Historic comeback of ‘Dhurandhar’ Ranveer Singh: records yet another milestone, biggest third weekend ever in the history with 99.70 cr, surpassing Animal

Indian cinema is witnessing a rare and defining moment as Ranveer Singh scripts a historic comeback with Dhurandhar, delivering the biggest third weekend ever recorded in the history of Hindi cinema. This is not just a box-office victory — it is a clear statement of resurgence, authority, and stardom. Ranveer Singh has claimed back his deserving spot at the very top, firmly taking back the reins and reminding the industry why he remains one of its most formidable forces.

What makes this achievement even more remarkable is the scale of competition Dhurandhar has surpassed. The film has left behind recent juggernauts like Animal and Chhaava, both of which had set towering benchmarks for box-office endurance. By overtaking them, Ranveer Singh has redefined what sustained momentum truly means in today’s cinematic landscape.

The numbers tell an unprecedented story. Ranveer’s Dhurandhar has become the First film in the history of Hindi cinema to nearly hit a century in its third weekend, overtaking Chhaava, which previously held the record for the biggest Weekend 3 score. In an extraordinary turn of events, even the mighty Avatar: Fire and Ash, which opened on Friday, has been completely overshadowed by the unstoppable Ranveer Singh starrer. Dhurandhar’s India nett total now stands at ₹579.20 crore (week 3) officially cementing its place in box-office history.

Beyond the numbers, the cultural impact is equally powerful. Trade circles and audiences alike are calling this phase “the new Coolie moment” — drawing parallels to the era-defining mass resurgence of Shah Rukh Khan. Much like SRK’s iconic comeback phase, Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar represents a moment where star power, performance, and audience connection align perfectly. It is mass cinema driven by conviction, scale, and sheer screen command.

Looking ahead, Dhurandhar positions Ranveer Singh as the defining face of 2025, ready to take on cinema’s biggest benchmarks. Comparisons with landmark films like Baahubali and Lagaan feel not aspirational, but earned. Just as those films created historic moments that transcended box office figures, Dhurandhar stands as a cinematic event — one that reshapes expectations and rewrites records.

This is more than a successful run. It is a historic comeback that will be remembered as the moment Ranveer Singh didn’t just return — he reclaimed his throne and delivered a chapter that now belongs to cinema history.
