Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar to Release in Japan as Operation Dhurandhar
The global journey of Dhurandhar reflects the growing international influence of Indian cinema, as the film prepares for its Japan release under the title “Operation Dhurandhar” on July 10, 2026. Led by Ranveer Singh, the film has emerged as a massive commercial success, combining high-octane action, star power, and strong storytelling to captivate audiences worldwide.
Its initial release in December 2025 saw phenomenal box office numbers, crossing ₹1,307 crore globally, with India contributing over ₹1,000 crore gross and overseas markets adding nearly ₹300 crore. The film’s performance in North America was particularly remarkable, where it surpassed long-standing records held by blockbusters like Baahubali 2: The Conclusion.
The success story didn’t stop there, as the sequel released in March 2026 pushed the franchise’s total earnings to nearly ₹1,780.76 crore, with over ₹424 crore coming from international markets alone. This consistent global performance highlights the increasing demand for Indian films beyond traditional markets.
Japan, known for its appreciation of unique storytelling and larger-than-life cinema, has previously embraced Indian hits such as RRR and 3 Idiots, making it a promising market for Dhurandhar. Industry experts believe that the film’s release in Japan could further elevate its global stature while strengthening cultural and cinematic ties between the two countries.
With its strong box office track record, star-studded cast, and growing international appeal, Dhurandhar is positioned to continue its successful run on the global stage.
