After a dream run at the box office, Dhurandhar: The Revenge is finally showing its first signs of slowing down—but even that slowdown looks massive by industry standards. The Ranveer Singh starrer has stormed its way to nearly ₹1400 crore worldwide in just 12 days, firmly locking its position as one of the biggest Indian blockbusters ever.
First Dip Arrives, But Numbers Stay Strong
The film, directed by Aditya Dhar, opened to explosive numbers, pulling in around ₹240 crore globally on day one itself. It crossed ₹1000 crore within its first week—making it one of the fastest Indian films to do so, just behind Pushpa 2.
Even its second weekend looked unstoppable. The film collected over ₹170 crore net domestically during that period alone—more than what many films earn in their entire opening weekends.
By day 12, the film finally saw a noticeable dip, earning around ₹25 crore on its second Monday. Still, that takes its India total to approximately ₹872 crore net (₹1042 crore gross), placing it just behind giants like Baahubali 2 and Pushpa 2 in domestic rankings.
Overseas Run Breaks Records Without Gulf Release
If the domestic run is strong, the overseas performance is even more surprising.
Despite not releasing in Gulf countries—a major market for Indian films—Dhurandhar 2 has managed to rewrite records internationally. The film has collected around $38 million overseas, including a $7 million opening and a steady second weekend surge.
In a major milestone, it has become the highest-grossing Indian film in North America, surpassing the long-standing record held by Baahubali 2.
What makes this more impressive is the comparison. The film has already overtaken classics and global hits like Sholay, Bobby, and even Pushpa 2 in overseas earnings.
The ₹2000 Crore Race Begins
With a global total now touching ₹1392 crore, Dhurandhar: The Revenge is currently behind only three films in the all-time worldwide list—Dangal, Baahubali 2, and Pushpa 2.
The next phase is crucial.
The initial hype has done its job. Now the film needs strong weekday holds and sustained audience interest to climb further. If it manages that, the ₹2000 crore milestone isn’t just possible—it’s very much within reach.
A Franchise That Refuses To Slow Down
The sequel builds on the success of the first Dhurandhar, which itself crossed ₹1300 crore and continues to run in theatres months after release. With returning names like R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, Sara Arjun, and Rakesh Bedi, the franchise has created a strong recall among audiences.
What’s working in its favour is the mix—high-scale action, emotional storytelling, and a world that feels detailed enough to keep audiences invested.
Momentum Tested, Not Broken
Yes, the drop has begun—but it’s coming much later than usual.
And that’s the real headline.
Because when a film slows down after already touching ₹1400 crore in under two weeks, it’s not losing momentum—it’s just entering the next phase of its run.
