New Delhi: The two-part film series Durandhar, starring Ranveer Singh, has crossed Rs 3,000 crore in worldwide box office collections, setting a new benchmark. According to the report, this is the first time an Indian film franchise has surpassed the figure.
The first instalment, released in December, became a major hit. The story revolves around an intelligence operative serving in the Indian Army, and the film reportedly earned Rs 1,307 crore globally.
The sequel, titled Durandhar: The Revenge, released worldwide last Thursday. While the first part touched upon Pakistan’s terror underworld, the second part is said to connect multiple themes with contemporary incidents, prompting viewers to reflect more directly.
With strong audience response and repeat viewings, the sequel’s collections have surged. The film is still running in theatres and has so far earned more than Rs 1,712 crore, taking the combined total to Rs 3,019 crore.
The report also noted that director S S Rajamouli’s Baahubali Parts 1 and 2 had earlier set a major record with a combined collection of Rs 2,438 crore.
