Dhurandhar Box Office Collection Day 7: Was Ranveer Singh-Akshaye Khanna’s Spy Thriller Able to Beat Animal, Starring Bobby Deol and Ranbir Kapoor?
Dhurandhar Box Office Collection Day 7: Dhurandhar, the most recent film starring Ranveer Singh and Akshaye Khanna, is doing remarkably well at the Indian box office. Naturally, Dhurandhar, which was released on December 5, 2025, has been likened to Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal, which debuted in theaters the same week in 2023. Long runtimes, violent and even graphic action scenes, and a powerful, testosterone-driven narrative style are some of the commonalities between the two films, despite their varied genres and target groups. Given that Ranveer and Ranbir are often seen as professional competitors, the parallel is all the more inevitable given that Dhurandhar was also billed early on as “Ranveer Singh’s Animal.”
The espionage action thriller made Rs 103 crore on its first weekend, according to Sacnilk, and its result has been even more amazing given how well it has held up over the week. Actually, the movie’s daily receipts from Tuesday through Thursday have been consistent at around Rs 27 crore each. By the end of Thursday, Dhurandhar had amassed a substantial sum of Rs 207.25 crore thanks to this steady progress. Based on its current trajectory, industry analysts predict that the movie would easily surpass Rs300 crore in its second weekend, which ends on December 14.
Performance at the Box Office: Animal vs. Dhurandhar
Aditya Dhar’s film Dhurandhar debuted with Rs 24.50 crore on its first day, less than half of Animal’s enormous Rs 51.50 crore. Dhurandhar, however, had a more pronounced daily increase. It outperformed Animal, which achieved an 8% climb and earned Rs 56 crore, on Day 2, recording a 15% increase and collecting Rs 28.50 crore. Dhurandhar made an even bigger jump on day three, rising an astounding 38% to Rs 37 crore. In contrast, Animal collected Rs 61 crore on its third day, up by almost 9%. Animal made Rs 24.23 crore on the seventh day, while Dhurandhar made Rs 27 crore. Dhurandhar earned Rs 207.25 crore net in India at the conclusion of the first week, whereas Animal made a far higher Rs 337.58 crore. Even though Dhurandhar had a great weekend, Animal had a considerably bigger opening and eventually made over Rs 500 crore in India. How close Dhurandhar gets to reaching such a milestone in the next weeks is still up in the air.
Plot, Cast, and Reaction of the Audience in Dhurandhar
Ranveer Singh plays the lead in the action-packed spy thriller Dhurandhar. Sara Arjun, Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, and Akshaye Khanna are among the film’s impressive ensemble cast members. The audience’s response has been overwhelmingly enthusiastic, despite the critics’ differing views. The compelling plot, skillful action scenes, and captivating acting have won accolades from viewers. While Akshaye Khanna’s composed but commanding presence has emerged as one of the most notable aspects, Ranveer Singh’s passionate part has received widespread praise. Strong word-of-mouth and good weekday stability have been attributed to the film’s consistent intensity and fast pacing, which many viewers have also praised.
