Dhurandhar vs Jawan Box Office Comparison: How have the two ₹1000-crore blockbusters performed in India and worldwide?

The Indian film industry has seen a massive shift in box office dynamics over the last few years, with Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan and Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar emerging as two of the biggest domestic and global earners. While Jawan set the benchmark for the biggest opening week in history, Dhurandhar displayed unprecedented theatrical endurance to climb the worldwide ladder.

In terms of initial impact, Jawan remains unrivaled. The Shah Rukh Khan starrer recorded an opening day of ₹75 Crore (India Net), which is significantly higher than Dhurandhar's ₹28 Crore start. This trend continued through the first week, where Jawan amassed a staggering ₹348 Crore, while Dhurandhar stood at ₹207 Crore. However, the second half of the journey saw Dhurandhar showing a superhuman hold. While Jawan was front-loaded, Dhurandhar functioned like a marathon runner, eventually crossing the ₹800 Crore mark in India Net collections.

Jawan Vs Dhurandhar: Head-to-Head Comparison

CATEGORY JAWAN (SRK) DHURANDHAR (RANVEER)
Opening Day (India Net) ₹ 75 Cr ₹ 28 Cr
Opening Weekend (India Net) ₹ 211 Cr ₹ 103 Cr
Opening Week (India Net) ₹ 348 Cr ₹ 207 Cr
India Net (Lifetime) ₹ 640.25 Cr ₹ 836.95 Cr
Overseas Collection ₹ 400 Cr ₹ 299 Cr
Worldwide Collection ₹ 1160 Cr ₹ 1303 Cr
Total Footfalls (India) 3.79 Crore 3.68 Crore
 

In the international market, Jawan remains the undisputed leader. It collected ₹400 Crore from overseas territories, significantly higher than Dhurandhar’s ₹299 Crore. TIt is important to note that Dhurandhar’s overseas total was significantly affected by theatrical bans in several Gulf countries due to its sensitive geopolitical themes. Trade estimates suggest that this ban resulted in a potential loss of approximately ₹90 Crore in theatrical revenue. Despite missing out on this lucrative market, the film's domestic resilience was so strong that its India Net (₹836.95 Cr) pushed its Worldwide Gross to ₹1303 Crore, eventually surpassing Jawan’s lifetime total.

Box Office Legacy: Jawan vs. Dhurandhar Milestones

  • 1. Jawan (The Opening Sprint): Trend Setter (Fastest Hindi film to net ₹300 Cr in 5 days and ₹500 Cr in 13 days)
  • 2. Shah Rukh Khan's 2023: Historic Feat (Only Indian actor to deliver two ₹1000 Crore films in a single calendar year)
  • 3. Dhurandhar (The Marathon): Longevity Record (Holds the all-time highest collections for weeks 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8)
  • 4. The Single Language Peak: All-Time Record (First film in history to cross ₹1,000 Crore in a single language — Hindi)

If the box office is measured by immediate impact and mass reach, Jawan is the winner with its record opening and higher footfalls. However, if it is measured by monetary efficiency and theatrical endurance, Dhurandhar takes the crown as the highest-grossing Hindi-origin film in the worldwide list.

Dhurandhar: Raw and Undekha Gets Streaming Release Date On Netflix And JioHotstar

BY SACNILK

Mumbai, May 21 - The first Dhurandhar is not done yet. After the record-breaking box office run and setting viewership records on Netflix, the extended and uncensored version of Aditya Dhar's directorial is set to stream on both Netflix and JioHotstar. On Thursday, both platforms announced that the Dhurandhar: Raw & Undekha version will start streaming on May 22 in Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil. The announcement quickly grabbed attention on social media, with fans expressing excitement over the alternate version. Many viewers had previously claimed that the earlier OTT release featured trimmed sequences and toned-down dialogues compared to the theatrical cut. The newly announced Raw & Undekha edition is expected to restore several of those moments while presenting the film in a grittier format. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Soon after the streaming date was revealed, confusion spread online as some users assumed the announcement was related to Dhurandhar: The Revenge. However, reports later clarified that the upcoming release is an alternate cut of the original Dhurandhar and not the sequel, which will begin streaming on JioHotstar on June 4, followed by Netflix on June 19. The film, headlined by Ranveer Singh, emerged as one of the biggest action entertainers of the year and performed exceptionally across theatrical markets. With the extended version now arriving on OTT, viewers who wanted a more uncensored experience are expected to revisit the film once again. The dual-platform release on Netflix and JioHotstar is also likely to boost the film's digital reach significantly.

