Dhurandhar has officially rewritten the history books of Indian cinema.
After completing a dominant month-long theatrical run, the Ranveer Singh–starrer has surged past every previous benchmark to become the highest-grossing Indian film of all time in a single language.
According to official figures released by the producers, the Hindi-only blockbuster has earned ₹1,240 crore worldwide, a feat no Indian film has ever achieved without multi-language releases.
Record-Breaking Global Performance
Unlike previous pan-India blockbusters, Dhurandhar achieved this milestone without dubbed versions — making it the first non-multilingual Indian film to enter the prestigious ₹1,000 crore club.
It has now surpassed:
- KGF: Chapter 2 – ₹1,200 crore
- Pathaan – approx ₹1,055 crore
- Jawan – multi-language release
and now stands as the highest-grossing Hindi film in history.
Domestic Box Office Dominance
On January 7, the film added another ₹5.70 crore in India, taking its net domestic total to ₹831.40 crore.
Its pace has been unprecedented:
- Day 16: Crossed ₹500 crore (fastest ever)
- Day 16: Surpassed Gadar 2 lifetime total (₹525 crore)
- Day 26: Entered ₹700 crore club — first Hindi film ever
- Day 30: Crossed ₹800 crore net in India
No Bollywood film has ever achieved these milestones at this speed.
Global Collection Timeline
- Day 24: Crossed ₹1,100 crore worldwide
- Current Total: ₹1,240 crore
Even more remarkably, the film lost an estimated $10 million in potential revenue by not releasing in Middle Eastern territories — markets traditionally strong for action cinema.
An overseas distributor confirmed:
“Action films historically perform extremely well in the Middle East. The missed release cost at least ten million dollars.”

A Historic Moment for Indian Cinema
With this unprecedented achievement, Dhurandhar has not just delivered a blockbuster — it has redefined what a single-language Indian film can accomplish on the world stage.
This is no longer just a box-office success story.
It is a turning point in the business of Indian cinema.
