With Dhurandhar, Ranveer Singh did not just deliver a blockbuster; he altered the power structure of Indian cinema across the box-office, OTT, and global markets. As Dhurandhar: The Revenge gears up for release, the numbers, the reception, and the sheer command he brings to the screen point to one undeniable truth: Ranveer Singh has entered undisputed territory. From record-breaking revenues to a transformative performance as Hamza, here are 7 reasons why Ranveer Singh now reigns supreme as Indian cinema’s new emperor.
1. From Milestone-Chaser to Milestone-Shatterer
Ranveer Singh is no longer running the race; he is redefining the finish line. And with Dhurandhar: The Revenge, he seems all poised to enter undisputed territory where records stop being chased and start being created.
2. A Box Office Beast Like No Other
Ranveer Singh stands alone as the only Indian actor to deliver three $10 million-plus films in North America, a staggering feat that underscores his global box-office pull. Back home, Dhurandhar stormed into the 1000 crore club, proving that this isn’t a one-market wonder but a pan-world phenomenon powered by pure star authority.
3. 245 Crore Before Release: Power Across Every Revenue Stream
Even before audiences step into theatres, Dhurandhar: The Revenge has already made history. The film’s 245 crore non-theatrical deal — spanning OTT, satellite, and digital rights — ranks among the biggest ever for an Indian film. The message is clear: Ranveer Singh isn’t just box-office gold, he is a bankable force across every platform.
4. Netflix Dominance and Cross-Border Stardom
The franchise’s reign extends far beyond cinema halls. Dhurandhar emerged as the most-watched Indian film on Netflix globally, topping charts in Pakistan and multiple Gulf nations — despite bans and restrictions in key territories. It’s a testament to Ranveer’s growing international appeal and his rare ability to transcend borders.
5. Hamza Returns — Darker, Colder, Deadlier
With the poster and teaser of The Revenge, Ranveer returns as Hamza — but this version is transformed. Gone is the reactive warrior; in his place stands a man shaped by conflict and vengeance. Quieter, sharper, and infinitely more lethal, this Hamza doesn’t respond to chaos — he commands it.
6. The Art of Controlled Power
What sets Ranveer apart here is restraint. His physicality is measured, his gaze unflinching, and his silence devastatingly effective. This isn’t a surface-level makeover but a psychological evolution. Known for disappearing into his roles, Ranveer once again displays chameleon-like mastery in Dhurandhar.
7. The New Emperor of Indian Cinema
The fan verdict is already in: GOAT. The scale in Dhurandhar: The Revenge is bigger, the stakes heavier, and Hamza more unstoppable than ever. Dhurandhar shattered records across the box office and OTT, and Dhurandhar: The Revenge looks poised to seal the legacy. And with it, Ranveer Singh ascends as Indian cinema’s undisputed new emperor.
