Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar joined the list in 2025, followed by Dhurandhar: The Revenge in 2026. Check out the full list of Hindi movies making it to the ₹1,000-crore mark globally.

What Worked For The Film: The biggest advantage Baahubali 2 had was the enormous anticipation of the question: Why did Kattappa kill his beloved Baahubali? Audiences had spent two years waiting for answers, giving the sequel a built-in audience even before release.
S. S. Rajamouli then delivered on that anticipation with larger-scale, spectacular action set pieces and a straightforward emotional story of family, revenge, and redemption.
