The overseas box office for Bollywood in 2026 has been a story of one massive outlier and a crowded middle tier. Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar 2 sits alone at the top, the only film to crack the Rs 100 crore mark internationally this year and, in fact, the only one to enter the Rs 400 crore club. Behind it, a cluster of mid-range performers is still jostling for position as the year progresses.
Here is how the top 10 stands as of late July 2026, based on trade estimates and distributor figures:
-
Dhurandhar 2 (Ranveer Singh): The undisputed leader, having crossed Rs 400 crore overseas. No other Bollywood film this year has come close.
-
Bhooth Bangla (Akshay Kumar): Wrapped its run at approximately Rs 80 crore, Akshay Kumar's first release of the year and a strong performer in traditional overseas markets.
-
Alpha (Alia Bhatt, Sharvari): Collected around Rs 65 crore. The film held screens for weeks and benefited from Alia Bhatt's growing pull in the UK and North America.
-
Cocktail 2 (Shahid Kapoor): Finished with an overseas lifetime of roughly Rs 72 crore, according to final trade estimates. It briefly held the third spot before slipping behind Alpha.
-
Welcome To The Jungle (Akshay Kumar): Settled at about Rs 50 crore after 25 days. The ensemble comedy performed well but did not break out beyond the diaspora.
-
O'Romeo (Shahid Kapoor): Estimated at Rs 30 crore. A mid-range success that gave Shahid Kapoor two entries in the top 10.
-
Dhamaal 4 (Ajay Devgn): Currently at approximately Rs 25 crore after 12 days. It is still running and could climb higher, but the pace has slowed.
-
through 10. The remaining slots are filled by smaller releases that have not crossed the Rs 20 crore mark, with titles shifting as newer films complete their runs.
What stands out is the gap between first place and everything else. Dhurandhar 2 is not just the top film; it is the only Bollywood film this year to behave like a genuine global event. The film's success was driven by a combination of Ranveer Singh's star power, a sequel hook that resonated internationally, and an aggressive distribution strategy that pushed it into non-traditional markets.
The other takeaway is the quiet consistency of Akshay Kumar and Shahid Kapoor. Both have placed two films in the top 10, proving that a steady stream of mid-budget, star-driven vehicles can still generate reliable overseas returns even in a year without a major holiday blockbuster.
Dhamaal 4 has a chance to climb to sixth place if it holds well into its third week, but overtaking O'Romeo will require a stronger second-weekend hold than it has shown so far. Alpha and Welcome To The Jungle look safe in their positions. The real battle for the rest of 2026 will be whether any upcoming release can break the Rs 100 crore barrier overseas and join Dhurandhar 2 in elite territory.
