Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar franchise overtakes Baahubali, Pushpa, KGF to become India’s Highest-Grossing Film
Helmed by director Aditya Dhar, the two films – Dhurandhar (2025) and its sequel Dhurandhar: The Revenge (2026) – have together crossed the ₹3000 crore mark at the global box office. This makes it the first Indian franchise to reach such a figure.
For everyone in Mauritius who went to see it, just know you’ve actually contributed to this record-breaking moment!
Outperforming Baahubali, Pushpa and KGF
This achievement puts the Dhurandhar franchise ahead of some of Indian cinema’s most successful titles. The Baahubali series, directed by SS Rajamouli and starring Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, Anushka Shetty and Tamannaah Bhatia, previously set a benchmark with around ₹2438 crore worldwide.
The Pushpa franchise by Sukumar, featuring Allu Arjun, Rashmika Mandanna and Fahadh Faasil, has earned approximately ₹2221 crore, while Prashanth Neel’s KGF series, led by Yash, stands at about ₹1453 crore.
Dhurandhar: The Revenge Sequel Drives the Momentum
A major boost to the franchise’s total comes from Dhurandhar: The Revenge, which has maintained strong performance even after its release phase.
The sequel has drawn large audiences and delivered consistent numbers, helping push the overall earnings beyond the ₹3000 crore milestone.
A Turning Point for Bollywood
The success of Dhurandhar goes beyond just numbers. It highlights how Hindi cinema is evolving, with films now reaching wider global audiences and competing with large-scale pan-India productions.
The franchise’s mix of high-energy action, storytelling, and star power has clearly resonated with viewers across markets.
Final Take
Crossing ₹3000 crore worldwide is no small feat – it marks a new chapter for Indian film franchises.
With Dhurandhar, Ranveer Singh and Aditya Dhar have set a new benchmark, proving that Bollywood films can dominate not just locally, but on a global scale.
