Is Dhurandhar 2 Bollywood’s Biggest Ever? Ranveer Singh Film Leaves SRK, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan Behind
Is Dhurandhar 2 Bollywood’s Biggest Ever? Ranveer Singh Film Leaves SRK, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan Behind
There’s something electric happening at the box office right now and no, it’s not just another “hit Friday." Dhurandhar: The Revenge has turned theatres into celebration zones, and honestly, it feels less like a film run and more like a full-on festival. From packed single screens to sold-out multiplex shows, the vibe is loud, proud, and completely unstoppable.
At the centre of this storm is Ranveer Singh, delivering a performance that is simply impressive. And the numbers? They’re doing all the talking.
BOX OFFICE REPORT CARD: NUMBERS THAT REFUSE TO SLOW DOWN
In just eight days, Dhurandhar 2 has comfortably crossed Rs 800 crore gross in India, with its worldwide total rapidly approaching the Rs 1,100 crore mark. The film wrapped up its extended first week with a massive Rs 454.12 crore net in India, before continuing its strong run into the weekdays.
Even with the expected mid-week dip, the drop has been far from dramatic. A Day 8 collection of nearly Rs 50 crore signals one thing clearly that this film isn’t experiencing a slowdown, it’s simply catching its breath before the next big weekend jump.
Trade trends suggest that with no major competition in the coming days, the film is poised for another surge, potentially pushing it into the all-time highest-grossing Hindi film conversation sooner than expected.
WHAT’S DRIVING THE CRAZE?
Directed by Aditya Dhar, the film blends scale with storytelling in a way that feels both cinematic and accessible. The action is slick, the pacing is tight, and the emotional beats land where they should.
But beyond the filmmaking, it’s the theatrical experience that’s working overtime here. This is the kind of film audiences want to watch in a crowd.
Ranveer Singh’s Hamza Ali Mazari is at the heart of it all… intense, stylish, and unapologetically massy. Supporting performances by Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, and Arjun Rampal further elevate the narrative, giving the film a strong ensemble backing.
OUTPERFORMING BENCHMARKS: A RARE BOX OFFICE RUN
What has truly caught industry attention is how Dhurandhar 2 is not just performing well but it is also outperforming established benchmarks.
The film’s opening weekend numbers comfortably surpassed early weekend figures of Baahubali 2, signalling a strong trajectory from the start. Within days, it has already overtaken the lifetime global collections of Pathaan and Kalki 2898 AD, placing it among the fastest films to achieve such milestones.
Its domestic run has been equally impressive. With over Rs 450 crore net collected within its first weekend itself, the film has already crossed the lifetime India collections of Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Dangal, both considered benchmarks in their own right.
SRK, SALMAN, AAMIR: THE BIG LEAGUE COMPARISON
Naturally, comparisons with Bollywood’s biggest names, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan, have become inevitable.
While Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan remains one of the biggest global grossers, Dhurandhar 2 is rapidly closing the gap domestically and could challenge its records if the current momentum continues.
Salman Khan’s Bajrangi Bhaijaan, known for its emotional pull and long theatrical run, has already been surpassed in terms of India collections, something that seemed unlikely just weeks ago.
As for Aamir Khan’s Dangal, it still holds the crown globally, thanks to its exceptional overseas performance. However, Dhurandhar 2 overtaking its domestic lifetime total within days signals a shift in how quickly modern blockbusters are scaling.
GLOBAL PERFORMANCE: BEYOND JUST INDIA
The film’s stronghold is not limited to the domestic market. Overseas collections have already crossed Rs 260 crore, bringing it close to matching the international lifetime total of its predecessor.
What makes this even more notable is the competition. Despite releases like Project Hail Mary in international markets, Dhurandhar 2 has managed to maintain a solid foothold.
THE ROAD AHEAD
With a clear run at the box office and strong word-of-mouth backing it, Dhurandhar 2 is expected to continue its record-breaking streak in the coming weeks. All eyes are now on whether it can surpass the biggest global benchmarks and emerge as one of the highest-grossing Indian films of all time.
