Dhurandhar has officially carved out its space in the history books of Indian cinema by entering the list of the top 10 all-time highest overseas grossers. With an overseas haul of USD 24.18 million, the film now stands shoulder to shoulder with some of the most iconic and commercially successful Indian releases to have dominated international markets over the years.
At the very top of the overseas charts remain modern-day blockbusters like Pathaan and Jawan, which rewrote expectations for Indian films abroad with USD 47.88 million and USD 46.57 million respectively. These two titles set a new benchmark for scale and reach in international territories. Below them sit films such as Dhoom 3 at USD 31.1 million and Animal at USD 30.7 million, both of which benefitted from massive openings and strong diaspora-driven support across key global markets.
What makes Dhurandhar’s presence on this list particularly significant is the company it keeps. The film has edged close to classics and long-standing overseas favourites such as Padmaavat at USD 29 million, Bajrangi Bhaijaan at USD 28.9 million excluding China, and Sultan at USD 25.99 million excluding China. It has also moved past widely beloved titles like Dilwale and 3 Idiots, both of which had enjoyed extended international runs and long-term recall value.
In doing so, Dhurandhar has achieved something few contemporary releases manage sustained overseas momentum rather than a purely front-loaded run. Its USD 24.18 million total reflects steady collections across North America, the UK, Australia and Europe, driven by repeat viewership and strong word-of-mouth rather than just opening-week hype. This consistency has allowed the film to climb the overseas charts rapidly and cement its status as a global crowd-puller.
The broader implication of Dhurandhar’s overseas performance is the evolving appetite for large-scale Indian entertainers in international markets. While earlier overseas successes were often limited to star-driven spectacles or event films, Dhurandhar has demonstrated that strong content combined with scale can travel just as effectively beyond Indian borders.
With its overseas run still showing stability and several markets yet to fully wind down, Dhurandhar remains within touching distance of climbing even higher on this prestigious list. For now, its entry into the all-time top 10 overseas grossers stands as a clear indicator of its worldwide appeal and its place among the modern greats of Indian box office history.
