The all-time highest-grossing Hindi film so far remains Dangal (2016), which rewrote box office history with a staggering worldwide collection estimated between ₹1,968 crore and ₹2,200 crore. Powered by strong domestic performance and unprecedented success in international markets, especially China, the Aamir Khan-starrer continues to sit comfortably at the top. (Image: IMDb)

Close behind are two modern blockbusters from 2023 – Jawan and Pathaan. Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan collected around ₹1,148.32 crore worldwide, setting new benchmarks for mass entertainers, while Pathaan followed with approximately ₹1,050.30 crore, playing a pivotal role in reviving post-pandemic theatrical confidence.

The list is further dominated by big-scale entertainers and emotionally driven narratives. Animal (2023) amassed about ₹917.82 crore globally, while Salman Khan’s Bajrangi Bhaijaan (2015) earned between ₹900.90 crore and ₹969.06 crore, winning hearts across age groups and borders. (Image: IMDb)

The horror-comedy sequel Stree 2 (2024) surprised the industry with an impressive ₹874.58 crore, proving the growing appetite for genre hybrids. (Image: IMDb)

International appeal has also been a crucial factor in several films entering this elite club. Secret Superstar (2017) collected between ₹858.43 crore and ₹966 crore worldwide, largely driven by its extraordinary performance overseas. (Image: IMDb)

Meanwhile, the historical epic Chhaava (2025) has already earned an estimated ₹797.34-809 crore, making it one of the biggest hits of the year. (Image: IMDb)

Rounding off the current top 10 are some of Hindi cinema’s most iconic blockbusters. Rajkumar Hirani’s PK (2014) earned between ₹750.60 crore and ₹769.89 crore globally, followed by the nostalgia-fuelled Gadar 2 (2023) with ₹691.08 crore, and Salman Khan’s sports drama Sultan (2016), which grossed approximately ₹615.71-623.33 crore worldwide.

This brings the spotlight to Dhurandhar (2025), which has so far collected around ₹594.5 crore worldwide. While it currently sits just outside the top 10, the gap between Dhurandhar and Sultan is not insurmountable. If the film sustains its box office momentum or benefits from strong overseas and extended-run earnings, it could well break into the coveted top 10 highest-grossing Hindi films list, making its journey one to watch closely in the coming weeks.
