Dhurandhar has officially stamped its authority on the global box office, emerging as the highest worldwide grosser of 2025 with a staggering Rs. 853.07 crore haul. The Ranveer Singh-led spectacle has not only outperformed every release this year but has also widened the gap so decisively that the race for the top spot is effectively over. The film has surged ahead of Chhaava, which stood as the early front-runner with Rs. 797.34 crore worldwide. By crossing the Rs. 850 crore mark, Dhurandhar has bettered Chhaava by nearly Rs. 56 crore, underlining the scale of its dominance across domestic and overseas markets. What makes this achievement particularly noteworthy is the consistency with which the film has performed week after week, refusing to slow down even as newer titles entered theatres.
The gulf between Dhurandhar and the rest of the 2025 releases is even more telling further down the list. Saiyaara, which enjoyed a healthy global run, has amassed Rs. 579.23 crore, leaving it over Rs. 270 crore behind Dhurandhar. Meanwhile, big-ticket titles like War 2 and Sitaare Zameen Par have wrapped up their worldwide runs at Rs. 303.22 crore and Rs. 266.49 crore respectively, figures that Dhurandhar more than doubles with ease.
Trade analysts point out that Dhurandhar’s extraordinary overseas traction, coupled with its historic performance in India, has been the key driver behind its record-breaking worldwide total. The film’s appeal has cut across demographics and territories, translating into packed houses well beyond the traditional opening-weekend frenzy.
With Rs. 853.07 crore worldwide, Dhurandhar has not just delivered the biggest global hit of 2025—it has redefined the commercial benchmark for the year. As its run continues, the film stands tall as the undisputed box office champion of 2025, setting a formidable standard for every release that follows.

Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan has marked a significant milestone, collecting his first professional accolade. At the NDTV Indian of the Year 2025 awards, Aryan was honoured in the Debutant Director category for his Netflix series The Ba***ds Of Bollywood, a high-energy project blending action and drama that has positioned him as a promising storyteller in his own right.
During his acceptance speech, Aryan humorously revealed his personal penchant for trophies, drawing parallels to his father Shah Rukh Khan’s legendary collection. He quipped that he loves trophies just like his dad, but emphasized that “this is not for him,” dedicating the win to his team and underscoring the collaborative spirit behind the project.
He asserted, “Yeh mera phela award hai, and I hope mujhe aur bhi bahut sare awards milenge kyunki mere dad ki tarahn mujhe bhi aawards bahut pasand hain. But this award is not for him. This award is for my mom, kyunki meri mom mujhse hamesha kehti hain jaldi sona, logun ka mazak nahi udana aur gaali galoch bilkul nahi… aur aaj inhi sab cheezun ke liye mujhe yeh award mila hai.. Thank you for making my mom the happiest woman in the world and I know aaj ghar jaake mujhe thodhi kum dant padegi.”
Aryan’s grandmother, Savita Chhibber, expressed overwhelming pride, stating “I’m so proud” of her grandson’s achievement at the event.
ZICO has released a new single titled ‘DUET’, collaborating with Japanese musician Lilas, also known as ikura from YOASOBI. The track brings together artists from the Korean hip-hop and Japanese band scenes, reflecting ZICO’s continued interest in cross-border collaborations. Known for working across genres and musical styles, ZICO’s latest release marks another step in exploring new creative directions alongside Lilas.
The single began with a simple question, “What would it be like to record a duet with an ideal partner?” On the surface, ZICO and Lilas have contrasting vocal tones and distinctly different artistic styles, yet ‘DUET’ brings those differences together in seamless harmony. The track blends ZICO’s dynamic rap delivery with Lilas’s expressive vocals, creating a sound that feels fresh, cohesive, and immediately engaging. The production team behind last year’s widely loved ‘SPOT! (feat. JENNIE)’ also joined the project, adding depth and dimension to the single’s vibrant sound.
The lyrics emphasise the synergy between the two artists, with each writing their own verses and bringing their distinct musical sensibilities to the track. The blend of Japanese and Korean lyrics flows seamlessly, resulting in a bilingual sound that feels natural and cohesive.
The music video for ‘DUET’ reflects the song’s light and upbeat mood. Set in familiar, everyday locations, ZICO and Lilas begin dancing as if guided by an unseen connection, with the movement gradually spreading to people around them. The choreography unfolds across classrooms, offices and city streets, as adults echo the carefree gestures of children, turning ordinary settings into expressive moments. Shot in Japan, the video also mirrors the increasingly global nature of ZICO’s collaborations.
ZICO’s new single “DUET” is now available on all streaming platforms worldwide.
