Ranveer Singh is not only breaking records but also establishing a unique legacy in the Indian film industry. With the release of Dhurandhar 2, Singh has achieved a remarkable milestone that even the most prominent figures in Bollywood, including the Khans, have not accomplished. The Dhurandhar franchise has become the only series in the history of Hindi cinema where every installment has been recognized as the Highest Grosser of the Year (HGOTY). This extraordinary achievement highlights the franchise’s unprecedented success at the box office.
Dhurandhar 2 has emerged as the highest-grossing film of 2026, amassing an impressive net collection of 1,175.73 crore in India. Its predecessor, Dhurandhar, also made waves by becoming the highest grosser of 2025 with a net collection of 894.49 crore. The ability of a franchise to maintain a 100% strike rate for the HGOTY title is a rare phenomenon in the film industry, making the success of Singh’s spy thriller a remarkable box office miracle.
While other franchises such as Dhoom, Tiger, and the recently released Stree 2 have claimed the title of the highest grosser of the year with individual installments, none have managed to achieve consistent success across all parts of the series. In fact, no other franchise in Hindi cinema has had more than one installment recognized as the highest grosser of the year, underscoring the unique position of the Dhurandhar series.
Moreover, the Dhurandhar franchise stands out as the only one with both its films featured in the top five highest-grossing films of Indian cinema, alongside notable titles like Pushpa 2, Baahubali 2, and KGF: Chapter 2. This accomplishment further cements the franchise’s status in the competitive landscape of Indian cinema.
As audiences eagerly anticipate the film’s continued performance at the box office, it remains to be seen what additional records Dhurandhar will break before concluding its theatrical run. The franchise’s remarkable journey has not only captivated viewers but also set a new benchmark for future cinematic endeavors in the industry.
