Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge, popularly known as Dhurandhar 2, has been on a record-breaking spree since its release on March 19. After delivering an exceptional performance for two weeks, the Aditya Dhar directorial continued its strong momentum into the third weekend. The film has crossed the Rs 1,000 crore mark in India alone, becoming the highest-grossing Bollywood film to date.
Despite this, weekday collections have once again begun to slow down, even as people continue to throng theatres to watch the film.
Headlined by Ranveer Singh, the film recorded its lowest daily collection so far. According to Sacnilk’s early trend report, Dhurandhar 2 earned Rs 10 crore on Day 19, which was the third Monday after its release. With this, the film’s total net collection in India has reached Rs 1,023.77 crore in just 19 days.
The film, a sequel to Dhurandhar, earned Rs 674.17 crore in its first week and Rs 263.65 crore in its second week.
Despite its strong run, Dhurandhar 2 did not top the list of the highest third-Monday collections. The record is still held by its prequel, Dhurandhar, which earned Rs 19.7 crore on its third Monday.
The second position is held by Pushpa 2 with Rs 14.25 crore, followed by Baahubali 2, which collected Rs 14 crore.
With its Rs 10 crore third-Monday earnings, Dhurandhar 2 has now become the fourth-highest third-Monday grosser in Indian box office history.
Although the film witnessed a noticeable drop in collections on its third Monday, it is now on the verge of breaking a major nine-year-old record held by Prabhas’ Baahubali 2. Dhurandhar 2 is currently just Rs 7 crore away from surpassing the lifetime India collection of Baahubali 2, which stands at Rs 1,030.42 crore.
Once it crosses this milestone, Dhurandhar 2 will become the second-highest-grossing film in India, trailing only Pushpa 2, which has collected Rs 1,234.10 crore.
Dhurandhar 2 features Ranveer Singh, Sara Arjun, Arjun Rampal, R Madhavan, and Sanjay Dutt in key roles. In the film, Ranveer plays an Indian spy named Hamza Mazari Ali, who infiltrates Pakistan’s Lyari region to dismantle a terrorist network.
The sequel also delves into the character’s backstory, tracing his transformation from Jaskirat Singh Rangi to Hamza Mazari Ali.
