Ranveer Singh's 'Dhurandhar' premiered in Japanese theatres on July 10, but despite heavy promotion, the film failed to impress audiences. According to trade reports, it drew only 900 viewers on day one. It did not secure a place in the country's top 25 films for its opening weekend.

On the first day of release, 'Dhurandhar' recorded 449 admissions by 2 pm across 57 locations. However, collections did not improve in the second half of the day; total admissions rose to only 900 across 80 locations.

The film reportedly sold only about 900 tickets on its opening day, missing the benchmark needed to break into Japan's top 10 list of Indian film openers. The 10th spot is currently held by Salman Khan's 'Tiger 3' with 1,300 admissions. Notably, 'Pushpa 2' also previously failed to make the top 10.

'RRR' remains the biggest Indian opener in Japan, securing 8,230 admissions on day one, followed by 'Saaho', 'Kalki 2898 AD', 'Pathaan', 'Salaar', 'Jawan', 'Rangasthalam', 'Devara', 'Baahubali 2' and 'Tiger 3'.

'Dhurandhar' has enjoyed unprecedented success in India. The second film in the franchise, 'Dhurandhar: The Revenge', is the second highest-grossing Indian film of all time, only behind Aamir Khan's 'Dangal'. The film minted ₹1,813 crore in worldwide collections.

The first film of the franchise, 'Dhurandhar', which released in December 2025, was also a massive box office success, earning more than ₹1,307 crore in worldwide collections. Together, both films have collected over ₹3,100 crore at the worldwide box office.
