The Ranveer Singh starrer Dhurandhar has taken the streaming world by storm, officially claiming the No. 1 spot on Netflix India and ranking among the platform’s top global non-English titles just weeks after its digital premiere. According to Netflix’s latest weekly Top 10 report (covering February 24 – March 2, 2026), Dhurandhar amassed 22.1 million views in its first full week on the platform, surpassing all other Indian and international titles in the country. In just 11 days on Netflix (premiered February 20, 2026), it has crossed 35 million total views globally, with India contributing the lion’s share.

Why Dhurandhar Continues to Dominate
Industry observers attribute the film’s sustained success on Netflix to several factors:
- Mass Appeal: Ranveer’s never-before-seen intensity, combined with the film’s larger-than-life action and emotional core, makes it highly rewatchable.
- Word-of-Mouth: Social media clips of key dialogues, action scenes, and emotional moments have gone mega-viral, driving organic discovery.
- Family Viewing: Despite its violent tone, the film’s strong patriotic and family themes have made it a safe watch for multi-generational households.
- No Major Competition: Unlike theatrical clashes, Netflix had a relatively clear runway in late February – early March.
Ranveer Singh reacted to the milestone on Instagram Stories:“22 million hearts in one week… this love is unreal. Thank you India, thank you world. Dhurandhar is just getting started. Revenge is coming ”Director Aditya Dhar added:“From theatres to homes—this journey has been surreal. Thank you for embracing Dhurandhar with so much passion.” With the sequel already in post-production and eyeing a March 19, 2026 theatrical release (now postponed to June 4, 2026 due to Middle East tensions), Netflix’s massive viewership has further solidified Dhurandhar as one of the biggest Indian cross-platform successes of recent years. From box-office juggernaut to streaming phenomenon—the Dhurandhar wave shows no signs of slowing down.
