Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge Continues Historic Box Office Dominance
As the espionage thriller 'Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge' directed by Aditya Dhar enters its tenth day of theatrical release on Saturday, March 28, 2026, the film is not just performing well—it is rewriting the entire history of Indian cinema at the box office. With a staggering net domestic collection of Rs. 715.72 crore after just nine days, including a haul of Rs. 41.55 crore on day nine, the Ranveer Singh-starrer is heading into what industry analysts describe as the most critical Saturday of its theatrical journey.
The Second Weekend: Where Legacies Are Forged
The second weekend is traditionally where blockbusters either solidify their legendary status or reveal their commercial limitations. Every early indicator suggests that 'Dhurandhar 2' is firmly positioned to achieve the former. The film is now targeting the Rs. 800 crore net milestone by the conclusion of its second weekend, directly threatening the lifetime record of its predecessor, the 2025-released 'Dhurandhar', which stands at Rs. 894.49 crore.
All eyes are now focused on whether the film can surpass the day 10 records established by previous Indian cinematic giants. According to data from Sacnilk, legendary earners like 'Jawan' with Rs. 31.80 crore, 'Pathaan' with Rs. 14 crore, and 'Kalki 2898 AD' with Rs. 34.15 crore experienced varying degrees of audience retention on their tenth day. However, 'Dhurandhar 2' is currently projected to achieve a day 10 collection in the impressive range of Rs. 55–60 crore, a figure that would place it in an entirely separate league of cinematic success.
A Historic First Week That Shattered Records
The inaugural week of 'Dhurandhar: The Revenge' was nothing short of historic. The film launched with a massive day 0 advance of Rs. 43 crore, followed by a thunderous opening day collection of Rs. 102 crore. This incredible momentum remained rock-solid throughout the extended opening weekend, peaking spectacularly on day 4 with a staggering Rs. 114.85 crore. By the end of its first seven days, the film had accumulated a monumental total of Rs. 624.47 crore.
Remarkably, despite a runtime exceeding three and a half hours, the film maintained exceptionally high occupancy rates across both single-screen theaters and multiplexes nationwide. The weekday performance was equally historic:
- Day 5 (Monday): Rs. 65 crore
- Day 6 (Tuesday): Rs. 56.55 crore
- Day 7 (Wednesday): Rs. 48.75 crore
According to Sacnilk, these figures surpassed the first-week Hindi benchmarks set by 'Jawan' (Rs. 327.88 crore) and 'Pathaan' (Rs. 318.5 crore) by an astonishing margin of over 60 percent. The first week officially closed at Rs. 623.42 crore net in India, marking the biggest opening week in the history of single-language Indian cinema. This achievement substantially surpassed the previous record held by 'Pushpa 2', which had a Hindi net first-week collection of Rs. 425 crore.
The worldwide gross at the conclusion of Week 1 stood at an incredible Rs. 1,006.50 crore, making 'Dhurandhar 2' the joint-fastest Indian film ever—alongside 'Pushpa 2'—to cross the coveted Rs. 1,000 crore global mark, achieving this milestone in just seven days.
Steady Momentum Into the Second Week
Following its momentous first week, the film experienced a natural stabilization as it entered its second week. On day 8, it earned a resilient Rs. 49.70 crore, demonstrating incredible staying power for a standard working day. Day 9 saw a slight dip with Rs. 41.55 crore net in India. Industry projections now indicate an upward trajectory for days 10 and 11, with family audiences expected to flock to theaters in record numbers over the weekend.
Day 10 Live Tracking and Current Totals
On its tenth day, 'Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge' continues its steady theatrical run, maintaining 1,305 active shows across the nation. Live tracking data shows the film has added Rs. 7.31 crore to its tally today, pushing its total domestic net collection to Rs. 723.23 crore. With the India gross collection now reaching Rs. 863.84 crore, the film maintains a consistent pace as final figures for the day await official reporting.

About the Film and Its Cast
'Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge' serves as the second installment in Aditya Dhar's spy thriller franchise, which explores the intricate world of Indian covert intelligence. While the first film depicted a high-stakes counter-terrorism operation led by deep-cover agent Hamza, the sequel delves into the origin story of how Jaskirat Singh—a Punjabi boy with a complicated past—transformed into Hamza, the most dangerous Indian intelligence asset operating inside Pakistan. The film operates across multiple timelines and was originally conceived as a single project before its immense scale and narrative complexity prompted the creators to split it into two parts.
Ranveer Singh delivers what numerous critics and audiences are hailing as a career-defining performance, anchoring a nearly four-hour runtime of 229 minutes (certified U/A by the CBFF) with extraordinary physical and emotional range. The formidable antagonists are portrayed by Arjun Rampal as Major Iqbal and Sanjay Dutt as SP Chaudhary Asla. The supporting cast features acclaimed actors including R Madhavan, Rakesh Bedi, Sara Arjun, Danish Pandor, and Udaybir Sandhu, with Yami Gautam making a special appearance.
The film has been released in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu across India and simultaneously in major international markets including the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, the UAE, and key Southeast Asian territories.
