But according to a recent report, the actor has also discussed a mythological film with Aditya Dhar, which is likely to be their next collaboration after Dhurandhar 2. However, there are not many details available yet regarding this biggie, but it is certain to happen soon. Stay tuned...

Dhurandhar vs Chhaava: First Week Worldwide Box Office Comparison of Ranveer Singh and Vicky Kaushal-starrers

Mumbai, December 12 - Bollywood star Ranveer Singh's spy action thriller Dhurandhar has had a dream debut at the box office as the film concluded its first week with excellent collections. The film delivered a record opening for a Ranveer Singh-starrer and put the actor in the elite list of actors with mammoth first-week collection. Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhuradhar's first week collection is almost identical to Vicky Kaushal's Chhaava, which was released in February this year. Despite being different in genres, both films stormed the box office, despite some of the so-called critics lashing out at them for their premises. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) India Box Office: Chhaava Holds the Upper Hand At the domestic box office, the historical action drama Chhaava had a stronger first-week gross with 262.50 crore, surpassing Dhurandhar's 248 crore in its debut week.

Dhurandhar, meanwhile, delivered an explosive December start, performing exceptionally well in North India and urban centres. Its high-octane spy-action backdrop, sleek visuals, and powerful performances pulled in strong footfalls across multiplex chains, generating approximately 90 lakh footfalls.

Its action-heavy narrative and huge scale helped it secure superior traction in markets such as North America, the UK, and Australia. Chhaava and Dhurandhar may not have competed directly at the box office, but their first-week numbers place them among the most successful Indian releases of 2025. While Chhaava ruled the domestic market, Dhurandhar took a commanding lead overseas, making both films major box office success stories in their own right.
