Numbers on paper can sometimes lie by omission. Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar: The Revenge sits third on the all-time Bollywood overseas chart — but the real story is far more impressive once you read between the lines.
The film has grossed USD 43.36 million (approximately Rs. 407 crore) overseas and is expected to close its theatrical run around the USD 44 million mark, placing it third behind Jawan (USD 48.17 million) and Pathaan (USD 47.66 million).
But here’s the catch that changes everything.

Dhurandhar: The Revenge — A Missing USD 10–15 Million
Dhurandhar: The Revenge didn’t release in the Middle East, one of the biggest overseas markets for Hindi cinema. In a like-for-like comparison excluding the Middle East, Bangladesh, and Japan, Pathaan and Jawan fall to USD 33.22 million and USD 28.87 million respectively — roughly USD 10–15 million short of Dhurandhar.
Had the film released in the Middle East, estimates suggest it would have added another USD 10–15 million, pushing its total overseas gross to USD 55–60 million — well clear of both Pathaan and Jawan.
