Dhurandhar 2 The Revenge Box Office Collection Day 19: Ranveer Singh film earns over Rs 1030 cr in India

Telugu filmmaker BVS Ravi believes Dhurandhar films mark a turning point for mainstream cinema and traditional producers. In an interview with Gulte, he said, "Look at Dhurandhar, he (Aditya) made an 8-hour film. How hard he must have worked and how much he must have researched. He tried hard to make it logical. What is the theme that he has built? What is the number of people who have trusted and believed in his vision? How did he convince the producer to spend that kind of money?”

Ravi added, "I think Dhurandhar is the beginning of the end of regular producers. It is known that the film was made on a budget of Rs 260 crore for both parts - with Ranveer Singh, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna and other people. Out of the world fights, look at the locations. They put up a set in Bangkok, but it still cost them that. We begin our films at the cost of Rs 500 crore."

User @NavaniRajan said via X, "Watched Dhurandhar 2 last week - a film that stayed with me beyond the spectacle. One thing stood out - intent has its own way of finding expression. Spoiler ahead: Jaskirat begins with a clear purpose - to serve the nation through the army. Life intervenes. Choices shift. Responsibilities and family’s safety take priority. But what’s interesting is this - the intent never changes. Only the path does. In the end, he still serves the nation. Just not in the way he first imagined. A quiet reminder: Purpose isn’t always fulfilled in the form we choose - but it often finds a way through the forms we don’t. If you’ve watched it, did you see it the same way?"

According to trade tracker Sacnilk, Ranveer Singh film Dhurandhar The Revenge has earned around Rs 2.88 crore as of 2 pm on Tuesday.

Dhurandhar 2 director Aditya Dhar shared a long note on the film's music director Shashwat Sachdev. It read, "Here’s to Shashwat Sachdev. Some collaborations go beyond work, they become deeply personal.
Sha has been that for me. Not just the music composer of Dhurandhar but someone I see as a younger brother, someone I’ve shared chaos, silence, ideas and some of the most intense creative days with. What he’s done on this film still doesn’t feel real when I say it out loud.
9 songs in 9 days for Dhurandhar Part 1, with the entire BGM done in 6 days. And then Dhurandhar Part 2, 14 songs in 11 days, BGM in 3. At that speed, at that scale, with that kind of emotional depth and that kind of extraordinary quality, it’s beyond crazy.
And what makes it even more unreal is how both the albums, released within a span of 3 months, reached top global charts, with almost every song being loved and celebrated, something that’s an absolute rarity for any film in the world.For almost 15 days, my house stopped being a house. It became a living, breathing studio. Every room had something going on, music in the living room, recordings in the bedrooms, writing in the balconies. Singers and musicians walking in and out endlessly. Days and nights just blending into each other. 21–22 hour stretches, no real sense of time, just a shared madness to get it right.And right at the center of all of it was Sha.Holding everything together. Creating, composing, guiding, reacting, evolving, all at once. There were days he was unwell, running on barely any sleep, dealing with health scares but he still showed up fully, without compromise, without slowing down.
That kind of resilience is rare."

Ravi Kishan came in defence of Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar and lashed out at those calling the film a propaganda. He told that the film “revived the industry and presented facts through cinematic brilliance.”

He further told HT City, “Calling it a propaganda film is very wrong! Actors from the South supported it openly, and everyone should do the same. A new trend has started where people are calling films propaganda—ek naya kabootar pakad liye hain log!”

He compared Dhurandhar to Sholay and said, “The writer chooses topics based on real news and incidents, and the team presents them cinematically. We should be happy that more people are going to the theatres. The industry was in bad shape; the Bhojpuri industry, for example, had almost shut down. This film has been a blessing for the industry, and lakhs of people earn their livelihood through cinema.”

He added, “It’s crucial that films depict what has happened and is happening in society. In fact, we need to correct our history—those pages that were torn away from our past. That truth needs to come to light."

Aditya Dhar responded to Virat Kohli's praise. He reshared the post and wrote, "Wow! I can’t believe this is happening. Virat, this truly means a lot. I’ve been a fan since your under-19 World Cup days. Seeing a once-in-a-generation legend show appreciation like this is something special. The way you represent the country every time you step out inspires us; in our own small ways, we’ll always strive to make India proud with our films. Jai Hind."

Virat Kohli also lauded Dhurandhar, showering praise on Aditya Dhar and calling him a ‘genius’. He wrote, “Saw the film today and dare I say that I’ve never ever seen a cinematic experience like this made in India. It brought out every kind of emotion to the surface, and I didn’t flinch once for almost 4 hours. Aditya Dhar, your talent and conviction is reflected in what you’ve created. Hats off to you. You’re a genius.”
