The uncut sequel of the blockbuster 'RRR' has climbed to the top of Netflix's all‑time global rankings, surpassing the earlier release 'Dhurandhar'.
The uncut sequel of the 2022 hit film "RRR" has surged to the number one spot on Netflix’s all‑time global rankings as of early July 2026. The move follows a steady rise in viewership after the platform released the extended cut, which adds 30 minutes of additional footage to the original 3‑hour runtime.
Netflix’s data shows the sequel has attracted over 15 million viewers worldwide in its first month, eclipsing the viewership of the earlier film "Dhurandhar" which peaked at 9 million. Analysts say the extended content, featuring deeper character arcs and new action sequences, has resonated with international audiences.
The ranking shift also reflects Netflix’s growing strategy to promote Indian cinema on its global catalog, positioning Indian blockbusters alongside Hollywood titles. Industry observers note that the success of the "RRR" sequel could influence future releases of Indian films on streaming platforms.
While the exact revenue generated from the streaming rights remains undisclosed, the platform’s top‑ranked status is expected to boost its subscriber numbers in key markets such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Middle East.
