Dhurandhar 2: The Record-Breaking Spy Thriller Dominating Australia and New Zealand!
Dhurandhar 2's Unprecedented Success
Ranveer Singh's latest film, Dhurandhar 2, is on an extraordinary path to success. After setting multiple records in North America and the UK, this thrilling spy drama has now turned its attention to the southern hemisphere, achieving remarkable results. As of April 23, 2026, it has officially become the highest-grossing Indian film in both Australia and New Zealand. With its theatrical run still ongoing, these numbers are likely to increase even more in the near future.
Dhurandhar 2 Breaks Records in New Zealand
Despite New Zealand being a smaller market, Dhurandhar 2 has made a notable impact there. Directed by Aditya Dhar, the film has amassed NZ$ 1.295 million as of April 23, 2026, surpassing the previous record held by Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan, which earned around NZ$ 952,000. Not only has it outperformed Pathaan's lifetime earnings, but Dhurandhar 2 is also the first Indian film to cross the NZ$ 1 million mark in New Zealand. This achievement is particularly impressive as the film continues to screen in local cinemas.
Top Grossing Hindi Film in Australia
Australia has long been a lucrative market for Bollywood films, and Dhurandhar 2 has rewritten its record books. As of April 23, 2026, the film has generated A$ 8.255 million, significantly surpassing the first Dhurandhar film, which previously held the record with A$ 5.598 million, marking an impressive increase of nearly 47 percent. In its wider international release, Dhurandhar The Revenge had already claimed the title of the highest-grossing Indian film in the UK before extending its success to Australia and New Zealand. The film is now firmly establishing its presence in the Oceania region.
On a global scale, Dhurandhar 2 ranks as the third-highest-grossing Indian film ever, following Baahubali 2 and Dangal. According to the latest figures from Jio Studios, the spy thriller is just Rs 5 crore away from overtaking Baahubali 2 at the worldwide box office. Its global total after 32 days stands at Rs 1783 crore, while Baahubali 2's lifetime total is Rs 1788 crore. It seems highly likely that Dhurandhar 2 will surpass the film directed by Prabhas and SS Rajamouli.
In India, this ensemble cast film has already achieved the status of the highest-grossing Hindi film ever, with earnings of Rs 1153 crore. It is also the first Hindi film to surpass the Rs 1000 crore and Rs 1100 crore net milestones in the country.
