Dhurandhar worldwide box office storms past Rs 1,200 crore, beats KGF 2

MUMBAI: Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar continues its box-office rampage, crossing the Rs 1,200 crore mark worldwide in just 31 days and sealing its place among the five highest-grossing Indian films of all time.

The Ranveer Singh-led spy thriller is only the sixth Indian film to breach the Rs 1,200 crore milestone and has now overtaken Yash’s KGF Chapter 2 to rank fifth on the all-time global charts.

At the domestic box office, Dhurandhar staged a strong fifth weekend recovery, adding over Rs 33 crore net across three days. Its India tally now stands at Rs 772.25 crore net, translating to Rs 926.7 crore gross. While weekday collections are expected to soften, the film remains firmly entrenched as the country’s top grosser, comfortably outpacing new releases including Avatar: Fire and Ash, Ikkis and Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri.

Overseas, the film has amassed $31 million so far and is tracking towards a top-10 all-time finish for Indian cinema abroad. The numbers are particularly striking given Dhurandhar’s absence from Middle Eastern markets following a ban, a setback estimated to have shaved at least $10 million off its international haul.

Even without that territory, the film’s worldwide gross has climbed to Rs 1,207 crore, underlining its status as one of the most dominant theatrical runs in recent Indian cinema.