Basking in the success of Tere Ishk Mein, Kriti Sanon continues to witness a steady rise in her stature as an actor, marked by fearless choices, constant reinvention, and a deep hunger to explore uncharted emotional and creative spaces. With every new project, she has pushed her own boundaries, choosing characters that challenge expectations while allowing her to grow with each performance.
“When Bareilly Ki Barfi happened, I realised I could do something completely non glamorous, without the crutches of looking good or fitting into a certain image. I loved picking up a dialect. I loved the rawness and realness of Bitti Mishra. Stepping outside your comfort zone and doing what people don’t expect from you really excited me,” she said in a conversation with Zoom.
The actress added, “Mimi came from a place of extreme hunger, knowing deep inside that I could do so much more, even though the opportunities weren’t in front of me yet. When that film came along, it gave me immense confidence. It made me feel like I could fly and take on much more. It also made me crave substantial, meaty roles where I could truly add value.”
Reflecting on her recent body of work, Kriti shared, “Teri Baaton Mein (Aisa Uljha Jiya) was a completely different challenge because there was no reference point at all. Playing Sifra was tricky because the character could easily look gimmicky, and if she didn’t work, the film wouldn’t work. Finding challenge in simplicity, even without dramatic emotions, became the real test. Crew made me realise that films about women don’t always have to be serious. They can be fun. You can have three women from different generations coming together without catfights, actually doing something meaningful together. Do Patti brought a different kind of challenge with a double role, carrying emotional baggage. Two girls born and brought up together, related by blood, go through the same traumatic experience but process it very differently. I wanted a challenge and wasn’t finding one, so I created it. I chose a subject I deeply felt for and wanted to tell a story I truly believed in.”
Speaking about another defining moment in her journey, she added, “Mukti (from Tere Ishk Mein) was another turning point. I’m a very prepared actor, a frontbencher who does her homework and loses sleep if she isn’t fully ready. For the first time, I broke that pattern. I didn’t prepare in the usual way and instead took a leap of faith, surrendering to the world of the film, the director, and being fully present in the moment.”
With a filmography that reflects both courage and conviction, Kriti Sanon continues to evolve as a performer who prioritises substance over comfort. Up next, she will be seen in Cocktail 2, adding yet another exciting chapter to her ever expanding cinematic journey.
Bluffmaster (2005), the cool con-comedy, completed 20 years on December 16. The film was loved for its fresh treatment, casting, comic moments, shocking suspense, and, of course, the music, which continues to be popular even today. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, director Rohan Sippy spoke about the film and shared some fascinating trivia.
Your first film, Kuch Naa Kaho (2003), was a romantic drama, while Bluffmaster was in a completely different space. What made you switch gears and direct a film of this sort?
A lot of credit goes to writer Shridhar Raghavan. We met in 2003 and had several conversations. We got along very well and discussed many kinds of films that would be fun to make. The idea for Bluffmaster came out of his sensibility and stuff that he was excited by.
The opening disclaimers mention Rajkumar Santoshi under ‘Special Thanks’. What is the reason behind it?
Raj ji was an amazing help. There’s a scene where Boman Irani asks Abhishek Bachchan how many days he actually lived in his life. We started shooting for the film sooner than anticipated and moreover, our complete screenplay draft was in English. While writing the dialogue draft, this was a scene where we kept getting stuck. It’s one of the trickiest to write, especially bringing out the emotion behind it. Unfortunately, at that time, I used to think in English and hence, we kept grappling with it.
I remember we were all set to shoot the scene the next day. We tried multiple drafts, but Shridhar was not happy with the sound of it. He was also working with Mr Santoshi at that time. Mr Santoshi happened to call and asked him, ‘Shridhar, how’s it going?’. Shridhar is always candid and he replied, ‘Not so good. We are getting stuck’! He asked me and Shridhar to come over to his place. It was 8 or 9 pm when we went to meet him. He was having dinner with his associates. We selfishly took him away and literally started discussing the scene (laughs).
That is when I saw up close what an amazing writer he is. He kept trying to work through it with Shridhar. After many hours, we were able to crack the scene. By then, it was quite late at night. I only had time to go home and shower and get to the set at 6:00 am at the Gateway of India.
Boman was apprised of the dialogue on the set. It’s unfair to give an actor such an important scene on the day of the shoot. Nevertheless, adding that extra magic in the scene was worth it. It is one of my favourite scenes.
Even Tigmanshu Dhulia has been thanked…
He had also worked on the earlier draft as a dialogue writer. That was specifically the reason why we thanked him.
