Dhurandhar Creates History on Netflix, Tops Global Non-English Films Chart
Indian cinema has once again stamped its authority on the global OTT stage. Dhurandhar has emerged as the #1 Non-English Film worldwide on Netflix, delivering a thunderous debut that few films manage to achieve in their opening week.
A Record-Breaking Global Debut
According to Netflix’s Top 10 Non-English Movies (Global) list for the week January 26 – February 1, 2026, Dhurandhar debuted straight at the top with a massive 7.6 million views in just one week.
This achievement places Dhurandhar ahead of several established international titles, confirming its instant cross-border appeal and strong word-of-mouth traction.
Top 10 Global Non-English Films (Netflix – Weekly Overview)
- #1 – Dhurandhar: 7.6 million views (Week 1)
- #2 – The Big Fake: 6.6 million views
- #3 – Tere Ishk Mein: 4.4 million views
- #4 – 96 Minutes: 3.1 million views
Despite being a new entrant, Dhurandhar outperformed films that had already spent multiple weeks on the chart - a clear sign of extraordinary audience pull.
Indian OTT Content Goes Global
Dhurandhar’s success reinforces a growing trend: Indian films are no longer regional performers on Netflix - they are global contenders. With compelling storytelling and strong production values, Indian non-English films are drawing audiences from Europe, the Americas, and East Asia alike.
This performance further strengthens Netflix’s confidence in Indian originals and acquisitions, potentially opening doors for bigger budgets, wider releases, and faster global rollouts.
What’s Next for Dhurandhar?
With just one week counted so far, all eyes are now on:
- Whether Dhurandhar can retain the #1 position in Week 2
- How fast it can cross the 10–15 million views milestone
- Its potential entry into Netflix’s Most Popular Non-English Films (All-Time) conversation
If current momentum holds, Dhurandhar could be on track for a multi-week global run, placing it among Netflix’s biggest Indian OTT successes.
