Dhurandhar becomes 9th Indian film in the ₹1000 crore club
In 2017, when SS Rajamouli released Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, it became the first Indian film to enter the ₹1000 crore club by bringing in ₹1788.06 crore worldwide. After its initial release in 2016, Dangal was released in China in May, a month after Baahubali 2’s release. The film managed to overtake it and become the only film to enter the ₹2000 crore club, with a total of ₹2070 crore. Aamir Khan and Nitesh Tiwari’s Dangal still hold the position of the highest-grossing Indian film.
Soon after that, other films also began aiming for the milestone. The next film to cross the milestone would be Rajamouli’s RRR, released in 2022, which brought in ₹1,230 crore worldwide. Prashanth Neel’s KGF 2 would follow suit a month after RRR’s release, grossing ₹1215 crore worldwide. Since then, Atlee’s Jawan and Siddharth Anand’s Pathaan also crossed ₹1000 crore in 2023, grossing ₹1160 crore and ₹1055 crore respectively.
Nag Ashwin’s Kalki 2898 AD, released in 2024, also crossed the milestone with a worldwide haul of ₹1042.25 crore. Dhurandhar joined the club as 2025 came to an end, bringing in ₹1006.7 crore in 21 days. It remains to be seen where the film's lifetime haul stands.
