Dhurandhar Becomes Longest-Trending Indian Film on BookMyShow, Surpasses Chhaava


Written by Intern Rency Gomes || Team Allycaral 

Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar, starring Ranveer Singh, has achieved another milestone in its record-breaking theatrical run. The spy thriller has now become the longest-trending Indian film on BookMyShow, maintaining its position on the platform for 59 consecutive days.


According to industry tracker Sacnilk, the film surpassed the previous record of 58 days set earlier in 2025 by Chhaava, starring Vicky Kaushal. Horror-comedy sequel Stree 2 currently stands third with 57 days of trending.

Over the years, longevity on BookMyShow has emerged as a key metric for box office endurance, with estimates suggesting that nearly half of a film’s ticket sales are generated through the platform. Dhurandhar’s sustained popularity has been attributed largely to strong word of mouth, enabling it to dominate the box office for weeks after release.

Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar also features Akshaye Khanna, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, and Sanjay Dutt in pivotal roles. The film has grossed ₹1300 crore worldwide, including over ₹800 crore in India — the highest domestic total for a Hindi film to date.

The film recorded the biggest second week for any Indian release, collecting ₹253 crore, followed by strong third, fourth, and fifth-week performances. Even after its OTT release eight weeks into its theatrical run, Dhurandhar reportedly continued earning ₹25–30 lakh per day domestically and remains in cinemas ten weeks after release.

A sequel, titled Dhurandhar: The Revenge, is slated to release on March 19, with the principal cast set to reprise their roles.

With its extended theatrical dominance and sustained audience engagement, Dhurandhar has cemented its position as one of the most successful Indian films in recent years.
