The journey began with the first Dhurandhar, which released amid cautious trade expectations despite decent buzz. However, once it hit theatres, the film quickly turned into a box office phenomenon. Strong word of mouth, repeat value and audience curiosity around its storyline helped it sustain an extraordinary run for weeks. It eventually crossed Rs 1300 crore worldwide, while also emerging as one of the biggest Hindi hits ever with over Rs 1000 crore gross, laying a solid foundation for a long term franchise.
Building on that momentum, Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge took things to an entirely different level. Led by Ranveer Singh, the sequel opened to huge anticipation and delivered beyond expectations. It has already collected over Rs 1700 crore globally and continues to perform strongly in several markets. The film also created history by becoming the first to cross Rs 1000 crore net in a single language at the Indian box office, further strengthening the franchise’s dominance.
What makes this achievement even more impressive is the consistency across both films. Each instalment not only delivered record breaking numbers but also showed remarkable staying power in theatres, driven by mass appeal, high octane action and strong audience connect. Directed by Aditya Dhar, the series has redefined the scale of action storytelling in Hindi cinema. More than just a milestone, crossing Rs 3000 crore signals a shift in how Indian franchises are now perceived globally, proving they can stand shoulder to shoulder with the biggest film series in the world.
