The spy thriller blew up within days and started its journey of unleashing mayhem at the Indian and overseas box office. Within days, it went on to become the highest-grossing film at the Hindi box office. Amassing more than Rs 840 crore net (Rs 1000+ crore gross), it kept its stronghold for weeks. It wrapped up its lifetime theatrical run with over Rs 1300 crores, making it the fourth highest-grossing Indian film of all-time.

Dhurandhar 2 turns a juggernaut

Keeping the stakes high, Dhurandhar 2 took things a notch higher and started breaking records from day 1. The worldwide box office turned into a playing field as the juggernaut crossed Rs 1700 crore globally. This made Dhurandhar 2, not only the biggest Hindi net grosser of all time, but it also emerged as the first film ever to top Rs 1000 crores net in a single language (Hindi) at the Indian box office.The combined worth of the Dhurandhar duology has kept cash registers ringing, and an exceptional performance in both domestic and international markets has pushed the franchise way past the historic Rs 3000 crore milestone.
