Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge is not just performing well overseas — it is redefining the scale, consistency, and market reach of Indian cinema across global territories. In just 11 days, the film has established dominance across key markets like Australia, UK, Germany, New Zealand, and even non-traditional markets like Hong Kong, setting benchmarks that very few Indian films have managed historically. What makes the overseas run even more significant is that the film is not just performing in traditional strongholds of Indian cinema, but is also expanding into markets that were historically dominated by specific stars, languages, or dubbed versions. In several territories, the film is now challenging or even surpassing markets that were once considered exclusive strongholds of certain superstars and industries. In Australia, the film has already emerged as the highest-grossing Indian film of all time, collecting A$6.37M in just 11 days. It has comfortably crossed the lifetime numbers of films like Pathaan, Jawan, and Animal, and has done so in record time. The film also became the first ever Indian title to breach the A$6M mark within just 10 days, highlighting its extraordinary pace and strong trend. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Australia has emerged as one of the biggest overseas markets for Telugu cinema over the past decade, with big spectacle films dominating the territory. Dhurandhar 2 becoming the highest-grossing Indian film in Australia shows that the film has not only entered the market but completely dominated a territory that was previously driven heavily by large-scale action spectacles and franchise films.

Dhurandhar 2 has already entered the prestigious £3M club within just 10 days, becoming the first 18+ rated Indian film to achieve this milestone. It now stands as the second highest-grossing Indian film of all time in the region, surpassing the lifetime collections of several major Indian releases. The UK has traditionally been one of the strongest overseas markets for Bollywood and especially star-driven films due to the large South Asian diaspora. Dhurandhar 2 entering the top all-time list within just 10 days shows a clear shift in audience trends and indicates that the film is performing like a long-run blockbuster rather than just an opening-driven hit.

Historically, Indian films in Germany were limited to niche diaspora screenings and film festivals, and the market has largely been dominated by Shah Rukh Khan films — with 4 out of the top 5 highest-grossing Bollywood films in Germany being SRK starrers such as Pathaan (€888K), Jawan (€688K), Dunki (€460K), and My Name Is Khan (€375K), highlighting his long-standing brand value in the region. Dhurandhar 2 performing at this level without a dubbed version and without that traditional market base indicates that the film is not just performing in the market but expanding the market itself and attracting a new audience segment beyond the usual diaspora and niche Indian cinema audience. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) New Zealand is another territory where the film is rewriting records. With NZ$988K in 11 days, it is set to enter the NZ$1M club, becoming only the second Indian film after Pathaan to do so. Notably, it has already surpassed the lifetime collections of most Indian films in the region within just 10 days, indicating a very strong trend in the market.

Perhaps the most surprising performance comes from Hong Kong, where Dhurandhar 2 has crossed HK$1.15M despite releasing in just two theatres and without Chinese subtitles. This is significant from a distribution perspective because Indian films in East Asian markets usually rely heavily on local language subtitles or dubbed versions to reach wider audiences. Films like Dangal in China succeeded largely because of a Mandarin-dubbed version tailored for the local audience, whereas Dhurandhar 2 is performing purely on word of mouth and genre appeal rather than localization, making this a rare breakthrough for Indian cinema in the region. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) When compared to previous global blockbusters, Dhurandhar 2 stands out not just for its openings, but for its consistency and expansion into newer markets. While most Indian films rely heavily on traditional diaspora markets, Dhurandhar 2 is showing growth across Europe and East Asia as well, which is a very rare trend for an Indian commercial film. The overall overseas trajectory clearly indicates that the film is not just opening big, but trending like a long-run blockbuster across multiple territories simultaneously. From dominating traditional markets like Australia and the UK to expanding into newer territories like Germany and Hong Kong, Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge is setting a new benchmark for overseas box office performance for Indian cinema.

Hyderabad, March 30 - Director Aditya Dhar's spy action thriller Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge is rewriting box office history, both domestically and globally. The film has achieved a massive milestone by surpassing the entire lifetime collection of its predecessor, Dhurandhar, within just 11 days of release. With this feat, it has become the 4th highest-grossing Indian film of all time at the worldwide box office. At the overseas box office, the film has emerged as one of the biggest Indian blockbusters ever. While the first part had already established a strong overseas presence with 300 crore gross, the sequel has taken things to another level, raking in approximately 342 crore in just 11 days. Despite its lengthy runtime of nearly four hours, audiences across global markets are flocking to cinemas in unprecedented numbers.

Hyderabad, March 30 - Supertar Ram Charan's much-awaited film Peddi is once again making headlines due to fresh reports of a postponement. The big-budget rural sports action drama, which has already faced multiple delays, is now unlikely to arrive on its previously announced release date. Initially slated for a March 2026 release, Peddi was later pushed to April 30, 2026. However, the latest industry buzz suggests that the film may miss this date as well. While the makers are yet to make an official announcement, strong indications point towards another shift in the release timeline. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The delay is said to be a result of pending production and post-production work. Another factor that contributed to the delay was a minor injury Ram Charan sustained during the shoot, which temporarily halted filming. Directed by Buchi Babu Sana, Peddi also stars Janhvi Kapoor, Shiva Rajkumar, Jagapathi Babu, and Divyenndu. Meanwhile, the makers are carefully planning a new release date to secure a clear box office window. As per ongoing speculation, Peddi is now eyeing a May/June 2026 release, with a possible arrival in the latter month.

