Dhurandhar duology box office: individual film performance

The first Dhurandhar film, starring Ranveer Singh, released in December last year and built strong momentum. It finished its global run at Rs 1307 crore gross. Dhurandhar: The Revenge released on March 19 and expanded that success. The sequel has now collected around Rs 1712 crore worldwide, taking the franchise total to Rs 3019 crore.

Dhurandhar: The Revenge faced restrictions in some territories but still delivered a huge business. The film was banned in the Gulf states and in Pakistan. Despite this, the Jio Studios and B62 Studios production sustained demand across other international markets and India, which underlined the pull of the franchise and its narrative.

Dhurandhar: The Revenge continues to add numbers at the global box office, even after crossing Rs 1700 crore. Trade reports note that the film maintained strong weekday holds.
