Dhurandhar, starring Ranveer Singh, has yet again achieved something remarkable. Not long after making history at the box office, the Aditya Dhar directorial has got international acclaim from Ted Sarandos, Co-CEO of Netflix, who said that the film is the most-watched non-English film this year. Talking about the increasing trend of Indian content around the globe, Ted said that India has already arrived and Dhurandhar is setting an example.

Speaking at Express Adda, Ted Sarandos shared how strongly the film performed on the platform. “Dhurandhar was the most-watched non-English movie in the world this year. Bigger than every other English [movie] and second only to the US and the UK in terms of watching,” he said.

Ted Sarandos also answered a question raised whenever one talks about Indian entertainment on the international stage—that is, when would India get its very own Squid Game or Money Heist?

Ted brought to light the increasing international demand for Indian movies and TV series on the streaming service, stating that Indian content has been among the top-rated globally on the platform. He said that there has been an Indian movie or TV series in the top 10 globally for each week since 2024. He ttributed this success to Netflix's recommendation algorithm, which helps viewers discover content they will enjoy. He therefore announced that 3.5 billion hours of Indian content have been watched this year by the audience globally.
