The recently released blockbuster Dhurandhar has been declared tax-free in Ladakh. On Friday, the Lieutenant Governor of Ladakh, Kavinder Gupta, took to his X account to share this exciting update regarding the film’s revenue.
Lt Governor Shri @KavinderGupta declared Bollywood film Dhurandhar tax-free in UT #Ladakh. Shot extensively in the region, the film highlights Ladakh’s stunning landscapes, signalling strong support for filmmakers and reinforcing the UT’s initiative to become a preferred destination for film shoots and tourism. The Administration is also developing a New Film Policy and will offer comprehensive support to film productions in Ladakh.
Meanwhile, Dhurandhar has become a sensation at the box office. The film narrates the story of an Indian spy who infiltrates criminal and organized crime networks in Pakistan. It delivers a fictionalized account of how the collusion between the Pakistan underworld and the ISI leads to terrorist attacks in India. This film promises to invigorate the Hindi film industry’s economy, especially following a series of superhits and blockbusters this year, marking a new era in the Indian spy-thriller genre.
Since its release on December 5, 2025, the film has shown remarkable consistency and impressive earnings. Domestically, the spy-thriller crossed the INR 600 crore mark in India within its third week and maintained strong performance during the Christmas and New Year period.
On the international stage, Dhurandhar entered the INR 1,000 crore club within just three weeks, becoming one of the few Indian films to achieve this milestone. Its ongoing success, which includes a haul of INR 100 crore in the fourth week and double-digit daily collections for nearly a month, has positioned it among the top-grossing Hindi films.
Dhurandhar has emerged as a major commercial phenomenon, blending strong word-of-mouth with enduring box-office momentum across domestic and international markets.
