Mumbai, Dec 16 : Aditya Dhar’s spy thriller ‘Dhurandhar’ is set to make its Telugu language debut on December 19, 2025, as the film continues its strong run across the Hindi belt, according to box office tracker Sacnilk. The dubbed version is in the final stages of technical work and dubbing, with distributors in Andhra Pradesh and the Nizam region pushing for a wide release.
Dubbed Hindi films have increasingly found traction in Telugu speaking regions, particularly when they feature intense action sequences. Trade insiders note that the strategy for ‘Dhurandhar’ is reminiscent of the success seen by films like ‘Animal’, which resonated with Telugu audiences despite its Hindi origins.
The film’s A-rating and focus on raw, high octane action are expected to appeal to South audiences, though success will largely depend on pacing, content, and voice performances. Analysts are also drawing comparisons to previous high-grossing action films such as ‘Pathaan’, ‘Jawan’, and major South Indian blockbusters like ‘RRR’ and ‘KGF: Chapter 2’, adding both pressure and expectations.
Box Office Performance So Far
The Hindi version of ‘Dhurandhar’ has displayed steady growth at the domestic box office, with strong weekends and stable weekdays. Over its first 11 days, the film has collected an estimated ₹379.75 crore net in India, showing consistent audience interest rather than a sharp drop. Early trade estimates suggest the film is on track to cross the ₹1000 crore worldwide mark, with the Telugu release potentially providing an additional boost.