That’s not all. Sanjay Dutt and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan are also mentioned under ‘Special Thanks’. As per IMDb, the original cast of the film was Sanjay Dutt, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan. Is that true?
No. These were different timelines and conversations. I had spoken to both of them, albeit for different reasons. It didn’t work but they were kind enough to give us the time. That’s why we thanked them.
Often, filmmakers say that shooting in Mumbai is not easy. Meanwhile, several scenes of Bluffmaster are shot outdoors in the city. Was it a challenge and did you ever consider setting the film in some other city?
Both Shridhar and I wanted it to be set in Mumbai. A lot of lovely old films had used Mumbai nicely. We were also into that decade of NRI obsession, which began with films like Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995). Switzerland and the USA had become the new ‘it’ places for filmmakers then.
Also, the simple reality was that we didn’t even have the budget to do it (set the film in a foreign place)! Moreover, you can set a love story in different parts of the world, but when you have a con film, involving so many different elements of society, India seems apt. We didn’t even look into any other country, as it would have ended up looking weird. By default, it had to be an Indian city.
Meanwhile, Mumbai was my home from birth and Shridhar’s home since the time he started working. We were also enjoying adding a little bit of Mumbai flavour in the dialogues.
As for shooting here, you don’t realize it’s going to be a big challenge until you do it! Also, we were starting right in the beginning of the monsoon. That added more to the challenge but also added more to the beauty of the final product.
The right kind of cinematographer also helps. Himman Dhamija came on board; he’s from Delhi but has lived in Australia. Someone like him brought in an outsider’s eye in addition to being desi. The idea was not to try to make the city look glossy or westernized. But the richness of the city’s texture is fantastic. You just see it for what it is (smiles).
Dhurandhar has firmly established itself as a global box office force, with the Ranveer Singh starrer amassing a staggering Rs. 545.6 crore at the worldwide box office. The film’s commanding performance across domestic and international markets underlines its broad-based appeal and cements its status as one of the biggest theatrical successes in recent times.
At home, Dhurandhar has delivered exceptional numbers, recording an India nett collection of Rs. 364.60 crore. When translated into gross figures, the domestic total stands at Rs. 434.05 crore, reflecting sustained footfalls and strong occupancy levels well beyond the opening weeks. The film’s ability to consistently pull audiences into theatres across metros, Tier-2 cities, and mass circuits has been a key driver behind its formidable India gross.
Overseas, Dhurandhar has proven to be equally resilient, collecting Rs. 111.55 crore in gross revenue. The international performance highlights the film’s resonance with the diaspora and global audiences, particularly in key markets where big-ticket Hindi releases traditionally thrive. This solid overseas showing has played a crucial role in pushing the film past the half-a-thousand-crore milestone worldwide.
With a combined worldwide total of Rs. 545.6 crore, Dhurandhar now joins the elite club of Indian films to cross the Rs. 500 crore mark globally. Trade analysts point out that the film’s success is not merely driven by an explosive opening, but by its remarkable consistency and strong word of mouth across territories. As Dhurandhar continues its theatrical run, its worldwide box office trajectory positions it as a landmark title in Ranveer Singh’s career and a defining blockbuster of the year.
Dhurandhar Box Office at a glance: India Nett: Rs. 364.60 cr India Gross: Rs. 434.05 cr Overseas Gross: Rs. 111.55 cr Worldwide Total: Rs. 545.6 cr
Dhurandhar has scripted a significant box office milestone as the Ranveer Singh starrer enters the coveted Rs. 300 crore club in just nine days, placing the film among the fastest grossers in Hindi cinema history. With this feat, Ranveer Singh secures the seventh spot on the all-time list of quickest films to cross the Rs. 300 crore mark, reaffirming his standing as one of the industry’s most bankable theatrical stars.
The film’s nine-day sprint to Rs. 300 crores puts it in formidable company. At the very top of the chart remain juggernauts like Pushpa 2: The Rule and Jawan, both of which stormed past the Rs. 300 crore milestone in just five days, followed closely by Animal and Pathaan, each achieving the landmark in six days. Films such as Stree 2 and Gadar 2 reached the figure in eight days, while Dhurandhar now slots in ahead of Chhaava, which took ten days to achieve the same milestone.
What makes Dhurandhar’s performance particularly noteworthy is the nature of its run. Rather than peaking and tapering off quickly, the film has shown remarkable momentum beyond its opening weekend, driven by strong word of mouth and repeat audiences. This sustained growth has enabled it to reach Rs. 300 crores at a steady yet powerful pace, without relying solely on front-loaded numbers.
