In March, Dhurandhar: The Revenge was by far the highest-grossing movie.
Bollywood got off to a great start in 2026, as seen by the dramatic increase in its share of the Indian box office in March, which was mostly due to the phenomenal success of Dhurandhar: The Revenge.
According to research by Ormax Media, the box office share of Hindi films increased dramatically to 56 percent in March from its previous post-pandemic peak of 44 percent in 2023. Additionally, this is a significant increase from the 39 percent share noted in the first two months of 2026.
Dhurandhar: The Revenge is at the center of it all. The movie has made an estimated Rs 1,158 crore at the domestic box office and Rs 1,790 crore worldwide thus far. It will end its 37-day run in theaters on April 24. It was the main factor behind the rise in Hindi film, accounting for more than 75% of the overall box office receipts in March.
There are no indications that the momentum will slow down. As it enters its fifth week in theaters, the movie is predicted to soon surpass the Rs 1,800-crore milestone worldwide. If it reaches this milestone, it would become a member of a select group that now only consists of Dangal, which made Rs 2,059 crore globally and might even beat Baahubali 2.
Dhurandhar 2 is far ahead of the competition and was the highest-grossing film of March. Its earnings are three times more than those of its closest rival for 2026, Border 2 (Rs 378 crore).
