'Dhurandhar' overtakes 'Pushpa 2' to become highest-grossing Hindi film
Dhurandhar, a spy action thriller directed by Aditya Dhar and starring Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, and Sara Arjun, has just become the top-grossing Hindi film ever—surpassing Pushpa 2 (Hindi).
Backed by Jio Studios with a ₹225cr budget, the film's blend of star power and action has clearly struck a chord.
In numbers:
Dhurandhar raced past the ₹500cr India net mark in only 16 days—a record for Hindi films—and now sits at ₹831.40cr net in India after 33 days.
Globally, it's earned ₹1,247 crore (beating RRR), with $31.5 million from overseas markets; US-Canada alone contributed $20 million.
Its return on investment is a whopping 269.5%.
Why people are talking about it
Karan Johar called Dhurandhar "so incredibly deserving" and his favorite movie of the year—praising its storytelling and direction, and specifically mentioning the use of background music.
