Dhurandhar Breaks Bollywood Records
Ranveer Singh's "Dhurandhar" has become the highest-grossing Bollywood film ever in the domestic market, officially entering the ultra-exclusive "1000 Crore Club" alongside only three other Hindi movies. The film has shattered previous records with collections that dwarf the average of ₹1,396.95 crore for top earners. This achievement cements "Dhurandhar" as the defining blockbuster of 2026 and sets a new benchmark for future Bollywood productions.
- The film was produced with a substantial budget of approximately ₹280 crore, making its box office performance a significant financial success with profits nearing ₹1,000 crore. - "Dhurandhar" is the second directorial venture from Aditya Dhar, whose debut film, "Uri: The Surgical Strike" (2019), was also a major critical and commercial success, winning him a National Film Award for Best Director. - The movie features a large ensemble cast alongside Ranveer Singh, including Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, and R. Madhavan. - This film marks a significant comeback for Ranveer Singh, whose previous major film, "Singham Again," underperformed at the box office. - The story is the first installment of a planned duology, with the sequel, "Dhurandhar: Part 2 – Revenge," already scheduled for a March 19, 2026 release. - While "Dhurandhar" is the fourth Hindi film to enter the 1000 Crore Club, the highest-grossing Indian film of all time remains "Dangal" (2016), which earned over ₹2,000 crore, largely due to its massive success in China. - Following the "Dhurandhar" sequel, Ranveer Singh is slated to take on the iconic lead role in "Don 3," the next chapter of the popular action franchise, with filming expected to begin in 2026.
