reinforces a larger narrative. Dhurandhar isn’t merely surviving the holiday season; it is commanding it, further cementing its status as one of the most dominant theatrical forces of its time.
