Dhurandhar’s record-breaking run just earned a major industry stamp of approval. On Wednesday, Yash Raj Films publicly congratulated the team behind the Ranveer Singh-led spy thriller after it officially emerged as the highest-grossing Indian film of all time in a single language, overtaking Pushpa 2’s Hindi record.
YRF’s Big Praise for Aditya Dhar and Team
Taking to its official Instagram handle, Aditya Chopra’s banner shared a heartfelt note celebrating Dhurandhar as more than just a blockbuster. The post described the film as a milestone moment for Indian cinema, applauding director Aditya Dhar for his vision and execution.
YRF highlighted Dhar’s clarity, bold storytelling, and commitment to scale, crediting him for setting a new benchmark. The production house also praised the cast and crew, calling them the real “Dhurandhars” who turned the idea into a thunderous big-screen spectacle.
Ranveer Singh’s Emotional Reaction
Ranveer Singh, who headlines the film, responded to YRF’s message in the comments with a deeply personal note. Referring to YRF as his “alma mater,” the actor said his only aim was to make them proud — a line that quickly struck a chord with fans, given his long association with the banner.
Records Keep Falling
The celebration comes amid an extraordinary run at the box office. Last week, Dhurandhar also crossed $17.50 million in North America, edging past Pathaan to become the highest-grossing Bollywood film in the region.
Back home, the makers confirmed that the film has crossed ₹821 crore in the Hindi language alone, surpassing Pushpa 2’s Hindi numbers. While Pushpa 2 earned more overall through multiple language versions, Dhurandhar now holds the crown for single-language Indian cinema.
As of now, the film has collected over ₹781.75 crore nett in India and has crossed ₹1200 crore worldwide, cementing its status as a full-blown global blockbuster.
Inside the World of Dhurandhar
Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar is the first chapter in a two-part spy saga. Ranveer Singh plays Hamza, an Indian intelligence operative who infiltrates Pakistan’s criminal and political underworld in Lyari as part of a covert anti-terror mission.
The film stands out for weaving real geopolitical events — including the IC-814 hijacking, the 2001 Parliament attack, and the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks — into its narrative. The ensemble cast includes Sara Arjun, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, and Rakesh Bedi.
Released on December 5, 2025, the sequel is already locked for a March release, with expectations sky-high after the first film’s unprecedented success.
Final Words
With industry giants like YRF tipping their hat and box office records tumbling week after week, Dhurandhar has clearly crossed from blockbuster territory into history books. For Ranveer Singh and Aditya Dhar, this isn’t just a win — it’s a defining moment.
