Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar The Revenge is rewriting box office history, not just in India but across the globe. In just eight days, the film has delivered a stunning overseas performance, collecting around $28.9 million (Rs 274 crore)—a figure that places it among the top five highest-grossing Indian films internationally (excluding Gulf markets).
What makes this run even more impressive is its consistency. The film has managed to earn over Rs 40 crore nett every single day since release—something no other Indian blockbuster has sustained for eight straight days. While big films like Pushpa 2: The Rule, Jawan, and Animal opened strong, their collections saw typical weekday drops. In contrast, Dhurandhar 2 is holding steady, showing strong audience demand beyond just opening weekend hype.
Globally, the film is now competing with some of Indian cinema's biggest titles. Baahubali 2: The Conclusion still leads overseas charts with its massive scale and universal appeal, while Pathaan benefited from Shah Rukh Khan's global stardom and action-heavy storytelling. Yet, Dhurandhar 2 has managed to reach close to these benchmarks in record time—and that too without a release in the Gulf, a key overseas market for Bollywood.

The film's performance across territories has been equally strong. In North America, collections have already crossed $17 million. In Australia, it has entered the A$5 million club in just over a week, overtaking lifetime numbers of films like Animal.
Germany, traditionally dominated by Shah Rukh Khan films, has also seen exceptional numbers, 705K Euros in 8 days, with Dhurandhar 2 surpassing previous benchmarks. In Singapore, too, the film is close to crossing the $1 million mark, backed by a remarkably strong hold during weekdays.
Back home, the film continues its dream run. On Day 8 (Thursday), it earned Rs 49.70 crore nett across nearly 19,500 shows, even showing slight growth from the previous day. The total India net now stands at approximately Rs 674 crore, with the gross crossing Rs 805 crore. Combined with overseas numbers, the worldwide total has already crossed a massive Rs 1,079 crore.

With the second weekend approaching and advance bookings picking up again, trade experts believe the film could soon challenge the lifetime overseas records of Pathaan ($35.10 million) and even Baahubali 2 ($36.65 million).
If the current momentum continues, this Ranveer-starrer is well on track to become one of the biggest global successes Indian cinema has ever seen.
