Dhurandhar 2 collections: ‘Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge’ has reaffirmed its box office dominance, as it crossed the Rs 1500 crore mark globally on Day 16, continuing its remarkable theatrical run. The Aditya Dhar directorial witnessed a strong resurgence in its third weekend. Notably, on its third Friday, the film registered a 20% jump in domestic earnings, signalling sustained interest of the audience.
Movie maintains strong hold at domestic box office
The film had already scripted history at the box office by surpassing the Rs 1000 crore globally within its first week, bolstered by a massive opening weekend that saw collections exceeding Rs 100 crore in just three days. The momentum carried seamlessly into the second week and has now entered into the third week.
On Day 16, the film minted Rs 21.55 crore net in India, up from Rs 18.30 crore on Thursday. With this, its domestic earnings inch close to the Rs 1000 crore mark, standing at an impressive Rs 959 crore net.
Dhurandhar 2 collections: Film opens to $7 million debut in abroad
Internationally too, Dhurandhar 2 emerged as a formidable force, as it opened to a strong $7 million debut overseas. By the end of the first weekend, it raked in $22 million. Despite a slowdown in the daily collections during the second week, it crossed the $30 million mark with remarkable ease.
On its third Friday, it added over $500,000, taking its overseas figures above $40 million. It is noteworthy that the high-octane spy thriller has shattered long-standing records in key territories such as North America, surpassing the benchmark set by Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, nearly a decade ago.
Film now eyeing Pushpa 2, Baahubali 2
Boasting a global gross of Rs 1,523 crore, the movie is now steadily approaching the lifetime earnings grossed by Pushpa 2 and Baahubali 2. As per trade analysts, given a robust third weekend could propel the film past the mark set by the Telugu blockbusters. Meanwhile, industry estimates suggest that overtaking Dangal, India’s highest-grossing film at Rs 2070 crore, may remain a far cry.
Alongside Ranveer Singh, the film features a stellar cast including R Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, Rakesh Bedi and Sara Arjun. Notably, the film’s prequel had also been a money-maker, grossing Rs 1300 crore globally.
