is exceeding expectations at the box office and setting new records in North America. Directed by Aditya Dhar, the sequel to the 2025 movie Dhurandhar stars actor Ranveer Singh as a covert operative in a story that has attracted controversy for combining real historical events with fictional elements.
Interestingly, the original cut was meant to be a single film but given the scale of the narrative and the amount of footage that was shot, it was split into two parts, a gambit that has helped the duology become a box office hit. Clocking in at 3 hours and 50 minutes, Dhurandhar: The Revenge released in theaters on March 19, which is just over three months after the first film came out on December 5, 2025.As of March 31, Dhurandhar: The Revenge has earned over $147 million worldwide, $22.6 million coming stateside and $124.8 million coming overseas, as reported by, which was previously held by the $20.2 million set by 2017’s Baahubali 2: The Conclusion.

In a March 6 report from, the film was only projected to earn somewhere between $2 million and $5 million in its opening weekend and then between $6 million and $15 million overall. Dhurandhar: The Revenge was coming out during the same week as Project Hail Mary and Ready or Not 2: Here I Come, so competition was expected to be high. But then in just a week, its projections leapt to a $6M to $10M opening weekend and a $12M to $25M overall run.in its launch. The film earned just over $10 million in its domestic opening weekend from 987 locations . Globally, it earned $56 million, an impressive result behind Project Hail Mary’s $141 million opener. Much of its success has been attributed to the first film having built a considerable fanbase and positive word-of-mouth.
