The cinematic juggernaut Dhurandhar continues its unprecedented dominance at the box office well into 2026, rewriting the record books for Indian cinema. In the wake of its phenomenal and sustained success, Aditya Chopra's prestigious banner, Yash Raj Films (YRF), has released an official statement, lauding the film as a historic 'milestone'.
YRF's Grand Tribute to a Cinematic Landmark
YRF's powerful statement did not hold back in its admiration for the blockbuster. The production house declared that Dhurandhar is not merely a film but a milestone moment in Indian cinema that will be remembered forever. It extended congratulations to director Aditya Dhar and Jio Studios for creating the highest-grossing Indian film of all time in a single language.
The statement showered praise on Aditya Dhar's leadership, highlighting his clarity of purpose, fearless storytelling, and unwavering commitment to excellence as factors that have set a new benchmark. While applauding every cast member and technician for their dedication, the note referred to them as the true 'Dhurandhars' who brought the film's vision to life so gloriously on the big screen.
Ranveer Singh's Emotional Response to Alma Mater
Although the YRF statement did not single out lead actor Ranveer Singh by name, the actor, who made his debut with YRF's Band Baaja Baaraat in 2010, was quick to respond. Replying to the praise from his former home studio, Singh wrote a heartfelt message: "My beloved Alma Mater. only ever wanted to make you proud!"
This interaction gains significance against the backdrop of Ranveer Singh's reported exit from YRF in 2022 following the commercial performance of Jayeshbhai Jordaar. At that time, sources indicated that while YRF would always be home for the actor and future collaborations were possible, Singh has not signed a film with the banner since. The precise reasons for his departure remain undisclosed.
Unstoppable Box Office Records and Figures
On the commercial front, Dhurandhar shows no signs of slowing down. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, the film has minted a staggering ₹783.35 crore net in India. Its worldwide net collections stand at an astonishing ₹1222 crore, firmly placing it in the elite ₹1,200 crore club.
Renowned film trade analyst Taran Adarsh confirmed a monumental achievement. He announced that on its fifth Tuesday (Day 33), Dhurandhar has officially surpassed the lifetime Hindi business of Allu Arjun's Pushpa 2, previously the highest-grossing film in the Hindi market. Adarsh called this 'THE biggest moment in the HISTORY of Hindi film business', a feat that once seemed unthinkable.
The combined force of critical acclaim, historic box office performance, and the mending of bridges between a superstar and his foundational studio makes the success story of Dhurandhar one of the most compelling chapters in contemporary Indian cinema.
