Ranveer Singh's 'Dhurandhar: The Revenge' Becomes Third Highest Grossing Bollywood Film Ever

Mumbai. Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh's latest film, ‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge’, has achieved historic success at the box office, setting a new record. By the 11th day of its release, the film has become the third highest-grossing film in Bollywood history.

According to trade website Sacnilk, the film has collected Indian Rupees 846.87 crore in India alone, with its worldwide business reaching 1350 crore. On its second Sunday, March 29, the film earned 68.10 crore, following a business of 62.85 crore on Saturday.

This film is now very close to breaking the lifetime collection record of its predecessor, ‘Dhurandhar’, which stood at 1428 crore. Currently, Aamir Khan's ‘Dangal’ holds the top spot in the list of highest-grossing films in Bollywood, with ‘Dhurandhar’ in second place.

When all languages are included, this film has become the fifth highest-grossing film in India. It has surpassed the records of South Indian blockbusters ‘RRR’ and ‘KGF Chapter 2’, and is now chasing ‘Pushpa 2’ and ‘Baahubali 2’.

Interestingly, although Dangal is the highest-grossing film in Bollywood overall, the majority of its earnings came from foreign markets, as it earned only 511 crore in India. However, looking purely at domestic earnings in India, ‘Baahubali 2’ (1429 crore) is first, Allu Arjun's ‘Pushpa 2’ is second, and ‘Dhurandhar’ is third.

With this massive success, director Aditya Dhar has become the only director in Bollywood to have two films gross over 1000 crore. Previously, only S.S. Rajamouli had achieved this feat with ‘Baahubali’ and ‘Baahubali 2’.
