Dhurandhar 2 Becomes UK’s No. 1 Indian Film, Overtakes Pathaan

Dhurandhar 2 has delivered a major overseas box office milestone by overtaking Pathaan to become the highest-grossing Indian film in the United Kingdom within just 34 days of release, marking one of the most competitive record breaks in recent trade history.

The Ranveer Singh-led action spectacle has reportedly collected around £4.388 million (₹55+ crore gross) in the UK, narrowly edging past Pathaan by a very slim margin of just a few thousand pounds , making the finish line one of the closest in recent overseas box office tracking. The film is still running in select theatres, which means its final UK total could rise further.

What has impressed trade analysts most is not just the opening but the film’s ability to sustain momentum deep into its run. Dhurandhar 2 has shown remarkably strong weekday holds and repeat audience turnout , especially across key UK diaspora circuits, allowing it to consistently outperform expectations even in its fifth week.

Industry observers also point out that the film has now established dual overseas dominance in both the UK and North America , strengthening its position as one of the most successful global Indian releases of recent times, with unusually stable performance across multiple international markets.

With this achievement, Dhurandhar 2 now leads the list of highest-grossing Indian films in the UK market, overtaking all previous benchmarks. Pathaan stands at approximately £4.380 million, followed by Jawan at around £4.10 million, RRR at about £3.90 million, and Kabir Singh at roughly £3.40 million, making the new record a significant reshaping of the overseas box office hierarchy.

Trade experts attribute the film’s success to its large-scale cinematic appeal, franchise strength, and sustained word-of-mouth growth , which helped it maintain strong audience interest well beyond the typical theatrical window.
