If you thought the box office had seen it all in 2025, think again. The spy-thriller "Dhurandhar" has officially turned into a tsunami, sweeping away records and silencing critics who wrote off Ranveer Singh. As of today, the film has dethroned Chhaava and Kantara: Chapter 1 to become the highest-grossing Indian film of 2025, inching closer to the massive ₹600 crore mark in India alone!
The Box Office Tsunami: 'Dhurandhar' vs 'Avatar 3'
It is a Christmas miracle for Bollywood! With audiences flocking to cinemas, this desi spy saga is giving the Hollywood giant "Avatar: Fire and Ash" a run for its money. While James Cameron's visual spectacle opened to decent numbers, the Indian box office has made its choice clear.
Dhurandhar is dominating the screens, leaving Avatar 3 struggling to keep up in mass centers. The Aditya Dhar directorial has proved that strong content backed by powerhouse performances can stand tall against even the biggest global franchises.
The Real Tea: Akshaye Khanna’s "Aura Maxxx"
But let’s be honest—it’s not just about the numbers. The internet is currently obsessed with Akshaye Khanna.
Playing the menacing villain Rehman Dakait, Akshaye has delivered a performance so chilling that fans are calling him one of Bollywood's greatest baddies ever. His screen presence is being described as "Aura Maxxx," and a specific scene set to the track "FA9LA" has gone viral.
The craze is so real that even Shilpa Shetty couldn't resist! The actress recently took to Instagram to recreate Akshaye’s viral entry step, captioning it, "Fan toh mila nahi lekin mai fan ho gayi hu" (Didn't find a fan, but I became a fan). When the OG thumka queen approves, you know you’ve arrived!
Verdict: The Holiday Winner
With a sequel already announced for March 2026, the Dhurandhar fever isn't ending anytime soon. Ranveer Singh is back with a bang, Akshaye Khanna has stolen the show, and Bollywood has ended 2025 on a historic high.
One thing is clear: The box office belongs to the Dhurandhar team this Christmas!
