Get ready for a cinematic showdown that could rewrite Bollywood’s history books in 2025! Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar is just 5.2 crores away from claiming the top spot as the highest-grossing Bollywood film of the year at the overseas box office. But here’s where it gets thrilling: this spy action thriller isn’t just racing against numbers—it’s locked in a neck-and-neck battle with Saiyaara, a film that once seemed untouchable. And this is the part most people miss: Dhurandhar’s meteoric rise isn’t just about box office glory; it’s a testament to the global appeal of Bollywood’s evolving storytelling. Let’s dive into the details that make this story so captivating.
In just over two weeks, Dhurandhar has stormed past the 150 crore mark, proving that its blend of espionage and high-octane action resonates far beyond India’s borders. With an estimated overseas gross of 167 crores, the film is now on the cusp of hitting the 175 crore milestone. But here’s the controversial part: Can a film led by Ranveer Singh truly dethrone Saiyaara, which has held the crown with a lifetime gross of 172.20 crores? The answer lies in the film’s relentless momentum and its ability to captivate audiences across North America and other international markets. For instance, North America alone has contributed 5 crores to its overseas earnings, showcasing its universal appeal.
What makes this battle even more intriguing is Dhurandhar’s position among the top Indian grossers of 2025. Currently ranked third, it’s hot on the heels of Coolie, which leads with 180.50 crores.
