Released on March 19, 2026, the Jio Studios production has posted a total Australian gross of AUD 6,368,455 a figure that places it comfortably above every Indian film that has ever competed in the market. Its nearest challenger is Dhurandhar, the 2025 first instalment of the same franchise, which had itself set a then-record of AUD 5,597,797. That the sequel has surpassed its predecessor by more than AUD 770,000 is a testament not only to the franchise's growing foothold in the diaspora market but to the particular enthusiasm with which Australian audiences among the most culturally diverse in the world have embraced Ranveer Singh's performance and Aditya Dhar's vision.
The scale of the achievement becomes even clearer when the full chart is examined. Animal, Sandeep Reddy Vanga's visceral 2023 action drama starring Ranbir Kapoor, had collected AUD 5,022,387 in Australia a number that was, at the time, considered a high-water mark for non-franchise Bollywood titles in the market. Dhurandhar The Revenge has surpassed it by over AUD 1.3 million. Pathaan, Shah Rukh Khan's record-shattering 2023 comeback film, sits fourth on the all-time Australian chart with AUD 4,720,711. Jawan, his follow-up later that same year, is fifth at AUD 4,678,779. Both of those films represented the apex of the SRK box office revival; Dhurandhar The Revenge has now placed itself more than AUD 1.6 million above either of them.
The breadth of competition on the all-time Australian chart underscores just how diverse and contested the market has become. Pushpa 2: The Rule, the Allu Arjun–fronted Telugu blockbuster that broke pan-India records in December 2024, sits sixth with AUD 4,483,063 meaning Dhurandhar The Revenge has outgrossed not only the biggest Bollywood releases of recent years but also the biggest pan-Indian ones. RRR and K.G.F: Chapter 2, the two landmark Telugu films of 2022 that redefined what Indian cinema could achieve internationally, sit seventh and eighth with AUD 3,606,267 and AUD 3,473,771 respectively. Padmaavat, Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 2018 epic starring Ranveer Singh himself, sits ninth with AUD 3,163,487 meaning Singh's own previous high-water mark in the market has now been almost exactly doubled by this film.
Australia's Indian diaspora, concentrated heavily in cities like Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, and Perth, has in recent years established itself as one of the most financially significant overseas markets for Indian cinema. The community's appetite for big-screen event films particularly those that carry the weight of patriotic themes, franchise loyalty, or major star power has grown consistently across the past decade. What Dhurandhar The Revenge has demonstrated is that when all three of those elements converge in a single film, the Australian market is capable of producing numbers that would have seemed extraordinary even five years ago.
For Jio Studios, the Australian record is one more data point in a global performance story that has redrawn the map of where Hindi cinema travels and how far it reaches. For Ranveer Singh, it adds a continent-specific chapter to what is becoming one of the most comprehensive international box office portfolios ever assembled by a Bollywood actor. And for the Australian market itself, a new benchmark has been set one that the industry will be measuring itself against for years to come.
