In a groundbreaking achievement, Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar has become the highest-grossing film in Hindi globally, surpassing the marks set by Pushpa 2: The Rise's Hindi dub and Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan. After a record-breaking fourth week, the film has earned ₹739 crore net ( ₹886.8 crore gross) in the domestic market, making it the only Bollywood film to have crossed the ₹700 crore mark in India. Dhurandhar's overseas success is equally impressive, with earnings of over $28 million in international territories, including a historic run in the United States with over $17 million. Despite being banned in most Gulf countries, where Bollywood films traditionally perform well, Dhurandhar's popularity endures. The film's worldwide gross now stands at ₹1141 crore after 28 days, making it the seventh-highest-grossing Indian film ever, behind only Dangal, Baahubali 2, Pushpa 2, RRR, KGF Chapter 2, and Jawan. What's more, Dhurandhar is the only film in the top 10 that did not have a release in any other language, with the original Hindi version being the sole release. Dhurandhar's success is a testament to its widespread appeal and the talent of its cast, including Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, and R Madhavan. The film's director, Aditya Dhar, has crafted a compelling spy thriller that has captured the hearts of audiences worldwide. While Dangal remains the highest-grossing Indian film overall with a worldwide gross of over ₹2000 crore, Dhurandhar's achievement is all the more impressive considering it did not benefit from dubbed versions or international releases. The film's success has set a new benchmark for Hindi cinema, and its impact will be felt for a long time to come. The film's sequel, Dhurandhar Part 2, is set to release in March 2026, and fans are eagerly awaiting the next installment of this thrilling franchise.
