A Historic Opening That Redefines Indian Box Office Standards
In a monumental achievement for Indian cinema, Dhurandhar The Revenge has delivered the biggest opening weekend in history, amassing a staggering ₹761 crore worldwide. Backed by Jio Studios and B62 Studios, and directed by Aditya Dhar, the film has not only met sky-high expectations but has gone far beyond, setting new global benchmarks across both domestic and international markets. The scale of its opening has firmly positioned it as the biggest global Indian blockbuster of all time.
Unprecedented Momentum Driven by Advance Bookings and Audience Frenzy
The film’s record-breaking run began even before its release, with extraordinary advance bookings and sold-out shows across major circuits. The anticipation surrounding the sequel translated into historic footfalls, ensuring that every single day of its opening weekend registered all-time high collections. From paid previews to Sunday, the film maintained a consistent upward trajectory, reflecting unmatched audience demand and franchise strength.
Day-Wise Performance Highlights a Power-Packed Weekend
The numbers underline the film’s dominance across territories. Paid previews and Day 1 (Thursday) alone brought in ₹145 crore (India nett) alongside ₹52 crore overseas. Day 2 (Friday) added ₹83 crore domestically and ₹46 crore internationally. The momentum surged further on Saturday with ₹117 crore in India and ₹58 crore overseas, followed by a massive Sunday total of ₹121 crore (India nett) and ₹56 crore internationally. This consistent growth culminated in an India nett total of ₹466 crore and a gross of ₹550 crore, with overseas collections contributing ₹211 crore to the global tally.
Breaking Records Across India with Unmatched Scale
Domestically, Dhurandhar The Revenge has shattered every conceivable record. It registered the highest advance sales ever, the biggest paid previews, and the highest opening weekend in Indian box office history. The film also became the fastest to cross ₹300 crore domestically and recorded the highest number of tickets sold on a single Saturday. Notably, it achieved an unprecedented booking rate of over 109,000 tickets per hour on BookMyShow, signaling an unmatched surge in audience engagement.
Global Domination with Massive Overseas Reach
Internationally, the film has delivered equally historic results. It recorded the highest overseas opening weekend for any Indian film and achieved the biggest opening day in several territories, even without contributions from Gulf markets. Saturday marked the highest single-day collection ever for an Indian film overseas. With a release spanning 2,200 cinemas and 3,000 screens, it also became the widest overseas release for a Hindi film. The film’s reach extended to non-traditional markets such as Uruguay, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Romania, Chile, Mexico, and Cyprus, highlighting its global appeal.
A Franchise That Continues to Expand Its Legacy
Building on the success of its predecessor, Dhurandhar, which was already a global blockbuster, the sequel has elevated the franchise to unprecedented heights. The film has successfully capitalized on its brand recall while expanding its audience base across continents, making it a case study in franchise scalability and global positioning.
A New Benchmark for Indian Cinema on the World Stage
With ₹761 crore in just four days, Dhurandhar The Revenge has set a new benchmark that redefines what is possible for Indian films globally. The film’s performance reflects a shift in audience behavior, the power of franchise storytelling, and the growing influence of Indian cinema in international markets. What began as a storm has now transformed into a defining moment in box office history.
