Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge, directed by Aditya Dhar, has opened to a massive response at the box office, earning over ₹100 crore on its first day of release. The action thriller registered strong collections across markets, driven largely by the Hindi belt and an extensive nationwide release. Early estimates from trade trackers indicate that the film’s opening reflects both high anticipation and strong audience turnout.
According to industry data, the film collected approximately ₹102.55 crore net on Day 1 across more than 21,000 shows. The Hindi version dominated earnings with nearly ₹99 crore, while regional versions in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada contributed smaller but steady numbers. High occupancy rates, particularly in Hindi-speaking regions, played a key role in pushing the film past the ₹100 crore milestone on its opening day.
Even before its official release, the film had built significant momentum through paid previews, collecting around ₹43 crore within a short window. Backed by Jio Studios, the film leveraged strong pre-release buzz and a wide distribution strategy to maximize reach. Combined figures suggest that the film has already crossed ₹145 crore in net collections, with gross earnings estimated to be significantly higher.

The film serves as a sequel to the earlier hit Dhurandhar and continues the story of an undercover Indian intelligence agent operating within hostile territory. The narrative, centered around espionage and high-stakes missions, has resonated with audiences, particularly fans of action-driven storytelling. The success of the first installment, which reportedly crossed ₹1,000 crore in India, contributed heavily to the sequel’s strong opening.
Featuring a star-studded cast led by Ranveer Singh, alongside Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal and R. Madhavan, the film has benefited from strong performances and widespread fan appeal. Industry experts have credited the ensemble cast and large-scale production values as key contributors to its commercial success.
Critics have largely responded positively to the film, praising its scale, action sequences, and emotional depth despite its lengthy runtime.

With such a strong start, the film is expected to maintain momentum in the coming days and potentially set new benchmarks at the box office.
