Why “Original Run” Matters?
Both Dangal and Baahubali 2 benefited from later-phase releases in non-regular international territories like China, Japan, and Korea, which significantly boosted their global totals. In contrast, Dhurandhar: The Revenge’s numbers reflect core audience demand from regular markets — North America, the Middle East, and India — making the comparison more reflective of genuine sustained popularity.
