The Dhurandhar film franchise has made history by becoming the first Indian movie series to cross ₹3000 crore worldwide box office collections.
Directed by Aditya Dhar, the franchise stars Ranveer Singh, Sara Arjun, Akshaye Khanna, and R Madhavan, and has now officially become the highest-grossing franchise in Indian cinema.
With a combined total of over ₹3019 crore globally, the franchise has surpassed iconic film series like Baahubali and Pushpa, setting a new benchmark for the Indian film industry.
Box Office Breakdown of Dhurandhar Films
- Dhurandhar (Part 1): ₹1307 crore worldwide
- Dhurandhar: The Revenge (Part 2): ₹1712 crore worldwide
- Total Collection: ₹3019 crore worldwide
The first film, released in December, exceeded expectations despite limited release regions and restrictions in some international markets. Its sequel expanded globally and benefited from a wider release across multiple languages, contributing significantly to the record-breaking total.
First Indian Franchise with Two ₹1000 Crore Films
The Dhurandhar series has achieved another major milestone — it is the only Indian franchise where both films have crossed ₹1000 crore worldwide individually.
In India, the franchise has also performed exceptionally well, with collections crossing ₹1000 crore domestically, placing it among the biggest successes in Hindi cinema.
How Dhurandhar Compares to Baahubali and Pushpa

| Dhurandhar | ₹1307 crore | ₹1712 crore | ₹3019 crore |
| Baahubali | ₹650 crore | ₹1788 crore | ₹2438 crore |
| Pushpa | ₹350 crore | ₹1871 crore | ₹2221 crore |
While Baahubali and Pushpa set massive benchmarks earlier, Dhurandhar has now overtaken both with a significant margin.
Strong Performance Despite Industry Challenges
Interestingly, Dhurandhar achieved its success despite facing challenges such as limited international releases and strong competition in the market. The sequel’s release timing, with minimal competition, helped it dominate the box office globally.
Star Cast and Ongoing Success
Apart from Ranveer Singh, the films feature a strong ensemble cast including Arjun Rampal, Rakesh Bedi, and others. The sequel Dhurandhar: The Revenge continues to perform well in theatres, further strengthening its record-breaking run.
