Dhurandhar franchise hits 3,000 crore mark globally

The Indian film industry has achieved a historic milestone as the Dhurandhar franchise, directed by Aditya Dhar, officially surpassed the ₹3,000 crore mark globally.

As of mid-April 2026, this high-octane spy thriller series has grossed over ₹3,019 crore, becoming the first Indian film series to reach such a staggering total.

Starring Ranveer Singh, the franchise follows an Indian intelligence agent conducting undercover operations, blending fictional narratives with real-world geopolitical events.

The first film, released in December 2025, paved the way for the sequel, Dhurandhar: The Revenge, which capitalized on a clear box office run to earn over ₹1,712 crore.

Industry experts credit the massive success to Aditya Dhar’s fast-paced storytelling and vision, rather than solely relying on star power.

With the combined efforts of Jio Studios and B62 Studios, this franchise proves that multi-part Indian storytelling can compete with the biggest international blockbusters, signaling a new era of cinematic scale in India.
