London, United Kingdom — April 22, 2026

Dhurandhar 2 has achieved a major milestone at the international box office, overtaking Pathaan to become the highest-grossing Indian film in the United Kingdom.

The Ranveer Singh-led spy thriller has earned £4.388 million (approximately ₹55.55 crore) in the UK after 34 days of release. This narrowly surpasses Pathaan’s lifetime UK total of £4.380 million, marking a significant achievement for the film’s overseas performance.

Strong UK Performance Drives Record

The film’s consistent box office performance in the UK reflects sustained audience interest and strong word-of-mouth. Despite being in theaters for over a month, Dhurandhar 2 continues to draw viewers, contributing to its record-breaking run.

Beyond the UK, Dhurandhar 2 continues to dominate both domestic and global markets.

  • India Net Collection (35 days): ₹1120.40 crore
  • Worldwide Collection: ₹1761.88 crore+

With these figures, the film has now become the third highest-grossing Indian film worldwide, trailing only Dangal and Baahubali 2: The Conclusion.

In its record-breaking run, Dhurandhar 2 has overtaken several high-profile Indian films, including:

  • Pushpa 2: The Rule
  • KGF Chapter 2
  • Animal
  • Jawaan
  • Pathaan

The film’s performance underscores its widespread appeal and strong positioning in the global box office landscape.

Industry Impact
