Dhurandhar Franchise at the Worldwide Box Office: Aditya Dhar’s Spy Saga Scripts History, Inaugurates the 3000 Crore Club!

All hail Aditya Dhar! The ace filmmaker has officially set a gold standard for Indian cinema that will be hard to eclipse. In a historic turn of events, the Dhurandhar franchise has become the first-ever Indian film series to breach the monumental Rs 3000 crore milestone at the worldwide box office. Led by Ranveer Singh, the franchise has not only dominated the charts but has also zoomed past the global collections of SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali by a massive margin.

The Phenomenon Begins: Dhurandhar (2025)

The journey started in 2025 with the first Dhurandhar film. Despite facing pre-release skepticism, the Akshaye Khanna co-starrer emerged as a dark horse, fueled by powerful content and high-octane action.

The film enjoyed an incredible 70-day theatrical run, amassing Rs 1354.84 crore worldwide. At the time, it concluded its run as the 2nd highest-grossing Bollywood film and the 4th highest-grossing Indian film globally, setting the stage for a sequel that would eventually devour all standing records.

The Mayhem Continues: Dhurandhar 2 (2026)

Released on March 19, 2026, coinciding with the festive fervor of Eid, Ugadi, and Gudi Padwa, Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge didn’t just meet expectations—it annihilated them.

From paid previews to its 24th day, the sequel has been on a record-breaking spree, becoming the fastest Bollywood film to enter every major club from Rs 100 crore all the way to the Rs 1100 crore mark in India. Currently, its domestic net stands at Rs 1102.25 crore (approx. Rs 1300.65 crore gross). Internationally, it has already grossed Rs 409 crore, taking its 24-day worldwide total to a staggering Rs 1709.65 crore.

Worldwide Breakdown: The Road to 3000 Crores

The Undisputed King of Indian Franchises

With a collective gross of Rs 3064.49 crore, the Dhurandhar series has officially dethroned the Baahubali franchise, which previously held the crown with a global gross of approximately Rs 2450 crore.

By unlocking the Rs 3000 crore club, Aditya Dhar and Ranveer Singh have elevated Indian cinema to a global stage, proving that content-driven action spectacles have no ceiling. As Dhurandhar 2 continues its glorious run, the gap between this franchise and its competitors is only set to widen.