Dhurandhar The Revenge OTT Views: Sequel hits 1.8M views and secures a top global spot for non-English films

BY SACNILK

The Dhurandhar franchise is currently witnessing a rare phenomenon on Netflix, where both the prequel and the newly released sequel are dominating global and regional charts simultaneously. While the sequel, Dhurandhar The Revenge (Raw & Undekha), is making waves across international markets, the original film continues to hold its ground in India with remarkable consistency. In its debut week between May 11 and May 17, 2026, Dhurandhar The Revenge has secured the number 5 spot on Netflix's Global Top 10 for Non-English movies. The film garnered 1.8 million views (18 lakh views) in its first weekend alone. Despite its massive runtime of 3 hours and 52 minutes, it clocked an impressive 6.8 million hours viewed (68 lakh hours), indicating high audience retention despite the length. What makes this global success particularly interesting is that the sequel is currently not streaming in India. Despite this, the film has managed to hit the number 1 spot in 9 different countries and featured in the Top 10 across 17 countries worldwide. The franchise's reach has expanded across continents, including significant traction in Europe, Africa, and Oceania.

Additionally, it trended in the Top 10 in Nigeria (Africa), Malta (Europe), Australia, and New Zealand (Oceania). This widespread appeal showcases the franchise's transition into a global action brand. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) While the sequel conquers the world, the prequel, Dhurandhar, is creating its own legacy in the Indian market. The original film has remarkably spent 16 weeks in the Top 10 in India, currently sitting at the number 5 position.

The prequel is also trending in the Top 10 in Bangladesh and Pakistan, making the franchise a dominant force across the entire South Asian subcontinent.

Pakistan: Sequel is ranked #1; Prequel is currently in the Top 10. UAE / Qatar: Sequel is ranked #1. The fact that both installments of the franchise are holding the number 5 spot simultaneously—one on the global chart and the other in India—highlights a very efficient viewership cycle. It suggests that while the sequel is successfully capturing the international market, the Indian audience remains consistently engaged with the original film and the character of Hamza.

Dhurandhar Heading To Japan! Can Ranveer Singh's 1,300 Cr Blockbuster Push The Franchise To Unimaginable Global Limits?

BY SACNILK

The global trajectory of Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar franchise is reaching a fever pitch. After a remarkable and record-shattering run at the global box office, it has been officially confirmed that the first part, Dhurandhar—which currently occupies the 5th spot on the all-time global charts with a lifetime collection of 1,307.35 crore—will release in Japan on July 10, 2026. While the second installment, Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge, has already cemented its status as the 3rd highest-grossing Indian film of all time with a worldwide total of 1,780.76 crore, this strategic move for the original chapter is designed to build a solid foundation in the territory, allowing the film to maximize its lifetime potential as it heads toward a massive new milestone. This development has sent the box office community into a frenzy as the franchise now holds two distinct spots in the top five highest-grossing Indian films of all time. Currently, Dhurandhar: The Revenge is on the verge of overtaking Baahubali 2: The Conclusion to officially claim the number two spot globally, a milestone it is expected to reach within a matter of days. Meanwhile, the first part of the saga occupies the 5th position with its current lifetime total of 1,307.35 crore. The upcoming Japan release for the first chapter opens a strategic window for it to climb even higher in the rankings. While Aamir Khan’s Dangal remains the ultimate target at the top with 2,070.30 crore, the massive potential of the Japanese market suggests that Dhurandhar could witness a significant late-career surge in its global journey.

