Three weeks in, and Dhurandhar: The Revenge still isn’t ready to slow down. In a major milestone moment, Aditya Dhar’s spy thriller has now overtaken Baahubali 2: The Conclusion in India collections, officially becoming the second-highest grossing Indian film ever — and it doesn’t look like stopping anytime soon.
The film added around ₹10.10 crore on Day 20, a slight weekday dip but still strong enough to push it past Baahubali 2’s lifetime India total. With this, Dhurandhar 2 now stands at approximately ₹1,033.37 crore net in India, while its gross domestic figure has crossed ₹1,237 crore.
What makes this run even more impressive is consistency. Most big films see a sharp fall by the third week, but Dhurandhar 2 is holding steady — a sign that audience demand is still very much alive, not just hype-driven.
Now, all eyes are on the next big target: Pushpa 2: The Rise. The Allu Arjun starrer currently holds the top spot, and Dhurandhar 2 is just within striking distance. If the current momentum continues over the next few days, Bollywood could soon have its biggest film of all time.
To understand the scale, the film has already surged past heavyweights like KGF: Chapter 2, RRR, and Kalki 2898 AD — all of which were considered box office giants not long ago. This isn’t just a hit anymore; it’s a full-blown industry shift moment.
Beyond numbers, the film’s impact is being amplified by strong word-of-mouth and celebrity reactions. Big names across industries have come out in support. Filmmakers like SS Rajamouli, Allu Arjun, and Ram Gopal Varma have praised the film, while actors like Alia Bhatt and Anupam Kher have also joined the chorus.
One of the most talked-about reactions came from Virat Kohli, who shared a detailed Instagram story after watching the film. He called it a once-in-a-lifetime cinematic experience and singled out Ranveer Singh’s performance, saying the actor has reached “a different level” with this role.
That performance is clearly at the center of the film’s success. Ranveer’s portrayal of Jaskirat Singh Rangi — a deeper, more layered version of Hamza — has struck a chord with audiences. Unlike the first film, which focused heavily on mission-driven storytelling, the sequel leans more into character evolution, blending emotional depth with large-scale action.
The story tracks Hamza’s rise within Lyari’s power structure while continuing his mission against a terror network targeting India. That mix of personal backstory and geopolitical tension gives the sequel a broader appeal — something that’s clearly translating into repeat viewings.
Directed by Aditya Dhar, the film builds on the foundation of the 2025 blockbuster Dhurandhar, but expands it into a much larger cinematic universe. With a cast that includes R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, and Rakesh Bedi, the film manages to balance scale with strong performances across the board.
Right now, Dhurandhar: The Revenge isn’t just breaking records — it’s rewriting what a Bollywood blockbuster can achieve. And if the current pace holds, the next headline might not be about beating Baahubali 2, but about becoming India’s biggest film ever.
