Initially, expectations for Dhurandhar 2 were high following its impressive opening, which saw a collection of ₹102 crore on its first day. However, as the days progressed, there were concerns about its sustainability at the box office. The film had a total of 20,352 shows on Wednesday, but this number drastically dropped to 4,452 shows by day 8, indicating a 78% reduction in screenings.
Despite the decline in shows, Dhurandhar 2 made a surprising comeback on day 8, collecting ₹30.06 crore. This surge brought its total domestic net collection to approximately ₹654.03 crore, a significant achievement that has caught the attention of industry analysts.
The film’s success has had direct implications for its standing in the industry. Dhurandhar 2 has now surpassed the domestic lifetime collections of notable films like Stree 2 (₹713.15 crore) and Chhaava (₹716.91 crore). Its total India gross collection now stands at ₹748.52 crore.
Furthermore, the film has crossed the ₹1,000 crore mark globally, with a total worldwide gross collection of ₹1,006.50 crore. This milestone underscores the film’s broad appeal and the effectiveness of its marketing strategy.
In the early hours of day 8, Dhurandhar 2 minted ₹3.34 crore, reflecting a steady interest among audiences. The film registered an occupancy rate of about 16.7% across theatres, indicating that while the number of shows has decreased, the audience turnout remains significant.
Industry expert Taran Adarsh noted that Dhurandhar 2 has also crossed the ₹250 crore mark in overseas markets, further enhancing its financial success. This international performance is crucial for films in today’s globalized market.
As Dhurandhar 2 enters its second week, it continues to demonstrate resilience at the ticket window after a powerful opening week. The film’s trajectory suggests that it may still have more surprises in store for its fans and stakeholders alike.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding future projections, but the current figures paint a promising picture for the film’s ongoing run in theatres.
