Dhurandhar has emerged as one of the biggest box-office phenomena of 2025, delivering a historic overseas performance and redefining the global reach of Indian cinema. In just 17 days, the film has not only dominated the Indian market but has also scripted an unprecedented overseas success across major international territories.
What makes Dhurandhar’s run truly remarkable is the scale and consistency of its overseas earnings. The film has collected an astounding ₹186.90 crore (approximately $20.90 million) from international markets, officially becoming the highest-grossing Indian film overseas in 2025 across all languages. This milestone is even more significant considering the film has achieved this feat without a release in the Gulf markets, which traditionally contribute heavily to overseas collections for Indian films.
Overseas Markets Drive Historic Numbers
North America has emerged as the strongest overseas territory for Dhurandhar. The film has earned $11.25 million, which translates to approximately ₹93.40 crore, making it the highest-grossing Indian film of the year in the region. This performance places Dhurandhar firmly at the top of the overseas box-office chart in the United States and Canada.
Australia has also delivered exceptional results. With a collection of A$3.76 million, the film has earned nearly ₹20.70 crore, positioning it as the highest-grossing Indian release of 2025 in the Australian market. Meanwhile, the United Kingdom has contributed £1.98 million, equivalent to around ₹20.80 crore, marking a major milestone and underlining the film’s strong acceptance among British audiences.
Together, these territories have pushed Dhurandhar far ahead of its contemporaries, establishing it as the most successful Indian film overseas this year.
Strong Domestic Performance Fuels Global Success
On the domestic front, Dhurandhar has posted equally impressive numbers. The film has amassed a total India gross of ₹683.46 crore, reflecting sustained footfalls across multiplexes and single screens alike. The strong domestic performance has played a crucial role in driving the film’s worldwide total to extraordinary heights.
Combining its India and overseas collections, Dhurandhar has achieved a staggering worldwide gross of ₹870.36 crore, which is approximately $97 million USD. These figures place the film among the biggest global successes in the history of Indian cinema.
Redefining Overseas Potential for Indian Films
What sets Dhurandhar apart is not just the numbers, but the manner in which those numbers have been achieved. The film’s global success has been driven largely by audience response and powerful word-of-mouth, rather than aggressive promotional tactics or inflated release strategies. This organic growth has helped the film sustain momentum across markets week after week.
The absence of Gulf revenues further highlights the scale of its achievement. Despite missing a traditionally strong overseas belt, Dhurandhar has managed to outperform every other Indian release of the year internationally, proving that content-driven cinema can transcend conventional market dependencies.
A Defining Moment for Indian Cinema
Produced by Jio Studios and B62 Studios and directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar stands as a defining moment for Indian cinema on the global stage. The film has not only broken multiple box-office records but has also expanded the perceived ceiling of overseas potential for Indian films across languages and genres.
With its historic run still being discussed across trade circles, Dhurandhar has set a new benchmark for worldwide success—demonstrating that Indian cinema, when powered by strong storytelling and audience trust, can compete at the highest international level.
