Entertainment Home News and Gossip Dhurandhar Box Office Collection Day 22: Ranveer Singh-Akshaye Khanna’s film SHINES, crosses Rs… Dhurandhar has surpassed a number of significant films to become the highest-grossing film of the year. Before surpassing Kantara: Chapter 1, which had previously held the record with almost 622 crore net in India, it overtook Stree 2 and Chhaava earlier in its run. Dhurandhar Box Office Collection Day 22: As the biggest box office hit of 2025, Dhurandhar has solidified Ranveer Singh’s place at the top of the business hierarchy this year. The movie became the highest-grossing Indian movie of 2025 when it reached the ₹600 crore barrier at the Indian box office on Day 22 of its theatrical run. It also got closer to the much sought-after ₹1,000 crore milestone globally. Entertainment Dhurandhar Box Office Collection Day 22 By the conclusion of Day 21, Dhurandhar has earned about ₹634.3 crore net in India across all languages, according to industry tracker Sacnilk. The overall trend clearly indicates an unparalleled run driven primarily by continuous word-of-mouth rather than front-loaded hoopla, even though the Day 22 number itself is still changing owing to late-night programs and advance data. According to Sacnilk’s assessment, the movie’s total net collection in India was ₹635.66 crore after adding around ₹2.16 crore on its 22nd day (based on early estimates). The film’s steadiness is also noteworthy: even in its third week, Dhurandhar has continued to generate acceptable weekday box office receipts, something that few high-profile movies are able to do after 20 days. Despite a predicted decline from the second week, the third-week collection is about ₹173 crore. Due to high foot traffic and repeat business in both tier-2 and metro areas, occupancy levels have also remained stable. Entertainment Dhurandhar becomes highest-grosser of 2025 With these figures, Dhurandhar has surpassed a number of significant films to become the highest-grossing film of the year. Before surpassing Kantara: Chapter 1, which had previously held the record with almost ₹622 crore net in India, it overtook Stree 2 and Chhaava earlier in its run. Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan, which concluded its India run with almost ₹640 crore net, is the only significant benchmark that hasn’t been reached. Dhurandhar is expected to surpass that number before the conclusion of its fourth weekend, according to trade analysts. Don’t Miss Out on the Latest Updates. Subscribe to Our Newsletter Today!

Entertainment Snapshots from the trailer of Kishore’s Mellisai Updated on :  26 Dec 2025, 4:06 am Kishore is a doting father to two kids in director G Dhirav’s Mellisai. The first trailer for the film, which was released by the makers on Christmas, shows him looking out for his children — a young school-going girl and a college-going teenager. While he seems content with his life, glimpses of what his life could have been flash in front of him. Kishore is a talented singer who wants to audition and showcase his talent, but his family seems against it. Parallely, their house is also in the risk from being taken over by a loan shark. The makers previously revealed that the film will take place in two parallel timelines centred around the bond between a father and daughter, promising “a deeply emotional and poetic” experience. The film is also expected to revolve around the themes of love, ambition, failure, and success. With Subatra Robert, known for her roles in Pariyerum Perumal, Jai Bhim, and Bommai Nayagi, as the female lead, Mellisai‘s ensemble cast includes George Mariyan, Harish Uthaman, Jaswant Manikandan, Dhananya, Proactive Prabakar, Kannan Bharati, and others. Dhirav made his directorial debut in Veppam Kulir Mazhai (2024), and late last year, his sophomore Dopamine @2.22 was released. On the technical team, Mellisai has Shankar Rangarajan composing the music and Devaraj Pugazhendi handling cinematography. Dhirav, like in his previous films, will also be penning the lyrics in the movie. He is also producing the film under the Hashtag FDFS banner. A release date for Mellisai is yet to be announced.

Entertainment Updated on :  25 Dec 2025, 6:20 pm Sirai, which released in theatres on Thursday for Christmas, has been getting plaudits from fans, critics and members of the film fraternity. Actor Soori, after watching the film, praised the story and performances. Soori called Sirai an “honest film” and said there were several moments in the film where a prayer escaped from him whenever the protagonist is in danger. He went on to applaud the director Suresh Rajakumari for coming up with such a story, and the performances by Vikram Prabhu and debutant Akshay Kumar. Calling it an “arresting drama” about the justice system, an excerpt from the CE review reads, “Points to the makers for also writing in just enough subversions to make Sirai a compelling watch. Just when you think that an undertrial with freedom at his doorstep would do ‘A’, he goes on to do ‘Z’, and when you think a cop is making the same mistakes that almost cost him his job once, his response makes you smile because the world doesn’t exist in binaries.” Sirai has a story by Taanakkaran fame Tamizh, which is based on the former police officer’s real life, with the addition of fictional elements. The film marks the acting debut of Akshay Kumar, who is the son of its producer Lalit Kumar of the banner SS Screen Studios, known for backing the Vijay starrers Master and Leo.
