The Dhurandhar franchise has officially become the first Indian film series to cross the ₹3000 crore mark in worldwide box office collections, dethroning heavyweights like Baahubali and Pushpa. This landmark achievement cements the franchise’s status as the undisputed champion of Indian cinema’s global appeal.
Indian cinema has witnessed plenty of box office battles, but this one feels like a coronation. The Dhurandhar franchise has done what no Indian film series has managed before — it has breached the seemingly impossible ₹3000 crore barrier in cumulative worldwide collections, leaving behind legendary franchises that once seemed untouchable.
What Makes Dhurandhar’s Achievement So Significant?
The Dhurandhar franchise has surpassed both the Baahubali series and the Pushpa franchise in total worldwide earnings. For context, both Baahubali and Pushpa redefined what Indian films could achieve globally, yet Dhurandhar has now claimed the throne. This milestone represents not just commercial success but a shift in how audiences engage with Indian film franchises across multiple instalments.

The ₹3000 crore figure isn’t just a number — it’s a statement about the evolving appetite for homegrown content. The Dhurandhar franchise has built a loyal fanbase that shows up, film after film, in theatres across India and overseas markets. This kind of sustained momentum is rare in an industry where sequels often underperform their predecessors.
How Does Dhurandhar Compare to Other Major Franchises?
While Baahubali put Indian cinema on the global map and Pushpa brought raw, rustic storytelling to the masses, the Dhurandhar franchise has combined commercial sensibility with franchise-building prowess.
