Mumbai, April 13 - Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has scripted box office history by emerging as the highest-grossing Indian film worldwide without any contribution from the Gulf and China markets. In just 24 days, the Ranveer Singh starrer has stormed past the 1700 crore mark globally, setting a new benchmark for Hindi cinema.
Directed by Aditya Dhar, the spy action thriller's phenomenal run has been driven by a dominant domestic performance and a once-in-a-lifetime overseas showing. Despite missing out on two of the most lucrative international circuits, Dhurandhar 2 has raked in 410+ crore gross overseas, powered by exceptional collections in North America, the United Kingdom, Australia, and key European territories.
Worldwide Box Office Numbers (Without Gulf & China)
Dhurandhar 2 – 1700+ crore (24 days)
Pushpa 2: The Rule – 1685+ crore
Baahubali 2: The Conclusion – 1615+ crore
Indian blockbusters have relied on Gulf countries for consistent NRI footfall. China, though it is not a regular market for Indian films, can boost collections to extraordinary levels. Films like Dangal and Baahubali 2: The Conclusion significantly benefited from these regions. However, Dhurandhar 2 has rewritten that narrative by achieving record-breaking numbers purely on the strength of its core markets and widespread audience acceptance.
The sequel has also crossed the 1000 crore net mark in India as well as in Hindi, underlining its massive domestic pull. Its sustained run, aided by strong word-of-mouth and repeat viewership, has ensured that it remains a top draw even into its fourth week, an increasingly rare feat for a heavily frontloaded title.
