After breaking records at the domestic box office, Aditya Dhar's spy drama Dhurandhar: The Revenge is now making a mark globally as well. The film's unprecedented run in India and North America has put it in the top 10 highest-grossing films of the year worldwide, ahead of some major names.
Dhurandhar 2 has amassed over ₹1000 crore net (₹1246 crore gross) in India, a record collection for a Hindi film in the domestic market. Overseas, Dhurandhar 2 has been just as big a smash hit despite not releasing in the Gulf countries, minting $26 million in North America and over $15 million in other territories.
As of Thursday, its worldwide gross stands at $178 million, according to trade sources. Box Office Mojo puts the figure at $151 million while the producers say it is over $180 million. Regardless, any of the figures would be enough to make it the 10th-highest-grossing film in the world this year, putting the Ranveer Singh-starrer on a list that includes Project Hail Mary, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, and Wuthering Heights, among others.
Over the last week, Dhurandhar 2 surpassed the box-office collection of the Chinese animated film Boonie Bears: The Hidden Protector ($139 million) to enter this elite list. Dhurandhar 2 beat films starring Chris Hemsworth, Zendaya, and others, including Crime 101 ($72 million), Send Help ($94 million), and Hamlet ($78 million).
Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar 2 is the sequel to the 2025 blockbuster Dhurandhar, which was also a box-office success. The first part earned just under $150 million worldwide. Apart from Ranveer Singh, the two films also star Akshaye Khanna, Arjun Rampal, R Madhavan, Sanjay Dutt, Rakesh Bedi, and Sara Arjun.
