Dhurandhar 2 Surpasses Baahubali 2 to Become Second Highest-Grossing Indian Film Worldwide

Dhurandhar: The Revenge, directed by Aditya Dhar and starring Ranveer Singh, has become the second highest-grossing Indian film worldwide, surpassing SS Rajamouli's Baahubali 2: The Conclusion with a global gross of Rs 1,788.35 crore after 46 days. The film earned Rs 1,362.60 crore domestically and Rs 425.75 crore overseas, marking a significant milestone for Bollywood. However, Aamir Khan's Dangal remains the top-grossing Indian film globally with Rs 2,070 crore, largely due to its success in China and Japan.
