Ranveer Singh starrer Dhurandhar The Revenge, in just nine days, has entered the Rs. 700 crore club. The film took a fantastic opening and had an amazing first extended weekend. Even on weekdays, it performed very well, and although it showed a drop in collections on its second Friday, the movie has still collected a very good amount.

According to Sacnilk, on its ninth day, Dhurandhar 2 collected Rs. 41.55 crore, taking the total to Rs. 715.72 crore, which is an exceptional amount. The Aditya Dhar directorial has already left films like Jawan, Chhaava, Stree 2, and others behind at the box office in just a few days.

Its next aim is to cross the lifetime collection of SS Rajamouli’s RRR, which had collected Rs. 782.20 crore. Currently, Dhurandhar 2 is at the sixth position when it comes to the highest-grossing Indian film, and at the second spot when it comes to the highest-grossing Hindi film.

Dhurandhar part 1 had collected Rs. 840 crore, and it is the highest-grossing Hindi film till now. It is expected that Dhurandhar 2 will surpass the lifetime collection of Dhurandhar 1 and become the highest-grossing Bollywood film to date.

Dhurandhar 2 Rs. 1000 Crore Club

When it comes to the worldwide gross box office collection, Dhurandhar 2 has already crossed the Rs. 1000 crore mark. It has collected Rs. 1,128.99 gross worldwide.

However, the trade is expecting that the Ranveer Singh starrer will mint more than Rs. 1000 crore net at the box office in India.

Will Dhurandhar 2 Beat Pushpa 2?

Till now, Aalu Arjun starrer Pushpa 2 The Rule is the highest-grossing Indian film if we look at the net collection in India. The film had minted Rs. 1,234.10 crore at the box office. So, let’s wait and watch whether Dhurandhar 2 will be able to beat Pushpa 2 or not.

Mumbai: Samajwadi Party MLA Abu Azmi on Friday slammed the Ranveer Singh starrer Dhurandhar 2, calling it ‘a false film’ made to spread hatred. Azmi added that the film is about Pakistan and questioned why it is being shown to audiences in India. His statements came as the release of ‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge’ triggered fresh controversy, with religious leaders raising concerns over its content.

While speaking to media, he questioned, “This film is made only to spread hatred, it is a false film. It is a Pakistani film, so why not show it to the people of Pakistan? Why show the people of Hindustan?”

Azmi accused the film of defaming Muslims, as he alleged that the movie focuses only on a few criminals while ignoring the many major crimes that have occurred in India.

Earlier, SP MLA Rais Shaikh had criticised the film and raised concerns saying that cinema should entertain, not become a tool for propaganda. Taking to his official handle on X (Formerly Twitter), Shaikh claimed that films like Dhurandhar blur the line between storytelling and political messaging, calling the film an agenda, not an art. “Films like #Dhurandhar blur the line between storytelling and political messaging, repeatedly glorifying one government. This isn’t art, it’s agenda,” he wrote.

AIMIM leader Waris Pathan stated movies should ideally provide knowledge and entertainment, alleging that some filmmakers create such content for monetary gain while spreading negativity against a specific community. 

Despite the controversy, the film garnered a massive box office collection by crossing the Rs 100 crore mark on Day 1 itself. With this, the film’s total collection now stands at a staggering Rs 145.55 crore (all languages), setting the tone for a blockbuster run ahead.

During the paid previews on March 18, the film faced cancellations and delays across India. Not just this, Director Aditya Dhar also issued an apology to the audience after last-minute cancellations and delays.

Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar 2 is a spy action thriller that stars Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, and Sara Arjun. Dhurandhar 2 offers a glimpse into Ranveer’s character, undercover agent Jaskirat Singh Rangi, who is fully embedded in the criminal underworld under the alias Hamza Ali Mazari. It also depicts his ascension to the role of the new Sher-e-Baloch and his ascendancy as the undisputed king of Lyari, as the actor unleashes his full intensity after eliminating Akshaye Khanna’s character, Rahman Dakait, in the first part.

Dhurandhar The Revenge has supassed everyone’s expectations when it comes to the first day collection. It was expected that the movie might take an opening of around Rs. 60-70 crore, but after collecting a fantastic amount of Rs. 43 crore during its paid previews on Wednesday, Dhurandhar 2, on its first day, has hit out of the park by crossing the Rs. 100 crore mark.

According to Sacnilk, the movie on its first day has collected Rs. 102.55 crore (all languages), which is an exceptional amount. So, the total collection is Rs. 145.55 crore (all languages).

The major chunk of the day one collection has come from the original Hindi version, and the South Indian dubbed versions have not done great business. The Telugu version minted Rs. 2.12 crore on its first day, the Tamil version collected Rs. 1.16 crore, in Kannada, the collection was Rs. 8 lakh, and the Malayalam version collected Rs. 9 lakh.

The Ranveer Singh directorial has received positive reviews from the critics. The Free Press Journal reviewer gave the movie 3 stars and wrote, “Dhurandhar: The Revenge is a gripping, high-voltage drama that works largely because of Ranveer’s powerhouse performance. Despite its slow patches and excessive gore, the film delivers enough thrills and emotion to keep audiences invested.”

With positive reviews and word of mouth it is expected that Dhurandhar 2 will show a jump at the box office over the weekend, and we won’t be surprised if the film surpasses the Rs. 300-400 crore mark in just four days (extended week).

Dhurandhar 2 Budget

Dhurandhar 2 is already a super profitable venture for the makers. So, according to some reports, Dhurandhar parts 1 and 2 were made on a budget of Rs. 280 crore. So, with just part 1 collection, more than Rs. 800 crore at the box office, part 2 is just an addition to the fantastic collection.
