Dhurandhar 2 Box Office: A Record-Breaking Start with Day 2 Dip
The highly anticipated sequel 'Dhurandhar: The Revenge' has made a thunderous impact at the box office, continuing the legacy of its predecessor 'Dhurandhar' which roared in December 2025. Starring Ranveer Singh as Humza Ali Mazari, an Indian secret spy who infiltrates the underworld of Lyari to become its king, the film has generated significant buzz since its announcement. Despite witnessing a decline in numbers on its second day of official release, the movie managed to cross the remarkable Rs 200 crore mark within just two days, showcasing its massive appeal.
Box Office Performance: From Preview Shows to Day 2 Collections
On March 18, 2026, the makers of 'Dhurandhar 2' organized paid preview shows across India. Although technical difficulties led to delays and cancellations in many theaters, the film still garnered an impressive Rs 43 crore from these premieres. This was followed by a strong opening day collection of Rs 102.55 crore on March 19, representing an almost 60 percent increase from the preview shows.
However, on day 2, Friday, March 20, the film experienced a dip in business. With a drop of 21.3 percent, 'Dhurandhar: The Revenge' collected Rs 80.72 crore net in India. Despite this decline, the cumulative net collection in India now stands at an impressive Rs 226.27 crore, while the gross collection has reached Rs 269.39 crore.
