Ranveer Singh’s film ‘Dhurandhar 2’ has hit a new box office milestone on its 22nd day, though it has shown signs of slowing down. Directed by Aditya Dhar, the film originally released on March 19, 2026, has captured audiences but recorded a significant dip in earnings recently.
Dhurandhar 2’s Box Office Performance
As the film closed its third week, the box office collections on its fourth Thursday amounted to Rs 7.15 crore in net earnings. This brought its cumulative net collection in India to approximately Rs 1,048.42 crore. The total gross collection now stands at a staggering Rs 1,255.23 crore in India, with worldwide figures reaching about Rs 1,665.23 crore, including Rs 410 crore from international markets.
Weekly Earnings Overview
The performance of ‘Dhurandhar 2’ has varied over its release weeks:
- Week 1: Rs 674.17 crore
- Week 2: Rs 263.65 crore
- Week 3: Rs 110.60 crore
Comparison with Previous Films
Despite breaking some records, ‘Dhurandhar 2’ has not surpassed the lifetime collections of its predecessor. It stands at the second spot based on its third-week collections, unable to beat ‘Dhurandhar’s’ Rs 172 crore record from last December. The film has outperformed ‘Baahubali 2’ by Rs 10 crore, but still has a distance to cover to reach ‘Pushpa 2’s’ benchmark of Rs 1,234 crore.
Future Prospects for Dhurandhar 2
The film remains poised to enter its fourth week. It faces potential competition as it approaches the release of Akshay Kumar’s ‘Bhoot Bangla’. While there is speculation about reaching the Rs 2,000 crore mark, it remains contingent on maintaining momentum amidst new releases.
OTT Release Plans
Looking ahead, ‘Dhurandhar 2’ is set to premiere on JioHotstar, marking a shift from the original film, which debuted on Netflix. The producers intend to keep it in theatres for eight weeks before its digital release.
Critical Reception
Acclaimed director Sandeep Reddy Vanga lauded ‘Dhurandhar 2’, describing it as “outstanding”. He encouraged appreciation of the film amid critiques and acknowledged the efforts of the filmmakers and the cast, including Ranveer Singh.
In summary, while ‘Dhurandhar 2’ has achieved significant financial success, its current trajectory suggests challenges in sustaining its box office dominance, as it prepares for competition and a forthcoming OTT debut.
