Ranveer Singh has once again proven his box office pull. His latest film, Dhurandhar, has officially crossed a historic milestone, becoming the highest-grossing Hindi-language film in India, surpassing the Hindi-dubbed version of Pushpa 2: The Rule. The achievement marks a defining moment not just for Singh’s career, but also for large-scale Hindi cinema.
A Record-Breaking Box Office Run
According to figures released by Jio Studios, Dhurandhar has collected ₹981.05 crore in India, while its international earnings stand at $30.5 million. These numbers place the film at the very top of the Hindi-language box office chart, a feat rarely achieved in such a competitive cinematic landscape.
The film’s consistent performance across metros, tier-2 cities, and overseas markets reflects its wide appeal and strong word-of-mouth.
A Powerful Cast Backing a Strong Vision
Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar is produced by Jio Studios and B62 Studios. Ranveer Singh leads the film with a controlled and intense performance, while Akshaye Khanna delivers a menacing turn as the antagonist.
The supporting cast adds depth and scale, featuring Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Sara Arjun, Rakesh Bedi, Manav Gohil, Danish Pandor, Saumya Tandon, Gaurav Gera, and Naveen Kaushik. Each character plays a role in building the film’s layered narrative.
Dhurandhar is now the No.1 Hindi grosser worldwide, beating Pushpa 2: The Rule.

A Story Rooted in Espionage and Realism
Told in two parts, Dhurandhar follows a decade-long Indian intelligence mission. The first installment centers on an undercover operative who infiltrates the criminal and political underworld of Karachi, navigating betrayal, moral conflict, and national duty.
The film ends on a gripping cliffhanger, setting the stage for a sequel that is already among the most anticipated upcoming Hindi films.
Global Recognition for Hindi Cinema
Beyond India, Dhurandhar has made a strong international impact. It has emerged as the number one Hindi-language film of all time in North America and continues to rank among the top-performing Indian films globally, reinforcing the growing reach of Hindi cinema worldwide.
Conclusion
Dhurandhar is more than just a box office success—it represents a shift in how Hindi films are being made, marketed, and received globally. With a compelling story, powerful performances, and record-shattering numbers, the film has firmly secured its place in Indian cinema history. As audiences now wait for Part Two, Dhurandhar stands tall as a benchmark for future big-budget Hindi productions.
