Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar franchise has made waves in Bollywood by crossing the ₹3000 crore mark globally, becoming only the second Indian film franchise to achieve this milestone. The first film, released in December, starred Ranveer Singh and earned ₹1308 crore worldwide, while the sequel, Dhurandhar: The Revenge, released in March, shattered records by surpassing ₹1720 crore globally. This rapid success has allowed the franchise to outpace established competitors like Baahubali and Pushpa, which had previously held the highest-grossing titles. The Yash Raj Films' Spy Universe, which has a combined gross of just over ₹3100 crore from six films, is now facing challenges, particularly after the underperformance of recent releases. The Dhurandhar films, featuring a talented ensemble cast including R Madhavan and Sanjay Dutt, have been praised for their music and thrilling narratives, solidifying their place in Indian cinema history.
