Ranveer Singh's latest outing, the Aditya Dhar-directed spy action thriller *Dhurandhar*, has officially crossed the
₹1000 crore mark at the worldwide box office in just three weeks, solidifying its position as a major commercial
success. This achievement places *Dhurandhar* as the 9th Indian film in history to achieve this feat, signaling a
continuing trend of Indian films making significant global impact.
The film's domestic performance has been robust, garnering ₹668.8 crore net (approximately ₹789.18 crore gross).
Combined with an impressive ₹217.50 crore gross from overseas markets, *Dhurandhar*'s worldwide total stands at ₹1006.68
crore. The film benefitted from a strategic release window, facing minimal competition from other major Bollywood
releases, allowing it to dominate ticket sales despite the release of *Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri*.
*Dhurandhar*'s success reflects a growing appetite for Indian cinema on the global stage. The film's genre – a
high-octane spy action thriller – has broad appeal, attracting audiences both domestically and internationally. The
ensemble cast, featuring established actors like Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, and R. Madhavan alongside Ranveer Singh,
also contributed to its draw.
Ranveer Singh's career trajectory demonstrates a consistent ability to deliver commercially successful and critically
acclaimed performances. His willingness to experiment with different genres and collaborate with visionary directors has
solidified his position as one of Bollywood's leading actors. *Dhurandhar*'s success further enhances his brand value
and confirms his appeal to a wide audience base.
Director Aditya Dhar, known for his previous hit *Uri: The Surgical Strike*, has once again proven his ability to create
engaging and commercially viable action films. His collaboration with Ranveer Singh on *Dhurandhar* has resulted in a
film that resonates with audiences seeking thrilling entertainment. The announcement of a sequel, slated for release on
March 19, 2026, indicates the confidence in the franchise's continued success.
The film's entry into the ₹1000 crore club places it alongside other Indian cinematic giants such as *Dangal*,
*Baahubali 2*, *Pushpa 2*, *RRR*, *KGF Chapter 2*, *Jawan*, *Pathaan*, and *Kalki 2898 AD*. While *Dangal* remains the
highest-grossing Indian film of all time with ₹2059.04 crores, *Dhurandhar* is poised to potentially surpass *Kalki 2898
AD* (₹1054.67 crores) and climb further in the rankings.
*Dhurandhar*'s box office success is a testament to the evolving landscape of Indian cinema, where strategic releases,
genre appeal, and star power converge to create global blockbusters. The film's performance underscores the increasing
importance of overseas markets for Indian films and the potential for continued growth in the industry.
