Indian cinema has celebrated a historic achievement as Dhurandhar officially surpassed the ₹1000 Crore mark at the domestic box office. This milestone places the film among an elite league previously reserved for only three cinematic giants: Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, KGF: Chapter 2, and Pushpa 2: The Rule. The accomplishment cements Dhurandhar as one of India’s most successful films ever.
What sets this record apart is that Dhurandhar achieved this feat entirely in a single language. While previous blockbusters relied on multi-language releases to reach the four-figure gross, Dhurandhar’s success comes from its primary-language impact, audience connection, and repeat viewership. The film demonstrates that a compelling story, executed on a grand scale, can achieve massive numbers without the need for multi-lingual versions.
Riding on this unprecedented momentum, the production has already started preparing for the sequel. Dhurandhar 2 is scheduled for a theatrical release on March 19, 2026. A recent 3-day patch shoot in Vile Parle, Mumbai, focused on enhancing high-intensity sequences to match the scale and emotional depth of the original. Arjun Rampal, reprising his role as the cerebral antagonist Major Iqbal, is said to deliver an even more intense performance in the upcoming chapter.
After its record-breaking theatrical run, Dhurandhar will debut on Netflix on January 30, 2026. This digital release is strategically planned to engage audiences ahead of the sequel, allowing fans to revisit the epic story before March’s big-screen continuation.
