Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar 2 has finally crossed the Rs 1 crore mark again after a week-long dry spell at the box office, during which the film consistently earned in lakhs. The slowdown comes as no surprise, considering several new releases have arrived in theatres, and the film has already been running since March 19, including paid preview shows a day before release. On the other hand, Bhooth Bangla continues its underwhelming run, struggling in single digits for several days now. The last time the Akshay Kumar-starrer recorded double-digit earnings was on Day 10, which marked its second Sunday.
Despite witnessing a slowdown in recent weeks, Dhurandhar 2 has continued to achieve major milestones at the box office. The film became India’s second-highest-grossing film worldwide and is inching closer to surpassing the lifetime record of Dangal, starring Aamir Khan and directed by Nitesh Tiwari.
Dangal had earned Rs 2,070 crore globally during its theatrical run. Dhurandhar 2, which currently stands at Rs 1,794.65 crore worldwide, now needs around Rs 275.35 crore more to overtake the record.
On its eighth Sunday, or Day 53, the film earned Rs 1.10 crore from 733 shows, registering an overall occupancy of 32.7 per cent. The Hindi version contributed the majority of the collection with Rs 1.06 crore, followed by Tamil with Rs 0.02 crore, while Telugu and Kannada contributed Rs 0.01 crore each.
With this, the film’s total India net collection now stands at Rs 1,143.09 crore, while its worldwide gross has reached Rs 1,794.65 crore.

Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan’s Bhooth Bangla witnessed growth on Sunday but continued to underperform at the box office compared to expectations surrounding the duo’s reunion after more than a decade.
Many viewers and critics felt that the horror-comedy offered little freshness, with several sequences reminding audiences of Priyadarshan’s earlier films. At several points, the film reminded people of Bhool Bhulaiyaa, the director’s 2007 cult hit starring Akshay Kumar.
After remaining in the low single digits for most of its third week, Bhooth Bangla saw a 36.67 per cent jump on Day 24, earning Rs 4.10 crore compared to Rs 3 crore on the previous day.
