'Dhurandhar 2' Worldwide Collection
Aditya Dhar's film has set a record for being the highest-grossing Bollywood film in North America. The film has not been released in the Gulf countries due to prevailing conflict situations; however, despite these circumstances, its overseas business has reached ₹236.00 crore within just five days. Combining domestic and international figures, 'Dhurandhar 2' has achieved a worldwide gross collection of ₹856.00 crore in five days.
Earnings by Language Across the Country
Starring Ranveer Singh, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Sara Arjun, and Rakesh Bedi, *Dhurandhar: The Revenge* is generating the highest revenue in the country through its Hindi version. Over a span of five days, the film has earned ₹490.72 crore from the Hindi version alone, followed by ₹15.05 crore from the Telugu version, ₹7.09 crore from Tamil, ₹29 lakh from Malayalam, and ₹20 lakh from Kannada.
**Surpassing *Pathaan* in the Opening Weekend**
Starring Ranveer Singh, this film has achieved the biggest opening for an Indian movie in international markets, surpassing the five-day opening weekend collection of Shah Rukh Khan's *Pathaan*. Remarkably, the film achieved this magnificent feat without any contribution from the Gulf countries, where it remains banned. It is worth noting that *Dhurandhar 2* has been banned in Gulf nations such as the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, and Bahrain. The local censor boards deemed the film's content to be anti-Pakistan and politically sensitive, leading to its ban in these regions. The film is based on a story of espionage and revenge.
Highest-Grossing Indian Films Overseas in Their Opening Weekend
Dhurandhar 2 – ₹210 crore (4 days)
Pathaan – ₹206.50 crore (5 days)
Jawan – ₹192.00 crore (4 days)
Pushpa 2 – ₹172.00 crore (4 days)
***Dhurandhar* Conquers Overseas Markets as Well**
It is also worth recalling that the original *Dhurandhar* earned a lifetime total of approximately ₹300 crore in overseas markets, a figure that *Dhurandhar 2* is poised to surpass very soon. If 'Dhurandhar 2' maintains its current pace, it is poised to become the highest-grossing Indian film overseas—surpassed only by Aamir Khan's 'Dangal'. Currently, Aamir Khan's 'Dangal' remains the highest-grossing Indian film globally, having earned over ₹1,400 crore. While China is not typically a regular market for Indian films, 'Dangal' achieved phenomenal success immediately upon its release there; with earnings exceeding ₹1,400 crore in that region alone, it continues to hold the number one spot globally.
'Dhurandhar 2' Shows the Fastest Momentum in Overseas Earnings
It is worth noting that, within just five days of its release, 'Dhurandhar 2' has already secured the third position on the list of top-grossing Indian films. While 'Pushpa 2' (2024) earned ₹271 crore overseas, the country's second-highest-grossing film, 'RRR', earned ₹314 crore internationally; similarly, 'KGF 2' earned ₹214 crore, and 'Kalki 2898 AD' earned ₹275 crore. However—whereas all these other films achieved these figures over their entire theatrical runs—'Dhurandhar 2' has carved out this position for itself in a mere five days. It has emerged as the country's third most formidable film in terms of highest opening-weekend collections, a feat that has led to 'Pushpa 2' and 'RRR' are now haunted by the fear of slipping down.
