Entertainment Desk : Even after twenty-five days of its theatrical release, the storm created by 'Dhurandhar: The Revenge' shows no signs of slowing down. From its very first week, the film has maintained an unstoppable victory lap at the box office. Following the massive success of the first installment released in December 2025, trade analysts had predicted a historic run for the sequel, and as of late March 2026, those predictions have turned into a staggering reality.
Directed by the visionary Aditya Dhar, the sequel has earned the prestigious title of the "Father of the Box Office." Within just two weeks of its release, the film crossed the 1500 crore mark globally. Now, entering its fourth week, the Ranveer Singh starrer has achieved a feat previously thought impossible for a Bollywood franchise, officially entering the 3000 crore club.
Breaking the Supremacy of South Indian Megahits
The most shocking revelation from the latest trade reports is the film's dominance over the two biggest franchises in Indian cinema history. With a combined global collection of ₹3019.35 crores, the 'Dhurandhar' franchise has officially surpassed the total lifetime earnings of both 'Baahubali' and 'Pushpa'. This is a monumental milestone in the history of Bollywood, proving that content-driven high-octane sequels can still rule the international market.
"The sheer scale at which this film is performing is unprecedented," noted a lead reporter from the trade analysis site Sacnilk. The report highlights that while the South Indian sequels also created international waves, 'Dhurandhar: The Revenge' has effectively crushed those records, setting a new gold standard for Indian cinema.

The Future of the Dhurandhar Franchise
