Aditya Dhar is the only Indian director to hold two spots in the list of the top 10 highest grossing films of Indian Cinema!

The Indian box office has a new Sultan, and he doesn’t go to Akhadas. Aditya Dhar has just pulled off the unthinkable, writing his name in the history books with a record that is beyond phenomenal. With the earth-shattering success of Dhurandhar 2, Aditya Dhar becomes the only Indian director to have two films in the top 5 highest-grossing films of Indian Cinema!

While legends like SS Rajamouli have historically dominated the charts for long, Dhar arrived like a hurricane, slashing records in the last six months with the two Dhurandhar films! Currently, he occupies the #2 spot with Dhurandhar 2 (1176.8 crore) and the #4 spot with Dhurandhar (894.49 crore) in the list of the highest-grossing films of Indian Cinema!

Aditya Dhar’s Box Office Streak

However, Aditya Dhar has single-handedly become the saving grace for Bollywood, which now claims 4 spots in the Top 10: Dhurandhar, Dhurandhar 2, Jawan, and Stree 2. However, the list is guarded by South Indian Pan-India spectacles, from Pushpa 2 to Kalki 2898 AD, claiming 6 spots in the top 10.
