After setting the box office on fire, Dhurandhar has once again rewritten the rulebook — this time on OTT. The Ranveer Singh starrer debuted on Netflix on January 30, 2026, and within just a week of its digital premiere, the film shattered multiple streaming records. The overwhelming response clearly proves that the film’s theatrical success was no fluke and that its appeal extends strongly into the digital space.
Despite already enjoying an extended and historic theatrical run, Ranveer Singh‘s Dhurandhar managed to pull massive numbers on Netflix, making it one of the rare Indian films to dominate both platforms simultaneously. The strong OTT performance has further boosted excitement for the sequel, Dhurandhar: The Revenge, which is slated for release next month.
Dhurandhar Rules Netflix’s Global Charts
As per the official data released by Netflix, Dhurandhar has claimed the number one spot on the streaming platform’s Global Top 10 Non-English Films list. According to viewership figures recorded between January 26 and February 1, 2026, the film amassed a staggering 7,600,000 views in its debut week. These views translated into an impressive 21,600,000 viewing hours, cementing the film’s position as one of the most-watched Indian releases on the platform.
This achievement places Dhurandhar comfortably ahead of some of the biggest Indian blockbusters of recent times. The numbers highlight not only the film’s popularity but also its strong repeat value, as viewers across the globe tuned in to witness its high-octane narrative.
Dhurandhar Beats Animal, Jawan And Pushpa 2
With its debut-week performance, Dhurandhar has surpassed the previous record held by Animal, starring Ranbir Kapoor, which had recorded 6,200,000 views in its first week on Netflix. Close behind are Jawan starring Shah Rukh Khan, with 6,000,000 views, and Fighter starring Hrithik Roshan, which registered 5,900,000 views.
Pushpa 2, led by Allu Arjun, follows closely with 5,800,000 views, reinforcing the competitive landscape of Indian OTT content. Yet, Dhurandhar has emerged as the clear leader, setting a new benchmark for debut-week viewership.

More About Dhurandhar And Its Powerful Narrative
Dhurandhar is a spy action thriller written, co-produced, and directed by Aditya Dhar. The film centres on Jaskirat Singh Rangi, a highly skilled operative recruited by IB chief Ajay Sanyal (R Madhavan) for the covert Project Dhurandhar. His mission takes him deep into Pakistan’s Karachi underworld, based in Lyari town, where he must become a gangster himself to gain trust and extract intelligence critical to India’s national security.
As the story unfolds, Jaskirat infiltrates criminal networks, navigates political power plays, and slowly establishes his dominance, culminating in a revenge-driven operation against an ISI mastermind. The film also hints at Jaskirat’s mysterious origins, elements that are expected to be explored in greater detail in the upcoming sequel.
The first instalment featured a strong ensemble cast, including Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, and Arjun Rampal. Young actor Sara Arjun also played a pivotal role, adding emotional depth to the story.
A Box Office Giant That Refuses To Slow Down
Beyond OTT success, Dhurandhar continues to shine at the box office. The film has collected Rs 894.10 crore nett in India, emerging as one of the highest-grossing Indian films ever made. What makes this achievement even more remarkable is the fact that the film is still running in theatres despite being available on Netflix, highlighting its immense audience pull and repeat viewership.

The expanded language release underlines the franchise’s growing national and international appeal.
