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 is among the world’s highest-grossing films

As it nears the end of its third week in theatres, Dhurandhar 2 has amassed over 1000 crore net ( 1246 crore gross) in India. It is 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. It has minted $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

As of Wednesday, Dhurandhar 2 has earned 1656 crore ($178 million) worldwide. This is more than what Chris Hemsworth’s latest film - Crime 101 - earned when it released in February. The crime thriller made $72 million. The Ranveer Singh film has also beaten the likes of Rachel McAdams’ Send Help ($94 million) and Riz Ahmed’s Hamlet ($78 million). Dhurandhar 2 earned over $80 million in its opening weekend alone, thrice what Zendaya and Robert Pattinson’s The Drama ($26 million) had made since its release last week. In fact, Dhurandhar 2’s $15-million opening week haul in North America is greater than what The Drama has earned there in the same time period.

All about Dhurandhar 2

Directed by Aditya Dhar and backed by Jio Studios and B62 Studios, 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.
