It’s been a thrilling week at the box office for Dhurandhar. A day after the film outpaced Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal at the Indian box office, Dhurandhar has now crossed a major milestone overseas — collecting Rs 190 crore and creeping closer to the coveted Rs 200 crore club internationally.
Overseas surge pushes Dhurandhar to Rs 190 crore
The film’s overseas run has been steady and strong, showing sustained interest across multiple markets. Crossing the Rs 190 crore mark outside India signals not only a wide appeal for Dhurandhar but also effective word-of-mouth and continued theatre hold. For a Hindi film to approach Rs 200 crore overseas is a notable achievement and highlights how global audiences are responding to this offering.
Which markets are contributing?
- North America: Consistent shows and long weekend holds have boosted collections in the US and Canada.
- Middle East and Gulf countries: Traditionally strong for Bollywood, these territories have been reliable contributors.
- UK, Australia and New Zealand: Good footfalls from the diaspora and local audiences have kept numbers healthy.
Domestic showdown: Dhurandhar vs. Animal
Just a day earlier, Dhurandhar managed to outshine Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal at the Indian box office — a result that surprised many and underscored the film’s mass appeal. While Animal brought star power and high expectations, Dhurandhar’s balance of content, promotions and audience connect worked in its favour in key regions.
Why this head-to-head matters
- Beating a big-ticket star vehicle in India gives Dhurandhar momentum and media attention.
- Stronger domestic performance often helps theatrical legs overseas as well, creating a virtuous cycle.
- Industry watchers will now closely track whether Dhurandhar can maintain both domestic and international stamina.
Can Dhurandhar cross Rs 200 crore overseas?
With Rs 190 crore already in the bag, Dhurandhar looks well positioned to clear the Rs 200 crore overseas mark in the coming days, provided it retains screens and audience interest. Weekend holds, festival windows in some territories, and limited competition will be key factors that could push it past the milestone.
What this means for the film industry
Dhurandhar’s overseas performance is another reminder that content-led films from Bollywood can find sizable audiences globally. Strong international collections not only boost a film’s profitability but also encourage distributors and exhibitors to back diverse projects with wider release plans.
Looking ahead
The next few weeks will show whether Dhurandhar can convert momentum into a historic overseas finish. For now, Rs 190 crore is a major marker — and the Rs 200 crore club looks within reach. Fans and trade analysts alike will be watching to see if the film seals the deal and how it shapes the box office narrative for the weeks to come.
