'Dhurandhar 2' Box Office Collection Day 16: Ranveer Singh Starrer Crosses INR 955 Crore in India

Aditya Dhar’s spy thriller Dhurandhar: The Revenge continues its record-breaking streak at the box office, officially crossing the INR 955 crore mark in domestic net collections on its 16th day. The film, featuring Ranveer Singh in the lead role, saw a significant surge in earnings during the Good Friday holiday, collecting INR 21.55 crore. With this momentum, the sequel is now positioned to become one of the few Indian films to enter the elite INR 1,000 crore club within the domestic market.

The film has maintained a dominant presence in theatres despite entering its third week. Industry trackers note that the Good Friday surge followed a steady Thursday collection of INR 17.80 crore, indicating strong "word-of-mouth" stay power. Globally, the film has already surpassed the INR 1,148 crore gross mark, having cleared the INR 1,000 crore global milestone within its first week of release. ‘Dhurandhar 2’ Box Office Collection Day 15: Ranveer Singh Starrer Hits INR 1,492 Crore Worldwide; Becomes 4th Highest-Grossing Indian Film.

Dhurandhar 2 Overtakes Major Indian Blockbusters

With its current domestic total of INR 959.37 crore, Dhurandhar 2 has surpassed the lifetime India collections of several historic blockbusters. The film has moved past the domestic earnings of KGF: Chapter 2 (INR 859.70 crore), RRR (INR 782.20 crore), and Kalki 2898 AD (INR 646 crore). Analysts suggest that the film’s unique blend of high-stakes espionage and character-driven storytelling has resonated deeply with both urban and rural audiences.

The first week alone saw an unprecedented haul of INR 674.17 crore, setting a new benchmark for opening-week performance in Indian cinema. While the second week saw a minor natural dip, the extended holiday weekend is expected to provide the necessary push to bridge the remaining gap toward the INR 1,000 crore India net milestone.

Sequel Explores the Origins of Hamza and Jaskirat

Dhurandhar 2 serves as a direct follow-up to the 2025 hit Dhurandhar, which concluded its global run with INR 1,300 crore. While the first film focused on an undercover mission to infiltrate a Baloch gang in Lyari, Pakistan, the sequel functions as a prequel-sequel hybrid. It delves into the backstory of how the protagonist, Jaskirat, eventually transforms into the operative known as Hamza due to escalating geopolitical circumstances.

The film features an ensemble cast including Sara Arjun, Arjun Rampal, R. Madhavan, Rakesh Bedi, and Gaurav Gera. The technical aspects, particularly the cinematography by Vikash Nowlakha and the musical score by Shashwat Sachdev, have been highlighted by critics as pivotal to the film's immersive experience.

Industry Acclaim and Celebrity Reviews

The film has received widespread praise from within the film fraternity. Kantara star Rishab Shetty recently shared a detailed review, describing the film as a "statement" rather than just a sequel. Shetty lauded the storytelling of Aditya Dhar, noting that the detailing and performances by the cast, specifically mentioning Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, and Sanjay Dutt, were "top-notch." ‘Dhurandhar 2’ Box Office Collection Day 14: Ranveer Singh’s Spy Thriller Crosses INR 920 Crore in India; Hits INR 1,466 Crore Globally.
