Dhurandhar 2 Box Office Dominance Fades as Bhooth Bangla Emerges Victorious
After enjoying a prolonged and record-breaking reign at the box office, the 2026 Bollywood blockbuster 'Dhurandhar 2' is now stepping down from its throne. Starring Ranveer Singh in the lead role, this spy thriller captivated audiences for over a month, shattering numerous box office milestones along the way. However, with the recent release of Akshay Kumar's horror-comedy 'Bhooth Bangla', the era of 'Dhurandhar 2's' supremacy appears to have concluded.
Sharp Decline in Collections Signals End of an Era
According to the latest trade reports, following its monumental achievement of crossing the Rs 1100 crore mark, 'Dhurandhar 2' is experiencing a significant slowdown. On its fifth Monday, which was day 33 of its theatrical run, the film struggled to generate even Rs 2 crore at the ticket counters, marking a stark contrast to its earlier successes.
Data from Sacnilk reveals that on day 33, Aditya Dhar's directorial venture earned a net collection of Rs 1.62 crore across 3,672 shows in India. This represents a dramatic drop of 68.8% compared to its Sunday collection of Rs 5.20 crore. The domestic tally now stands at Rs 1,117.29 crore.
In the overseas markets, the film added Rs 0.40 crore on its fifth Monday, bringing the total overseas gross earnings to Rs 421.50 crore. Combined with the Indian gross business of Rs 1,337.46 crore, the worldwide collection for 'Dhurandhar 2' has reached an impressive Rs 1,758.96 crore.
Weekly Performance Highlights Steady Decline
The box office journey of 'Dhurandhar 2' has been marked by a gradual decline in weekly earnings, as illustrated below:
- Week 1: Rs 674.17 crore
- Week 2: Rs 263.65 crore
- Week 3: Rs 110.60 crore
- Week 4: Rs 54.70 crore
As the film entered its fifth week, it faced a slow start on Friday, but the weekend provided a temporary boost. However, Monday saw another drastic drop in numbers. Here is a breakdown of the recent daily collections:
- Day 30 (5th Friday): Rs 2.70 crore
- Day 31 (5th Saturday): Rs 4.65 crore
- Day 32 (5th Sunday): Rs 5.20 crore
- Day 33 (5th Monday): Rs 1.62 crore
Head-to-Head Battle with Bhooth Bangla
The competition intensified with the release of 'Bhooth Bangla', starring Akshay Kumar and Wamiqa Gabbi. During its fifth weekend, 'Dhurandhar 2', featuring Ranveer Singh and Rakesh Bedi, earned an estimated Rs 12 crore. In contrast, Priyadharshan's directorial 'Bhooth Bangla' made a stunning Rs 58 crore on its opening weekend.
On Monday, while 'Dhurandhar 2' collected below Rs 2 crore, 'Bhooth Bangla' surged ahead with over Rs 6 crore, solidifying its position as the new box office leader.
