Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar continues to create history, this time on OTT. After becoming the biggest Bollywood success at the box office, the spy thriller has now achieved an equally massive milestone on Netflix.
The film has officially become the most watched Indian film on Netflix with 22 million views. This makes Dhurandhar one of the rare films that dominated both theatres and streaming platforms. It proves that the film’s popularity did not slow down even after its theatrical run.
Dhurandhar has also entered a very exclusive club on Netflix India. Only five Indian films have managed to stay in the Global Top 10 list for five weeks. Ranveer Singh’s film is now the fifth movie to achieve this milestone. On the Hindi side, only Jigra and Laapataa Ladies have managed this run before. From the South, Maharaja and Lucky Baskhar are the other two films that reached this mark.
The film had a strong start on Netflix. In its first week it recorded 7.6 million views and ranked number one globally. The second week was even bigger with 8.2 million views and again the number one rank. The film continued to remain in the Global Top 10 for the next three weeks.
In total, Dhurandhar has recorded 70.7 million viewing hours across five weeks on Netflix.
What makes this achievement even more exciting is the timing. The trailer of Dhurandhar 2 released today and is already receiving a very positive response from fans online. With the sequel creating strong buzz, the viewership of the first film could increase even more in the coming days.
