The Dhurandhar franchise, created by Aditya Dhar, has achieved a remarkable feat by crossing ₹3000 crore at the box office. The two films, released just three months apart, have changed the rules of Bollywood box-office collections. Dhurandhar: The Revenge has crossed ₹1700 crore worldwide, making the two films collectively breach the ₹3000 crore mark. This achievement makes it only the second film franchise in Indian cinema history to reach this milestone.
The first Dhurandhar film, starring Ranveer Singh, was a critical and commercial success, collecting ₹841 crore net in India and ₹1300 crore gross worldwide. The sequel, Dhurandhar: The Revenge, shattered every Bollywood box-office record, becoming the first from Hindi cinema to net ₹100 crore in a single day. It has earned ₹1025 crore net in India and ₹1720 crore worldwide, with the makers claiming the worldwide gross exceeds ₹1760 crore.
The Dhurandhar franchise has surpassed Baahubali and Pushpa, becoming the highest-grossing Indian film series. It has also beaten the YRF Spy Universe, which was built retroactively and has a worldwide gross of just over ₹3100 crore, spread across six films. The success of Dhurandhar has made it a formidable franchise, and it is expected to take the top spot by next week.
