Ranveer Singh's ‘Dhurandhar’ creates history, beats Allu Arjun’s ‘Pushpa 2’ to become highest-grossing Hindi film ever

Hindi cinema has a new box office king. Dhurandhar, the Ranveer Singh-starrer spy thriller, has rewritten history by becoming the highest-grossing Hindi film of all time. With an extraordinary Rs 831 crore net domestic collection, the film has overtaken Pushpa 2: The Rise, marking a landmark moment for the industry and cementing its place among India’s biggest cinematic successes.

Breaking the Pushpa 2 Record

On Wednesday afternoon, Jio Studios unveiled a celebratory poster declaring Dhurandhar as “India’s highest grossing Hindi film.” Featuring Ranveer Singh in a commanding avatar, the poster thanked audiences with the message “Thank you India. Ganpati Bappa morya.” According to the makers, the film’s Hindi net collection stands at Rs 831 crore after 33 days in theatres.

Pushpa 2, which released in 2024, had earlier set a benchmark with its Hindi dubbed version earning Rs 821 crore. While trade sources suggest Dhurandhar is yet to cross that exact figure, the film has officially been positioned as the new record-holder by its production house.

Setting New Benchmarks

With this achievement, Dhurandhar has also become the highest-grossing Indian film in a single language. Earlier milestones were held by films such as Chhaava (Rs 601 crore), Jawan (Rs 586 crore), and other Rs 500-crore earners including Stree 2, Gadar 2, Pathaan, Animal, and Baahubali 2.
