There’s something interesting happening at the box office right now. Even after a full month in theatres, Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge just refuses to fade away. The film might not be roaring like it did in its first two weeks, but it’s still quietly collecting numbers — and that’s what’s keeping it in the conversation.
On its fifth Sunday, the Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge added around ₹5.20 crore, which is actually a decent jump from Saturday’s ₹4.65 crore. Not a massive spike, but enough to show that the audience hasn’t completely moved on yet. Especially when you consider that Bhooth Bangla has entered the scene with Akshay Kumar and is clearly eating into its screens.
The screen count has dropped too — now hovering around 3,900 shows — yet the film is managing to stay afloat. That tells you something. This isn’t just hype anymore, it’s momentum holding on.
The Numbers Tell a Slightly Different Story
If you just look at the headline numbers, things still look massive. The domestic total has crossed ₹1,100 crore net, making it the biggest Hindi film ever in India. That’s already a huge milestone, especially considering it beat its own predecessor’s ₹890 crore run.
But when you zoom in a little, the pace has clearly slowed.
Week after week, the drop has been sharp. From a huge opening week of ₹674 crore, it slipped to ₹263 crore in week two, then ₹110 crore in week three, and now week four closed at around ₹54 crore. That’s a steep decline, no matter how you look at it.
So yes, the film is still earning — but the fire isn’t as strong as before.
The Pushpa 2 Comparison Is Getting Tricky
Let’s talk about the big comparison everyone’s been making — Pushpa 2: The Rule.
For a while, it looked like Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge might actually pull off the impossible and beat Allu Arjun’s record-breaking film in India. But now? That gap still exists, and closing it is getting harder with each passing day.
The film still needs roughly ₹120 crore more to overtake Pushpa 2 domestically. And with collections slowing down this much, it’s starting to feel like a long shot. Not impossible — just unlikely unless something unexpected happens.
Worldwide Game Is a Bit Stronger
Globally though, the story shifts a bit.
The film has already crossed ₹1,750 crore worldwide, which is huge. In fact, it has edged past Pushpa 2 on the global stage and is now sitting among the top Indian grossers ever.
Only Baahubali 2: The Conclusion and Dangal are ahead now — and those are not easy targets. Realistically, catching them looks difficult, especially since overseas collections have slowed down even more than India.
Still, becoming one of the top three highest-grossing Indian films worldwide is no small achievement.
What’s Working (And What’s Not)
What’s clearly working is the film’s recall value. Ranveer Singh’s performance as Jaskirat Singh has stuck with audiences, and the franchise factor is doing its job. People who liked the first film are still showing up, even in week five.
But the drop in weekly collections shows fatigue. The sequel hasn’t been able to sustain the same upward trend that the first film surprisingly managed during its later weeks. Add to that new releases like Bhooth Bangla, and the pressure is visible.
The Bigger Picture Around Dhurandhar Franchise
One thing that shouldn’t be ignored here — this franchise has quietly become a giant.
With the first film doing around ₹1300 crore worldwide and the sequel already pushing past ₹1700 crore, the combined total crosses ₹3000 crore. That’s a massive benchmark for any Indian film series.
Produced by Jio Studios along with B62 Studios, and directed by Aditya Dhar, the film also brings back actors like Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, and Sara Arjun — which adds to its continuity appeal.
So Where Does It Stand Now?
Right now, Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge is in that interesting phase where it’s no longer dominating, but still not done. It’s holding, surviving, stretching its run.
Beating Pushpa 2: The Rule in India? Looks tough now.
Staying among the biggest Indian films ever? Already done.
And honestly, for a film in its fifth week — still pulling in crores — that itself says a lot.
