Dhurandhar The Revenge now faces competition at the Indian box office. Akshay Kumari’s horror-comedy drama Bhooth Bangla hit the big screen on April 17 and has already minted over Rs 23 crore worldwide.
According to Sacnilk, Dhurandhar 2 has minted Rs 1.53 crore on its 5th Saturday by 3pm. The film saw 22% occupancy across 1942 shows. This brings total India gross collections to Rs 1,325.54 crore and total India net to Rs 1,107.35 crore so far.
Rajkummar Rao praised Dhurandhar and told PTI, “Every decade or every five years, some film would come that would change the grammar and would change the whole perspective towards filmmaking. And I’m glad ‘Dhurandhar’ has done that."
He added, “I think Aditya’s language of cinema and the way his craft is, it’s phenomenal. I have never seen a spy film like this in my whole life coming out of India. The way he portrayed Ranveer in it was absolutely brilliant. His passion, his storytelling, his use of music, shot taking - everything. There was so much to learn from it. It was a very new kind of filmmaking."
Aditya Dhar lauded Dhurandhar's choreographer Vijay Ganguly. He wrote, "With Vijay, it always begins with instinct. He doesn’t just hear music, he feels it and then translates that feeling into something you can see. What surprised me most on Dhurandhar was how much he thinks like a director. It made my job easier in ways I didn’t expect. Maybe it’s years of experience or maybe it’s in his DNA, being the great Anil Ganguly’s son, but there’s a storyteller in him that goes beyond choreography. I still remember our conversations around “Shararat.” I wasn’t fully convinced about doing a lip-sync dance track in the film. But Vijay just smiled and said, “Let’s go for it sir, it’ll be fun.” That one push gave Shashwat and me the confidence we needed."
He added, "And what came out of it is honestly one of my favorite parts of the film. That’s who he is, someone who shows up, not just physically but emotionally. Even on the toughest days his infectious smile and childlike excitement made everything feel lighter. From “Didi” to the madness of Fa9la (Flipperachi)with Akshaye Khanna, he brought heart, detail, and total commitment. He’s not just a brilliant choreographer, he’s a true team player. Grateful for you, Vijay. Rooting for everything that’s coming your way. ❤️"
According to Sacnilk, Dhurandhar 2 earned Rs 35 lakh by 11am on its 5th Saturday. The film saw occupancy of 16% in 946 shows.
The fan wrote, "Dear Jaskirat @RanveerOfficial garu this is for you from a Telugu Cinema Lover. 💌 @AdityaRajKaulngaru @AdityaDharFilms garu, heartfelt thanks to you for portraying the truth of a spy's life and unwavering love for the country on screen, its praise cannot be expressed in words."
With its worldwide collection standing at Rs 1,742 crore, Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar 2 has become the third highest-grossing Indian film ever, behind Baahubali 2 and Dangal. However, it is currently tied with Pushpa 2, which also minted Rs 1,742 crore in its lifetime worldwide collection.
Dhurandhar 2 actor Manav Gohil lauded Ranveer Singh’s dedication and recalled how the actor took a month’s break from the film’s shoot as he and wife Deepika Padukone welcomed their daughter, Dua. However, Manav revealed that apart from spending time with his family, Ranveer also used that one month to beef up his body to play Hamza.
He told Mamaraazzi, "I think the transition, because you see it in the film, feels very sudden. But for me, we didn't shoot for a few months in between, and of course Ranveer and Deepika had a baby during that phase as well. So he went through a lot,"
He added, "When I first saw him in Bangkok, he was in his Hamza phase—completely beefed up, very particular about his food and discipline. Months later, when he came back, he had transitioned into Jaskirat, a sharp, young boy—almost like someone straight out of the army. So yes, the shift was very evident."
Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma, who has been the biggest cheerleader of Dhurandhar films, recently shared his only criticism of the film. In a recent conversation with writer Hussain Zaidi on YouTube, he said, "The only element I disagree with is that… I feel that the portrayal of Dawood Ibrahim… They might have their own sources (but) I think it is being shown incorrectly." He added, “It’s not like I can say that with authority. But it is not falling in line with what I know."
Recently, a student’s answer sheet went viral after they drew Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar look on the paper. The question asked, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” The student wrote, "I will become an actor like Ranveer Singh. He is a very great actor. He is very hard-working. I would play any character because I also like dancing and singing." They also sketched the actor’s look alongside the answer.
The moment Dhurandhar fans have been waiting for is here. The Ranveer Singh-starrer has minted Rs 1,742 crore in worldwide collections, matching Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2 lifetime total of Rs 1,742 crore. The Aditya Dhar directorial is now set to overtake Pushpa 2 to become the third highest-grossing film in India after Dangal and Baahubali 2.
Dhurandhar 2's worldwide box office collection currently stands at Rs 1,741.73 crore. The film is expected to surpass Pushpa 2 today, which earned Rs 1,742.10 cr worldwide.
On Friday, which was the film 30th day in the theatres, it earned Rs 2.70 cr at the box office in India. This takes the film's net domestic collection to Rs 1,105.82 cr.
