The spy-thriller becomes the highest-grossing Bollywood film in India; Ranveer and Deepika ring in 2026 at Chef Vikas Khanna’s ‘Bungalow’ in New York.
January 1, 2026: After nearly a month of shattering records, Bollywood’s man of the hour, Ranveer Singh, has taken his victory lap to the streets of Manhattan. On Wednesday, December 31, 2025, the actor was spotted celebrating the monumental success of his film Dhurandhar with his wife, global icon Deepika Padukone, and celebrity chef Vikas Khanna.
The film, which released on December 5, has officially grossed ₹1,128.63 crore worldwide as of Day 27, cementing its status as the highest-grossing Bollywood film of all time in India (surpassing the domestic net records of Jawan and Pathaan).
A “Blessed” Celebration at Bungalow
The couple visited Chef Vikas Khanna’s acclaimed restaurant, Bungalow, to ring in the New Year and mark the film’s success.
- The Modak Tradition: In a heartwarming video shared by the chef, Ranveer is seen sharing a tight hug with Vikas before being fed a traditional modak.
- Deepika’s First: The highlight for many fans was seeing Deepika Padukone meticulously crafting her very first modak under Vikas’s guidance.
- The Symbolism: Vikas penned an emotional note, stating: “Team Bungalow had the privilege of celebrating with Ranveer & Deepika her first modak. Celebrating DHURANDHAR — standing taller than any film in the world.”
Dhurandhar Box Office: The “Aandhi” (Storm) of 2025
The Aditya Dhar directorial has redefined box office benchmarks for single-language Hindi films.
| Metric | Collection (as of Jan 1, 2026) |
| Worldwide Gross | ₹1,128.63 Crore |
| India Net (All Lang) | ₹722.75 Crore |
| India Gross | ₹890.79 Crore |
| Overseas Gross | ₹246 Crore |
Record Breaker: Dhurandhar is now the only non-multilingual Indian film to enter the ₹1,000-crore club (excluding China). It is currently chasing Jawan’s lifetime worldwide record of ₹1,160 crore.
Deepika’s Verdict: “Worth Every Minute”
Deepika, who has been Ranveer’s biggest cheerleader throughout the promotional cycle, took to Instagram to share her review of the 3-hour-34-minute epic.
“Dhurandhar has been watched and is worth every minute of those 3.34 hours! So do yourselves a favour and get to a cinema hall NOW! So incredibly proud of you @ranveersingh.”
What’s Next for the Power Couple?
While Ranveer is currently basking in “Dhurandhar-mania,” the future looks equally packed:
- Dhurandhar 2: The sequel is already confirmed for a March 19, 2026 release, potentially clashing with Yash’s Toxic.
- King: Deepika is set to return to the big screen alongside Shah Rukh Khan in Sujoy Ghosh’s action-thriller.
- OTT Arrival: Reports suggest Netflix has secured the digital rights for both parts of Dhurandhar in a landmark deal worth ₹275 crore.