While SS Rajamouli's films like Magadheera capitalized on the later Baahubali fever to prove that his brand is a bankable genre, Prabhas himself established a loyal following with Saaho, which held the record for the biggest opening day before RRR. Even sci-fi entries like Enthiran were specifically edited to be more fast-paced for the Japanese audience, focusing heavily on the action and Rajinikanth's iconic robotic mannerisms. This level of customization shows the effort producers put into capturing this unique market, and Dhurandhar is expected to receive similar localized attention. The Japanese market has a history of turning Indian blockbusters into legends. RRR remains the absolute benchmark, being the only Indian film to breach the ¥2 billion milestone. Its success proved that when the Japanese audience connects with the spectacle and emotion of an Indian film, the theatrical run can last for over 500 days. Even recent releases like Pushpa 2: The Rule have shown record-breaking speed, entering the all-time Top 10 in just 14 days. For the Dhurandhar franchise, the strategy is calculated: release Part 1 to introduce the characters and world-building, and then strike while the iron is hot to capitalize on the built-up hype. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The cultural appetite in Japan for larger-than-life Indian cinema has evolved significantly. From the Rajinikanth-mania sparked by Muthu in the 90s to the vocal screenings popularized by Baahubali 2, the audience there treats these films as a celebration. Content-driven successes like 3 Idiots and English Vinglish have also proven that emotional depth resonates just as much as high-octane action. Other notable films that have enjoyed cult status in Japan include: Bajrangi Bhaijaan (2015) Padman (2018) Dhoom 3 (2013) Rangasthalam (2018) KGF: Chapter 1 & 2 Secret Superstar (2017) Hindi Medium (2017) PK (2014) Om Shanti Om (2007) Ra.One (2011) The potential collection from Japan for the first part of Dhurandhar is set to be a strategic addition to its already storied global run. While the gap to the next tier of all-time blockbusters is substantial, the additional gross from this release allows Part 1 to effectively consolidate its individual lifetime total and maximize its reach in an elite market. More than just a chase for individual rankings, this international expansion serves to strengthen the collective weight of the entire franchise. By adding another layer of revenue to the first installment, the saga pushes its combined total to heights rarely seen in Indian cinema, further distancing itself from other major series. This tactical push ensures that the Ranveer Singh-Aditya Dhar collaboration continues to grow its global footprint, solidifying a legacy that stands as a benchmark for franchise-building in the modern era.

On its 41st day, the film recorded a net collection of 1.30 crore across 2,925 shows in India.

PVR led the contribution with 10,000 tickets sold at an occupancy of 11 percent, followed by INOX with 7000 tickets and Cinepolis with 3000 tickets.

The total international gross now stands at 424.75 crore. When combined with the domestic gross, the worldwide total has reached 1,780.76 crore. The film is now steadily inching toward the 1,800 crore global milestone. Given the current daily trajectory and the lack of significant competition in its niche, the film is expected to maintain its foothold throughout the remainder of the week, further solidifying its status as one of the most successful Indian films of all time.

Mumbai, April 8 - Director Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar has turned into a remarkable success story digitally, as the film has now crossed the 30 million views milestone on Netflix globally. After a historic theatrical run of over 1300 crores, the Ranveer Singh starrer has continued to attract audiences worldwide, proving the strength of its content and franchise appeal. Dhurandhar was originally released on December 5, 2025, and became a massive box office success. After creating history at the ticket window, the spy action thriller was made available on Netflix, after an 8-week theatrical run. It took the streamer by storm and shattered viewership records. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) A Strong Start Sets The Tone Dhurandhar opened to an impressive 7.6 million views in its first week, immediately grabbing the top spot on global charts. Interestingly, the film didn't slow down in its second week—instead, it grew further to 8.2 million views, indicating strong word-of-mouth and repeat value among viewers. This kind of upward trend in the second week is rare for streaming releases, especially after a huge box office run, and highlights the film's strong connect with audiences across markets.

Sequel Effect Sparks A Comeback The real twist in Dhurandhar's OTT journey came later. With the buzz surrounding Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge, the original film witnessed a surprising resurgence. In Week 8, when Dhurandhar 2 hit the big screens, viewership of the first film jumped to 2.3 million, followed by an even stronger 3 million in Week 9, and 1.8 million in the 10th week.