Mumbai, March 28 - Director Aditya Dhar's two-part Dhurandhar franchise, which is based on true events, has written the box office history with the second part, Dhurandhar: The Revenge, literally taking things to the next level with record-breaking performance. It is the highest-grossing Indian film franchise with 2500+ crores worldwide and is still going strong. While Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has been hailed as one of the most iconic films by audiences and critics alike, it is not sitting well with some filmmakers, and one of them is Tamil director Vetrimaaran. The national award-winning filmmaker is reportedly not happy with the political tone, particularly with a short episode of the movie where demonetization was given credit for reduced Pakistan-sponsored terror activities in India. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) During a recent interaction, Vetrimaaran spoke about the growing influence of alleged propaganda in shaping public perception and memory.

Mumbai, March 28 - Filmmaker Mohit Suri has shared an interesting behind-the-scenes insight into the marketing strategy of his upcoming film Saiyaara, revealing that none other than Shah Rukh Khan personally praised the team's unconventional approach. In an interaction, Suri disclosed that the decision to keep debutants Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda away from excessive media exposure and promotional appearances was a conscious and carefully thought-out move.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) In today's film industry, aggressive promotions, interviews, and social media visibility are often seen as essential tools to build hype. However, Saiyaara chose to take a different route by maintaining an element of mystery around its lead pair.

This approach not only builds curiosity but also allows viewers to connect with the characters without preconceived notions.

It was one of the highest-grossing Indian films of 2025, and by far the biggest-grossing love story of Indian cinema.

Box office records are usually measured by opening day, opening weekend or lifetime collections, but one of the strongest indicators of a film's box office strength is how long it can sustain blockbuster-level daily collections. In the Hindi box office context, maintaining ₹40 crore net per day is considered a blockbuster-level benchmark, and only a handful of films in history have managed to cross this number for multiple consecutive days. With Dhurandhar 2 maintaining ₹40+ crore Hindi net for 8 consecutive days, the film has now entered an elite list of Indian blockbusters that sustained massive daily collections for an extended period. In fact, the 8-day Hindi net streak puts Dhurandhar 2 at the very top when compared to other major blockbusters like Pushpa 2, Baahubali 2, Jawan and Animal. Pushpa: The Rule (Pushpa 2) maintained ₹40+ crore Hindi net collections for 5 consecutive days from Day 1 to Day 5, excluding premiere shows. The film had a massive opening and strong weekend hold, but collections dropped below ₹40 crore Hindi net after the first Monday, which ended its streak at five days. Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, which was the biggest Indian blockbuster for many years, crossed the ₹40 crore Hindi net mark for its first four days. The film collected above ₹40 crore Hindi net from Day 1 to Day 4 before weekday drops brought the daily Hindi numbers below the ₹40 crore mark. Jawan also had a very strong extended opening weekend in the Hindi market, collecting above ₹40 crore Hindi net for its first four days. However, like most films, the weekday drop after the weekend meant that the ₹40 crore Hindi net streak lasted only for the extended opening weekend period. Animal, powered by strong word of mouth, also maintained the ₹40 crore Hindi net level for four days, including a strong Monday hold, before collections dropped further on the following days. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Dhurandhar 2, Pushpa 2, Baahubali 2, Jawan, Animal :₹40 Crore Plus Hindi Net Days – Day Wise Comparison Day Dhurandhar 2 Pushpa 2 Baahubali 2 Jawan Animal Day 1 ₹ 99.10 Cr ₹ 70.3 Cr ₹ 41 Cr ₹ 65.5 Cr ₹ 54.75 Cr Day 2 ₹ 78.94 Cr ₹ 56.9 Cr ₹ 40.5 Cr ₹ 46.23 Cr ₹ 58.37 Cr Day 3 ₹ 105 Cr ₹ 73.5 Cr ₹ 46.5 Cr ₹ 68.72 Cr ₹ 63.46 Cr Day 4 ₹ 107 Cr ₹ 85 Cr ₹ 40.25 Cr ₹ 71.63 Cr ₹ 40.06 Cr Day 5 ₹ 60 Cr ₹ 46.4 Cr Below 40 Below 40 Below 40 Day 6 ₹ 52 Cr Below 40 - - - Day 7 ₹ 45 Cr - - - - Day 8 ₹ 46 Cr - - - - Total ₹40 Cr+ Days 8 Days 5 Days 4 Days 4 Days 4 Days The table clearly shows the difference between opening weekend performance and sustained weekday performance in the Hindi market. Most films like Pushpa 2, Baahubali 2, Jawan and Animal crossed ₹40 crore mainly during their opening weekend and early weekdays, but the Hindi net collections dropped below ₹40 crore after the first Monday or Tuesday. Dhurandhar 2, however, continued to collect above ₹40 crore Hindi net even during the weekdays and into the second Thursday, which is why its streak extended to eight days, significantly higher than the other films in the comparison. When we compare all these films, Dhurandhar 2 clearly stands out because maintaining ₹40+ crore Hindi net not just over a weekend but across weekdays for multiple days is extremely difficult. Weekend numbers are driven by advance booking and opening hype, but weekday collections depend heavily on word of mouth, repeat audience and sustained occupancy levels. This is what makes the 8-day ₹40 crore Hindi net streak particularly significant. It indicates not just a big opening, but sustained box office momentum across the first full week and beyond. Very few films in the Hindi box office have managed to sustain blockbuster-level daily collections for such a long continuous period. The comparison also highlights an important box office trend. Many films open very big, but sustaining high collections after the weekend is what separates big openers from historic blockbusters. In that sense, the ₹40 crore Hindi net streak is a better indicator of box office strength than just the opening day number. With Dhurandhar 2 now achieving 8 consecutive days above ₹40 crore Hindi net, the film has set a new benchmark for sustained daily collections in the Hindi box office. Whether future films can match or surpass this streak will be an interesting trend to watch, but as of now, Dhurandhar 2 has firmly placed itself among the strongest sustained performers in the Hindi box office in recent years.
