Dhurandhar Claims Spot Among India's Top Overseas Earners
Ranveer Singh's action-packed film Dhurandhar continues its impressive box office run. The movie, which first hit theaters on December 5, 2025, has now entered an exclusive club. On its fortieth day in cinemas, Dhurandhar secured a position among the top ten highest-grossing Indian films overseas.
A Monumental Achievement in Global Markets
Industry tracker Sacnilk reports that Dhurandhar has collected a massive ₹290 crore from international markets. This total places the film at number ten on the all-time overseas earnings list for Indian cinema. The achievement becomes even more significant when considering the film's worldwide performance. Dhurandhar's global gross has already crossed ₹1259.5 crore, solidifying its status as a historic blockbuster.
What makes this ranking particularly special is the context. Dhurandhar did not receive a theatrical release in the Gulf countries. This region consistently contributes substantial revenue to major Indian films. Industry analysts estimate that missing the Gulf market likely cost Dhurandhar around ₹90 crore in potential earnings.
How Dhurandhar Compares to Other Giants
The elite overseas list features some of India's biggest cinematic successes. Here is the current top ten, according to Sacnilk:
- Dangal: ₹1535.3 crore
- Secret Superstar: ₹831.47 crore
- Bajrangi Bhaijaan: ₹489.47 crore
- Jawan: ₹400 crore
- Pathaan: ₹397.5 crore
- Baahubali 2 - The Conclusion: ₹371.16 crore
- Andhadhun: ₹347.62 crore
- RRR: ₹314.15 crore
- PK: ₹303 crore
- Dhurandhar: ₹290 crore
Many films on this list, like Dangal and Secret Superstar, achieved their numbers through phenomenal success in China. In contrast, Shah Rukh Khan's recent hits such as Jawan and Pathaan built their massive overseas totals without a China release. They dominated traditional markets like the USA, Canada, the UK, and Australia.
Dhurandhar's entry proves a film can reach global blockbuster status even without access to every key international market. Its performance challenges the conventional pathways to overseas success.
Strong Domestic Performance Continues
The film's success is not limited to foreign shores. Domestically, Dhurandhar remains a powerhouse. As of Tuesday, January 13, its India net collection stood at an impressive ₹810.50 crore. This figure puts it in direct competition with modern classics like Jawan and Uri.
Dhurandhar's box office journey has been defined by both speed and staying power. It became the second-fastest Hindi film ever to cross the ₹500 crore net mark in India. The movie is now showing incredible longevity, posting strong numbers well into its sixth week of release.
Directed by Aditya Dhar and starring Ranveer Singh, Dhurandhar has carved its name into box office history. Its ability to join the top ten overseas earners, despite a significant market hurdle, marks a watershed moment for Indian cinema on the global stage.
