With Dhurandhar 2, Ranveer Singh is being positioned at the centre of a sweeping global takeover, one that now extends decisively into the United Kingdom. The film’s reported £4.388 million total, edging over Pathaan (£4.380 million), as it overtakes the Shah Rukh Khan starrer to become the highest grossing film of all time in the market while still being in theatres, powered by Ranveer Singh’s Hamza and Jaskirat storm.
This marks a symbolic and strategic shift in one of Hindi cinema’s most legacy-driven overseas markets. For over two decades, the UK box office has largely remained a stronghold for the Khans. This transition, therefore, isn’t just about a record, it signals a reordering of hierarchy where Ranveer turns out to be the new emperor of the box office, even with International markets after setting records – first Ranveer became 1000 crores Hindi nett club founder, marching past Allu Arjun’s Pushpa, and breaking more than two dozen more records with his performance that has been the greatest of all time by itself, and mass pull.
What amplifies this moment is the scale of Ranveer’s footprint across territories. From dominating North America to commanding strongholds in Australia, even Germany despite a Gulf ban, and leading from the front domestically, this is being framed as a all cornered box office reign. At home, he is positioned as the founder of the ₹1000 crore Hindi nett club—a benchmark that doesn’t just elevate him above contemporaries, but redraws the limits of what a Hindi film can achieve within India.
This phase also carries the weight of narrative, of resurgence. After a period of recalibration, Ranveer’s comeback is being defined not by incremental success, but by outright dominance across markets. The consistency of performance, scale of reach, and ownership of outcomes collectively build a case that is difficult to parallel.
In this telling, Ranveer Singh is not just leading his generation, he is operating in a league that remains unmatched in contemporary Indian cinema. Reports had weeks back suggested that Dhurandhar 2 achieved a remarkable feat by raking in phenomenal collections in international markets; specifically, in the United Kingdom, the film has shattered the records previously held by six blockbuster movies.
