Dharmendra Box Office Records:

Dharmendra, often celebrated as the “He-Man of Bollywood,” leaves behind a cinematic legacy that is nearly impossible to replicate. His stardom was not built on a handful of hits—it was built on decades of unmatched consistency, audience love, and a screen presence that defined Indian cinema for generations. Even today, his box office records stand tall, reminding fans and film historians why he was truly a mega star.

One of Dharmendra’s biggest achievements is the sheer number of successful films to his name. With approximately 125 successful movies (includes Semi Hits, Average, Hits, Super Hits, Blockbuster and All Time Blockbuster), he remains one of the most bankable actors in Indian film history. Out of these, an estimated 60–62 films were certified hits, a number that no actor across eras has come close to touching.

What makes his journey even more extraordinary is his performance in individual years. In 1987, Dharmendra delivered seven hits in a single year, a feat that highlights his massive popularity and the audience’s unwavering trust in him.

Footfalls (number of tickets sold), one of the truest measures of a star’s pull, also showcase Dharmendra’s unmatched power. He is estimated to have 98 films that crossed 1 crore footfalls and around 35 films that crossed 2 crore footfalls. These figures underline his appeal across cities, towns, and rural India.

And then comes the historic milestone—Sholay, India’s biggest hit ever, with over 15 crore footfalls, where Dharmendra’s iconic performance contributed significantly to the film’s legendary status.

In 1973, he also delivered the most films crossing 2.5 crore footfalls in a single year—another record unlikely to be broken.

Dharmendra’s box office brilliance remains eternal—a true symbol of an era that will forever shine in Indian cinema. As many have said already, he was a True MEGA STAR. A MASSIVE STAR of Bollywood in his prime. There will be no on like him.
