Ranveer Singh's 'Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge' Achieves Historic Box Office Milestone
Ranveer Singh's latest cinematic venture, 'Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge', directed by Aditya Dhar, is demonstrating remarkable staying power at the box office, maintaining strong collections well into its third week of release. Despite experiencing a slight dip on its third Monday, the film managed to remain in the double-digit crore range, showcasing its enduring appeal among audiences.
Steady Momentum and Record-Breaking Collections
On its twentieth day in theaters, 'Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge' collected an impressive Rs 10.10 crore, indicating steady momentum with a noticeable jump in collections on the following Tuesday. According to the latest estimates reported by News18, the film added approximately Rs 10.10 crore on its third Wednesday, pushing its total India net collection to a staggering Rs 1,033.37 crore.
This achievement marks a significant milestone, as the film has officially crossed the coveted Rs 1,000 crore mark in domestic net collections. On the global front, 'Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge' has reached an extraordinary Rs 1,641.21 crore in gross collections, solidifying its position as one of the biggest blockbusters in recent cinematic history.
Surpassing 'Baahubali 2' and Chasing 'Pushpa 2'
With these monumental numbers, 'Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge' has now surpassed the lifetime collection of the epic 'Baahubali 2: The Conclusion', which had previously held a net collection of Rs 1,030.42 crore in India. However, the film still trails behind the current box office leader, 'Pushpa 2: The Rule', which maintains the top position with a net collection of Rs 1,234.10 crore.
To claim the number one spot, 'Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge' needs to earn approximately Rs 200 crore more, a challenging yet potentially achievable goal given its current trajectory. The Ranveer Singh starrer has delivered a historic box office performance since its release on March 19, recording one of the biggest openings in Hindi cinema and rapidly crossing the Rs 1,000 crore mark worldwide.
In its second week alone, the film contributed a massive Rs 271 crore to its domestic total, highlighting its consistent appeal and strong word-of-mouth promotion.
