Box Office: ‘Dhurandhar’ Becomes First Indian Franchise to Cross ₹3,100 Crore Mark Worldwide

The Dhurandhar franchise has officially cemented its status as a historic landmark in Indian cinema by shattering all previous box office records. It has become the first and only Indian movie franchise to surpass the monumental ₹3,100 crore milestone at the global box office, setting a massive new benchmark for the entire industry.

This incredible journey toward global dominance began with the first installment, which was originally released with moderate expectations. However, it quickly transformed into a global phenomenon fueled by extraordinary word-of-mouth, eventually grossing a staggering ₹1,354.84 crore worldwide and surprising analysts everywhere.

Building on this massive goodwill, the sequel, Dhurandhar 2, launched as a major Bollywood “event” film with immense hype. The film has shown incredible staying power, and as it reaches its 52nd day in theaters, the magnum opus continues to draw huge crowds, earning ₹1,831.38 crore globally so far.

When merging the earnings of both installments, the franchise reaches a mind-blowing total of ₹3,186.22 crore. This achievement places it far ahead of other iconic cinematic series, such as Baahubali, which previously held a top spot with a lifetime gross of ₹2,450 crore.

Directed by Aditya Dhar and produced by Jio Studios alongside B62 Studios, the franchise was brought to life on an estimated total budget of ₹450 crore. The films feature a high-profile ensemble cast, including powerhouse performers like Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, and R. Madhavan.

The supporting cast, featuring Rakesh Bedi, Sara Arjun, Gaurav Gera, and Danish Pandor, adds further depth to the story. Through a perfect combination of visionary filmmaking, high-octane action, and immense commercial appeal, Dhurandhar has redefined what is possible for Indian cinema on the world stage, proving that grounded stories can achieve unparalleled global success.