For Ranveer Singh, the achievement further strengthens his box office track record, placing him alongside the biggest contemporary stars whose films have rewritten speed records in recent years. As Dhurandhar continues its theatrical journey, trade analysts expect the film to climb higher in lifetime collections, with its rapid entry into the Rs. 300 crore club marking it as one of the defining commercial successes of its time.
Four years after her Miss Universe win, Harnaaz Sandhu’s global influence continues to grow. This December, she has been officially invited to Vietnam as a distinguished international guest by the Miss Cosmo Organisation, one of the country’s biggest and most influential pageant platforms.
Recognised as the first Gen Z Miss Universe, Harnaaz will be honoured for her cultural impact, leadership, and role in empowering young women worldwide. Her visit includes a formal honorary recognition ceremony, high-profile cultural and ceremonial engagements, and a gala evening celebrating her journey and global influence
Pageantry holds immense cultural importance across Vietnam and the larger Southeast Asian region, where Harnaaz remains a widely admired figure. Her authenticity, confidence, and modern outlook have earned her a devoted following, making her presence at the Miss Cosmo celebrations a moment of significance for the region’s pageant and cultural community.
From bringing the Miss Universe crown back to India after 21 years to being honoured internationally as a cultural ambassador, Harnaaz Sandhu’s journey reflects a new kind of global reign — one that transcends titles and continues to resonate across borders.
Earlier this year, Harnaaz made her much talked-about Bollywood debut as a leading lady in director A Harsha’s action thriller Baaghi 4. The film starred Tiger Shroff alongside Sanjay Dutt and Sonam Bajwa.
The team of Ikkis recently visited the National War Memorial in New Delhi to pay tribute to India’s fallen heroes, marking a deeply emotional and reflective moment ahead of the film’s release. Actors Agastya Nanda, Simar Bhatia and Jaideep Ahlawat were seen standing in silence, heads bowed, as they honoured the martyrs whose courage and sacrifice continue to define the spirit of the nation. The visit underscored the profound responsibility the team feels while bringing such a powerful real-life story to the big screen.
The moment carried added significance as Ikkis is based on the life of Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal, one of the youngest recipients of India’s highest wartime gallantry award, the Param Vir Chakra. At just 21, Khetarpal displayed extraordinary bravery during the 1971 Indo-Pak war, ultimately laying down his life in service of the country. Standing at the memorial, the cast and team reflected not only on his exceptional valour, but also on the countless unnamed soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice so future generations could live in freedom.
Those present described the visit as humbling and grounding, reminding them of the weight of the story they are about to share with audiences. The National War Memorial, with its eternal flame and engraved names of fallen soldiers, served as a stark reminder that the freedoms enjoyed today are built on the sacrifices of yesterday. For the team of Ikkis, the experience reinforced their commitment to portraying the story with honesty, sensitivity and respect.
Directed by Sriram Raghavan and produced by Dinesh Vijan under the banner of Maddock Films, Ikkis aims to celebrate courage, duty and selflessness without glorification, focusing instead on the human cost of war and heroism. The film seeks to honour Arun Khetarpal’s legacy while also paying homage to every soldier who chose service above self.
Scheduled for a Christmas release, Ikkis is positioned as not just a cinematic experience, but a tribute a reminder of the true meaning of patriotism, sacrifice and valour that continues to inspire the nation.

As we close this chapter, I feel immense gratitude to the fans that stood by us, season after season with unbound love, affection and loyalty.”
“Being a part of Four More Shots Please! has been one of the most meaningful experiences of my career,” expresses Kirti Kulhari. “Anjana’s journey – her strength, her flaws, her evolution – resonated with so many women across the world, and that love has carried us through four beautiful seasons. As we wrap this final chapter, my heart is full. This show became bigger than just a story. It became a voice. And that’s only because the fans held us, celebrated us, and kept us going from day one.”
“Four More Shots Please! didn’t just give me a character. It gave me a tribe,” says Maanvi Gagroo. “From the very first season, Siddhi found a place in people’s hearts, and that connection is something I continue to cherish deeply. Every woman who saw a bit of her younger self in Siddhi made this journey worth it. This season is a celebration of the fans who have grown with us, supported us, and continue to love us unconditionally.”
“Umang has lived loudly. Loved loudly. Broken loudly. And rebuilt herself loudly,” notes Bani J. “Fans embraced all her shades right from the beginning, and that love only grew stronger with every season. This finale is our way of giving back to everyone who rooted for this girl gang, who partied with them, cried with them, and celebrated with them.”
