'Dhurandhar 2' Strong Weekday Hold
The film’s domestic run has been characterised by high-volume openings and steady weekday holds. Dhurandhar 2 opened on March 19, 2026, strategically coinciding with the Gudi Padwa and Ugadi festivals. Following a massive opening weekend where it collected over INR 100 crore net daily for the first three days, the momentum continued into the work week. By the end of its eighth day, the film’s domestic net collection stood at INR 674.14 crore, with a gross total of INR 805.32 crore. Trade analysts report that the film maintained a strong streak on Thursday, collecting INR 49.70 crore and is poised to cross the INR 700 crore net milestone in India by Friday evening.

The "Dhurandhar mania" is not limited to the Indian market. The sequel witnessed an explosive start internationally, raking in USD 22 million during its opening weekend alone. Overseas collections reached INR 261.92 crore within eight days. This international performance was achieved despite stiff competition from the Hollywood sci-fi release Project Hail Mary, which reportedly saw some show cancellations in Indian territories to accommodate the overwhelming demand for the spy thriller. ‘Dhurandhar 2’ Box Office Collection Day 7: Ranveer Singh Sequel Hits INR 1,000 Crore Worldwide; Beats ‘Pushpa 2’ Hindi Records.
