The Indian film industry has a new box office champion. The Dhurandhar franchise, led by actor Ranveer Singh and directed by Aditya Dhar, has officially surpassed the ₹3000 crore mark in global collections. This monumental achievement establishes it as the highest-grossing film series in Indian cinema history, outperforming previous record-holders.
A New Benchmark in Indian Cinema
Comprising the films Dhurandhar and its sequel, Dhurandhar: The Revenge, the franchise's combined global earnings now stand at over ₹3019 crore, according to industry trackers. This figure places it significantly ahead of other major Indian cinematic sagas.
Outperforming Top Franchises
The Dhurandhar series has eclipsed the worldwide collections of several acclaimed franchises:
- Baahubali Series: Previously held the benchmark with a combined ₹2438 crore.
- Pushpa Franchise: Accumulated a cumulative total of ₹2221 crore.
- KGF Films: Collectively earned ₹1453 crore.
Individual Film Successes
Both installments of the Dhurandhar franchise have demonstrated exceptional individual box office strength, a rare feat in Indian cinema. Dhurandhar, which premiered in December 2025, garnered over ₹1307 crore worldwide despite facing bans in certain Gulf states and Pakistan. Its sequel, Dhurandhar: The Revenge, released on March 19, 2026, has already grossed over ₹1712 crore globally and continues its successful theatrical run.
Notably, both films have individually crossed the ₹1000 crore mark worldwide, a testament to their widespread appeal and strong audience reception. The first film's net collection in India was ₹840 crore, while the sequel has already exceeded ₹1083 crore domestically.
Ensemble Cast and Future Prospects
Beyond Ranveer Singh's starring role, the films feature a robust ensemble cast including Akshaye Khanna, Arjun Rampal, R Madhavan, Rakesh Bedi, Danish Pandor, and Gaurav Gera, contributing to the franchise's broad appeal. With Dhurandhar: The Revenge still drawing audiences, the franchise's total earnings are expected to climb further, solidifying its position at the pinnacle of the Indian box office.
