'Dhurandhar 2' Nears Milestone Among India’s Top 10 Grossers

Ranveer Singh-starrer Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge, directed by Aditya Dhar, has surged past a major box office milestone, nearing Rs 700 crore worldwide in just four days since its release on March 19, 2026. The high-octane spy action thriller, a sequel to the 2025 blockbuster Dhurandhar, has delivered exceptional collections, with estimates placing its global gross at around Rs 691 crore as of Day 4. This rapid ascent marks one of the fastest climbs for an Indian film, highlighting the film's massive appeal amid strong word-of-mouth and pan-India release in multiple languages.

The film's domestic performance has been particularly dominant, amassing over Rs 454 crore net (approximately Rs 542 crore gross) in India across its opening extended weekend. It achieved the rare feat of two consecutive days exceeding Rs 100 crore net—a first for Hindi cinema—fueled by packed shows and enthusiastic audience turnout. Overseas markets contributed significantly, with Rs 149 crore already added, including a historic No. 1 opening day position at the US box office, surpassing Hollywood releases and becoming the first Indian film to achieve that milestone.

This explosive start positions Dhurandhar 2 as a strong contender among India's all-time highest-grossing films, trailing only a few elite blockbusters in its early run. The original Dhurandhar amassed over Rs 1,300 crore lifetime, setting high expectations for the sequel, which appears on track to challenge or exceed that figure given its momentum. Industry trackers note that the film's success stems from its high-stakes narrative, intense action sequences, and Ranveer Singh's powerhouse performance as an undercover agent avenging past attacks while infiltrating criminal networks.

As Dhurandhar 2 continues its theatrical run, it joins an exclusive club of top earners in Indian cinema history. For context, India's all-time highest-grossing films (worldwide gross, approximate figures as of 2026) include Dangal (over Rs 2,000 crore), Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (around Rs 1,800 crore), Pushpa 2: The Rule (over Rs 1,700 crore), RRR (over Rs 1,200 crore), and others like Pathaan and Jawan. With its current trajectory, the film is poised to climb higher, potentially entering the top ranks if sustained collections hold amid positive reviews praising its spectacle despite mixed notes on pacing.

The milestone underscores the growing global clout of Indian cinema, with Dhurandhar 2 breaking barriers in international markets and reinforcing Bollywood's resurgence through big-budget, star-driven spectacles. As audiences flock to theatres, the film exemplifies how strategic storytelling and star power can drive unprecedented box office records in a competitive landscape.
