Aditya Dhar’s high-octane spy thriller Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge continues its unstoppable march at the box office, proving that a gripping narrative rooted in patriotism and real-life echoes can sustain audience interest well into its third week. On its third Monday (Day 19, April 6), the Ranveer Singh-led film collected an estimated ₹10 crore net in India across 13,736 shows, according to Sacnilk data. While this represents the expected weekday drop from Sunday’s strong ₹28.75 crore, it is being viewed as a solid hold that underscores the film’s enduring word-of-mouth appeal.
With this addition, Dhurandhar 2 has pushed its India net collection to ₹1,023.77 crore and India gross to ₹1,225.72 crore. More significantly, it has become the first Hindi-language film ever to cross the prestigious ₹1,000 crore net milestone domestically — joining an elite club previously dominated by pan-India blockbusters like Pushpa 2: The Rule and Baahubali 2. The Hindi version alone has reportedly contributed over ₹950 crore, setting a new benchmark for the language.
Globally, the momentum is even more impressive. The film added ₹5 crore from overseas territories on Day 19, taking its international gross to ₹397 crore. The worldwide gross now stands at ₹1,622.72 crore, comfortably crossing the ₹1,600 crore mark within just 18 days of release. This achievement comes despite the film facing bans in Gulf countries and Pakistan, highlighting its robust performance in other key markets including North America, Europe, and South America.
The film’s trajectory reveals remarkable consistency. It stormed out of the gates with a massive first week of ₹674.17 crore net in India. The second week added another ₹263.65 crore, while the third weekend showed healthy growth: Day 16 (third Friday) collected ₹21.55 crore (a 27% jump), followed by ₹25.65 crore on Saturday and ₹28.75 crore on Sunday. Even as Monday brought the typical dip, the overall run demonstrates that audiences are returning for repeat viewings, drawn by the high-stakes espionage, emotional depth, and edge-of-the-seat action sequences.
Directed and co-produced by Aditya Dhar (riding high after Uri), the sequel follows Indian spy Jaskirat Singh Rangi (Ranveer Singh) as he is tasked by Intelligence Bureau chief Ajay Sanyal (R Madhavan) with a daring anti-terror mission. The story weaves in references to historical events such as the Kandahar hijacking and the 2008 Mumbai attacks, lending it a sense of urgency and relevance that has resonated strongly with viewers. The ensemble cast — including Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, Sara Arjun, Rakesh Bedi, Gaurav Gera, Danish Pandor, and Manav Gohil — delivers layered performances that elevate the spectacle.
Trade analysts point to strong word-of-mouth and the film’s ability to balance patriotism with thrilling storytelling as key drivers. Celebrity endorsements, including praise from Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli for Dhar’s “original direction” and Ranveer Singh’s intense portrayal, have further amplified its cultural impact. Dubbed versions in Telugu (₹40+ crore) and Tamil (₹17+ crore) have also contributed steadily, broadening its pan-Indian footprint.
Despite the usual third-week challenges and competition from other releases, Dhurandhar 2 has maintained a wide release with thousands of shows daily. Its resilience even amid mixed critical opinions on “propaganda” elements speaks volumes about audience priorities — they clearly value conviction in execution over perfection in every frame.
As it enters the latter part of its theatrical run, the film is eyeing further milestones: ₹1,100 crore India net and a potential push toward ₹1,700 crore worldwide. For Ranveer Singh, this marks another career-defining blockbuster, reinforcing his versatility and box-office pull. For producer Jio Studios and B62 Studios, it validates the investment in original, large-scale content that connects emotionally and nationally.
In an industry where many big-budget films fade quickly after the opening weekend, Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge stands out as a rare example of sustained success. The revenge saga is still unfolding on screens, and if the current trend holds, its final tally could rewrite several records in Bollywood and Indian cinema history
