In a box office moment without precedent in the history of Hindi cinema, Dhurandhar The Revenge has achieved a dual milestone that may not be replicated for years it stands as the single biggest Bollywood grosser worldwide when China is excluded from the calculation, and as the third highest of all time on the full global chart that includes Chinese theatrical revenue.
The Jio Studios production, starring Ranveer Singh in what is fast becoming the defining franchise role of his career, has posted a worldwide gross of Rs. 1,331.12 crore a figure that, when measured against the non-China worldwide chart, places it above every other Hindi film ever released. Its India net collection of Rs. 810.50 crore and overseas gross of Rs. 324.29 crore together tell the story of a film that performed with remarkable consistency across every market it entered.
The distinction between the two charts with and without China matters enormously in understanding what the film has accomplished. The full global chart, which incorporates Chinese theatrical revenue, is dominated by Dangal, Aamir Khan’s 2016 wrestling drama that became a phenomenon in the People’s Republic, accumulating Rs. 1,968.03 crore worldwide on the back of an extraordinary Rs. 1,430 crore overseas gross driven almost entirely by China. On that unrestricted chart, Dhurandhar Part 1 sits second with Rs. 1,350.83 crore, and Dhurandhar The Revenge ranks third at Rs. 1,331.12 crore meaning the two films in the Dhurandhar franchise now occupy the second and third positions on Bollywood’s all-time global leaderboard.
The non-China chart, however, tells an even more striking story for the sequel. Strip away the Chinese market where Bollywood’s fortunes have historically been volatile and where few recent Hindi releases have found significant traction and Dhurandhar The Revenge emerges not merely as a high-ranking entry but as the outright number one, surpassing its own franchise predecessor. With a worldwide gross of Rs. 1,334.23 crore excluding China, it overtakes Dhurandhar Part 1‘s Rs. 1,350.83 crore on the full chart but leads comfortably on the ex-China ranking, where Dangal drops to eighth place once its Chinese windfall is removed from the equation.
What makes the achievement particularly resonant is the nature of the markets that powered it. Unlike Dangal, whose global dominance was built on the extraordinary cultural and commercial machinery of Chinese theatrical distribution, Dhurandhar The Revenge earned its place at the top through the diaspora markets of North America, the Gulf, the United Kingdom, and Southeast Asia circuits that represent organic, long-term audience relationships rather than one-time crossover moments. The Rs. 324.29 crore overseas gross reflects not a fluke but a franchise with genuine international reach.
For Jio Studios, the numbers represent an almost unprecedented vindication of the multi-film franchise strategy. No production house in Bollywood history has simultaneously held the second and third positions on the all-time worldwide chart including China, while also placing first and second on the ex-China version of the same list. The Dhurandhar universe now commands the top two slots on the non-China worldwide chart and the second and third slots globally a dominance that reframes what is possible for a Hindi language franchise in the current market.
