Aditya Dhar’s spy-thriller Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge, starring Ranveer Singh, has officially scripted history. By Day 31 of its theatrical run, the film has bypassed the lifetime collection of Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2: The Rule, making it the third most successful Indian film in cinematic history.

The ₹1748 Crore Milestone

The sequel’s massive surge was fueled by an unprecedented international performance and a dominant run in the Hindi belt. While Pushpa 2 set a high bar with its massive Telugu and Hindi footprint, Dhurandhar 2 leveraged a heavy ₹419.60 crore overseas gross to tip the scales.

Box Office Breakdown

• Worldwide Gross: ₹1748.91 Cr

• India Net Collection: ₹1110.47 Cr (Record-breaking for a Hindi film)

  
  

• Overseas Collection: ₹419.60 Cr

• Franchise Milestone: First Indian franchise to cross the ₹3000 Cr worldwide mark (combined with Part 1).

All-Time Top 4 Indian Films (Worldwide)

With this achievement, the film is now within striking distance of the #2 spot, currently held by the fantasy epic Baahubali 2.

Why It Succeeded

The film's success is attributed to its high-octane action sequences and a storyline that resonated deeply with the domestic audience, allowing it to maintain a 31-day steady run despite stiff competition from newer releases like Bhooth Bangla.

: Unlike most Indian blockbusters that rely on a single massive market, Dhurandhar 2 achieved balance, becoming the highest-grossing Indian film ever when excluding the China and Gulf markets—territories where Dangal and Baahubali 2 saw their peak earnings.
