The highly anticipated ‘Dhurandhar 2’ arrived with immense buzz, touted as the next record-breaker after ‘Pushpa 2’. However, current box office trends paint a surprising picture. Despite strong global collections, the film is struggling to match ‘Pushpa 2’s phenomenal success, leaving South Indian audiences visibly disappointed and wondering if the hype fell short.
Box Office Shock: Hype Unmet
Shocking: ‘Dhurandhar 2’ Collections Fail to Match ‘Pushpa 2’ Records! Fans Disappointed!! From the moment of its release, everyone expected the film ‘Dhurandhar 2’ to create a massive sensation. However, a look at its current collections suggests that surpassing ‘Pushpa 2”s record will be a significant challenge, leaving fans disappointed. The film, starring Ranveer Singh and Madhavan, managed to collect only Rs. 6.52 crores on its 20th day. While globally it has accumulated a massive Rs. 1625.72 crores, it still needs over Rs. 120 crores to break ‘Pushpa 2”s record.
Indeed, ‘Dhurandhar 2’, featuring Ranveer Singh, Madhavan, Sara Arjun, and Sanjay Dutt, generated considerable excitement since its release. Given the immense craze, buzz, and audience reception, many believed it would shatter Indian box office records. However, the film has now experienced a significant slump. The robust momentum of the first week was noticeably absent in the second, and collections dropped sharply in the third week. The collection details for the film’s 20th day highlight this decline. Compared to the 19th day (Monday), when it collected Rs. 10 crores, ‘Dhurandhar 2’ garnered merely Rs. 6.52 crores at the box office on Tuesday, its 20th day. So far, its net collections in India stand at Rs. 1030.29 crores, while gross collections have reached Rs. 1233.41 crores.
‘Dhurandhar 2’ has certainly made its mark on the global box office. The film has amassed a formidable worldwide collection of Rs. 1625.72 crores to date, making it the fourth highest-grossing Indian film globally. In comparison, ‘Pushpa 2’ currently holds the third spot among the highest-grossing films worldwide, with a global collection of Rs. 1742.10 crores.
Can ‘Dhurandhar 2’ Still Break Records?
Film analysts believe that if ‘Dhurandhar 2’ can boost its collections further, it might still be able to break ‘Pushpa 2”s record. Its subsequent target would then be to surpass ‘Baahubali 2”s record of Rs. 1788.06 crores. However, observing the current collection trends, the feasibility of achieving these milestones has become questionable. To surpass ‘Pushpa 2’, ‘Dhurandhar 2’ still needs to accumulate over Rs. 120 crores. At the current rate of collections, this would take more than twenty days. Crucially, collections tend to dwindle over time rather than increasing. If this pattern persists, it’s highly improbable that ‘Dhurandhar 2’ will be able to overtake ‘Pushpa 2’. Despite initial expectations that the movie would break all records, the situation now appears quite different.
Titled ‘Dhurandhar The Revenge’, the film is a spy action thriller directed by Aditya Dhar. It was produced by Lokesh Dhar, Aditya Dhar, and Jyoti Deshpande under the banners of Jio Studios and B62 Studios. This film is a sequel to ‘Dhurandhar’, which was released in 2025. The cast includes Ranveer Singh, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Sara Arjun, Rakesh Bedi, Gaurav Gera, Danish Pandor, and Manav Gohil in pivotal roles. Ultimately, whether this film will break ‘Pushpa 2”s record remains to be seen. Fans continue to express disappointment as the initial hopes for ‘Dhurandhar 2’ dominating the box office appear to be fading. Stay tuned for further updates.
Looking Ahead
Dhurandhar 2 couldn’t replicate Pushpa 2’s magic. This outcome powerfully underscores South Indian cinema’s undisputed dominance, setting an unmatched pan-India standard. While disappointment lingers, it’s a clear lesson: genuine connect and compelling narratives, not just star power, truly rule the box office. The South reigns.
