Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar and Dhurandhar: The Revenge have created history with a collective worldwide collection standing at a whopping Rs 3000 crore, and with this, Dhurandhar not only became the first Indian film series to achieve the feat but also broke many records. The film has broken the long-held record of the biggest films, including Prabhas’ Baahubali and South superstar Allu Arjun’s Pushpa franchise.

When the first part of the Ranveer Singh starrer released in December last year, it managed to do a worldwide business of Rs 1307 crore gross. On March 19, Dhurandhar: The Revenge came like a storm. Despite being banned in the Gulf states, apart from Pakistan, the Jio Studios and B62 Studios production proved that with strong storytelling,

everything is possible. Now, as per trade website Sacnilk, the film has crossed the Rs 1712 crore mark worldwide, which takes the total collection of Aditya Dhar’s directorial franchise to a whopping Rs 3019 crore, a number making it the first Indian film franchise to ever achieve this milestone.
