Dhurandhar 2 box office storm: Ranveer Singh film crosses ₹900 crore, eyes ₹1000 crore mark
Mumbai witnessed a massive box office surge this week. Ranveer Singh’s latest film Dhurandhar 2 continued its dream run and crossed ₹900 crore worldwide within just six days. The film not only sustained momentum after a record opening but also outperformed several recent blockbusters.
Strong Start Sets the Tone
First, the film created buzz even before release. It premiered with paid previews on Wednesday and hit theatres on Thursday. As a result, it opened with massive numbers. It collected ₹145 crore net in India and ₹240 crore globally on day one.
Then, it maintained pace through the extended weekend. By Sunday, the film had already amassed around ₹750 crore worldwide. This strong start gave it a solid base for the weekdays.
Weekdays Show Rare Stability
Usually, collections drop sharply after the weekend. However, Dhurandhar 2 broke that pattern. It added nearly ₹100 crore on Monday, which signalled strong audience interest.
Next, Tuesday brought another boost. The film earned about ₹56 crore net in India on its sixth day. Consequently, its domestic total reached around ₹575 crore net and ₹687 crore gross.
At this pace, the film moved quickly towards the ₹600 crore mark in India. Trade analysts expect it to cross ₹700 crore domestically within days.
Overseas Market Adds Firepower
Meanwhile, international markets also supported the film’s run. It opened with a strong $7 million overseas. Over the first weekend, collections crossed $22 million.
Although weekday numbers dipped slightly, the film held steady. On Tuesday alone, it added another $2 million. Therefore, its overseas total reached $27 million, which equals roughly ₹250 crore.
This consistent global performance pushed the film’s worldwide earnings to ₹937 crore. In dollar terms, it touched the $100 million milestone, a rare feat for a Hindi film.
Beats Major Blockbusters
As collections surged, Dhurandhar 2 crossed several big benchmarks. It overtook the lifetime earnings of Animal, starring Ranbir Kapoor.
It also surpassed Bajrangi Bhaijaan, featuring Salman Khan, and Secret Superstar, backed by Aamir Khan.
Now, the film targets bigger milestones. It aims to challenge Pathaan starring Shah Rukh Khan and Kalki 2898 AD led by Prabhas, both of which hover near ₹1050 crore globally.
Direction and Star Power Drive Success
Director Aditya Dhar has played a key role in shaping the film’s success. He delivered a fast-paced spy thriller that connected with audiences.
Alongside Ranveer Singh, the film features a strong ensemble cast. This includes R Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, and others. Their performances added depth and widened appeal.
Ground Angle: Packed Theatres and Repeat Viewings
On the ground, the response remains energetic. Multiplexes in major cities report packed shows even on weekdays. Advance bookings continue to stay strong.
In smaller towns too, audiences show steady interest. Many viewers return for repeat screenings, especially for action sequences and performances. Cinema owners have increased show counts to meet demand.
At the same time, social media buzz has amplified footfall. Fans continue to share reactions, which keeps the film trending daily.
Background: A Sequel That Raised Expectations
The success also builds on the legacy of the first film, Dhurandhar. That film had earned around ₹1300 crore globally and stayed in theatres for months.
Therefore, expectations from the sequel remained extremely high. Initially, trade experts doubted whether it could match the original’s long run. However, Dhurandhar 2 has surprised the industry with its pace.
Race Towards ₹1000 Crore
Finally, the film now stands close to a major milestone. It needs just a small push to cross ₹1000 crore globally. Given its current trend, it may achieve this mark within a week.
If momentum continues, Dhurandhar 2 could emerge as one of the highest-grossing Hindi films ever. For now, it continues to dominate the box office and set new benchmarks with each passing day.
