'Dhurandhar 2' Star Writing History: How Ranveer Singh became the first Indian actor to cross the Rs 3000 crore milestone post the pandemic

There’s no denying it anymore—Ranveer Singh is at the absolute peak of his powers. With a thunderous box office run backed by performances that have gripped audiences across the country, he has now achieved a historic feat, becoming the first Indian male star in the post-COVID era to cross the 3000 crore mark at the worldwide box office.

What makes this milestone even more remarkable is that it isn’t just about numbers—it’s about impact. Ranveer’s performances, especially in Dhurandhar and Dhurandhar 2, have been widely celebrated, with audiences and critics alike praising his commanding screen presence, emotional depth, and transformative portrayal of characters. From intensity to vulnerability, he has delivered a masterclass that has only strengthened his dominance.

The post covid journey began with 83, which grossed 184.36 crore worldwide, followed by Jayeshbhai Jordaar at 24.1 crore and Cirkus at 39.6 crore. While these films had varied box office outcomes, they showcased Ranveer’s willingness to experiment and push boundaries. He then delivered a major success with Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, which earned 348.89 crore globally.

However, it was Dhurandhar that changed the game entirely. The film emerged as a historic blockbuster, collecting a staggering 1354.84 crore worldwide and establishing Ranveer as a force to reckon with at the global box office. Riding on that momentum, Dhurandhar 2 has taken things to an entirely new level. In just its 8-day extended opening week, the film has already grossed 1088.2 crore, and is well on track to become the highest-grossing Indian film of all time.

With these six releases, Ranveer Singh’s total post-COVID box office collection now stands at 3039.99 crore worldwide. This monumental achievement places him firmly at the top, ahead of Shah Rukh Khan, who has accumulated 2704.07 crore, and Prabhas, who stands at 2393.29 crore in the same period.

More than just a numerical victory, this milestone reflects Ranveer Singh’s evolution into a pan-India phenomenon—an actor whose films unite audiences and whose performances drive both critical acclaim and box office success. With Dhurandhar 2 continuing its unprecedented run, the 4000 crore milestone no longer feels like a distant dream, but an inevitable next chapter in the reign of Indian cinema’s new emperor.
