Dhurandhar 2 Achieves Monumental Box Office Milestone, Franchise Soars to Third Place
Director Aditya Dhar's highly anticipated sequel, 'Dhurandhar: The Revenge', starring the dynamic Ranveer Singh in the lead role, has shattered multiple box office records on its spectacular journey to the top. The film, which premiered to massive fanfare, has now officially crossed the monumental Rs 900 crore mark at the worldwide box office, according to reports from Tuesday. This extraordinary achievement has propelled the Dhurandhar franchise to unprecedented new heights, cementing its status as a cinematic powerhouse.
Detailed Financial Breakdown and Global Collections
As per the latest data from industry tracker Sacnilk, 'Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge' has amassed a staggering worldwide total collection of Rs 919 crore based on early estimates. This impressive gross total comprises two major components:
- India Collections: The film has earned Rs 687.43 crore from domestic markets across the country.
- Overseas Haul: International audiences have contributed Rs 231.57 crore to the overall box office tally.
Meanwhile, the all-India net collections for the film are currently estimated to be around Rs 575.67 crore. Tuesday's remarkable numbers have firmly positioned the film on track to secure its place in box office history books as one of the highest-grossing Indian film franchises of all time.
Franchise Comparison and Industry Rankings
The current box office haul of 'Dhurandhar 2', when combined with the gross total collection of the first 'Dhurandhar' film released in 2025, has enabled the franchise to achieve a significant milestone. The combined earnings have now helped it overtake the Allu Arjun starrer 'Pushpa' franchise to become the third biggest film franchise in India.
With the inaugural film raking in an estimated Rs 1,300 crore and the sequel currently earning Rs 919 crore, the Dhurandhar franchise's overall total collections have now reached an estimated Rs 2,219 crore. This monumental figure has allowed the franchise to surpass the earnings of the 'Pushpa' franchise, which is estimated to be around Rs 2,002 crore.
Future Prospects and Competitive Landscape
The Dhurandhar franchise is now strategically positioned to challenge SS Rajamouli's legendary 'Baahubali' franchise, starring Prabhas, which holds a total of Rs 2,462 crore across three film releases:
- 'Baahubali: The Beginning' (2015)
- 'Baahubali 2: The Conclusion' (2017)
- The 10th anniversary special, 'Baahubali: The Epic'
With an animated film titled 'Baahubali: The Eternal War' also in active development, industry observers are keenly watching to see if the Dhurandhar franchise can maintain its second position in the long term. Currently occupying the top spot is the YRF spy universe, comprising a total of six films thus far, with an estimated total collection of Rs 3,195 crore. This expansive universe includes:
- Salman Khan's 'Tiger' franchise
- Hrithik Roshan's 'War' franchise
- Shah Rukh Khan's 'Pathaan' franchise
Additionally, Alia Bhatt's upcoming film 'Alpha' is also slated to join this prestigious list when it releases later this year, potentially expanding the universe further.
Record-Breaking Context and Theatrical Run Analysis
Despite its remarkable box office performance, the Ranveer Singh-led 'Dhurandhar 2' fell slightly short of matching or breaking Allu Arjun's 'Pushpa 2' record to become the fastest Indian film to cross the Rs 1,000 crore mark. That distinguished record continues to be held by 'Pushpa 2', which reportedly achieved this milestone in just six days.
'Dhurandhar: The Revenge' is projected to reach the Rs 1,000 crore mark on Day 7 of its theatrical run, as it concludes its first extended weekend at the box office. The film still has a considerable journey ahead before wrapping up its theatrical run, keeping trade analysts and industry experts thoroughly engaged as they monitor whether the film can sustain its epic commercial performance in the coming weeks.
The unprecedented success of 'Dhurandhar 2' underscores the growing global appeal of Indian cinema and the powerful draw of well-crafted franchise storytelling. As the film continues its theatrical journey, all eyes remain fixed on its potential to rewrite more records and reshape the landscape of Indian box office history.
