Dhurandhar 2 Worldwide Box Office Collection Day 28: Ranveer Singh-starrer likely to record lowest single-day earnings on Thursday, global total at Rs 1,733 cr

The comparison between Dhurandhar and the YRF Spy Universe highlights a shift in India’s action-franchise landscape. The YRF Spy Universe, built over time through films like Tiger, War, and Pathaan, is a larger and more established cinematic world featuring major stars such as Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, and Hrithik Roshan, and has accumulated around Rs 3100+ crore across six films.

However, its momentum has slowed due to uneven performances and delays in upcoming projects like War 2 and Alpha.

In contrast, the Dhurandhar franchise has reached a similar or even higher box office total in just two films, crossing Rs 3000 crore.

Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge kicked off with a massive Rs 674.17 crore in its opening week, followed by a significant drop in the second week with collections of Rs 263.65 crore domestically. However, the film continued its strong run in the third week as well, adding Rs 110.60 crore to its total, showcasing sustained box office momentum despite the expected decline.

Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has displayed exceptional 4th-week performance, grossing over Rs 51.30 crore.

Faisal Khan, brother of Aamir Khan, recently praised Dhurandhar, calling it a “perfect movie” and applauding its overall impact. During an interview with Always Bollywood, he even playfully redefined the idea of “perfectionist,” a tag often linked with Aamir. When asked to spell the word, Faisal surprised everyone by replying, 'D H U R A N D H A R'

He said the film’s record-breaking collections, global reach, and strong audience connect are what truly define perfection in cinema. Highlighting its international impact, including markets like China, he noted that the film has created a historic footprint for Indian cinema. In an apparent indirect dig at actors often labelled “Mr. Perfectionist,” Faisal remarked that not every film lives up to that tag, with some failing to connect or sustain in theatres.

A box office tussle is brewing between Akshay Kumar's Bhooth Bangla and Ramveer Singh's Dhurandhar: The Revenge as several single-screen cinemas have reportedly held back advance bookings of Akshay's film due to a show-sharing dispute.

Bollywood Hungama reported that while Jio Studios is seeking 50% screen allocation for Dhurandhar: The Revenge, which continues to perform strongly in its fourth week, distributors of Bhooth Bangla are pushing for full showcasing, citing strong advance trends and demand. As a result, many single screens across Mumbai and other cities have only opened limited paid preview shows, with final decisions on show splits still pending and potentially impacting the film’s release momentum.

Actor Ashwin Dhar also spoke highly of director Aditya Dhar, calling him "very calm". "Aditya is a calm director. Even if a fight breaks out on the sets, amid the shooting with so many actors and big stars, he would always remain very calm. He had the script of the film in his mind. Apart from that, he is a very good human being," the actor told ANI.

Filmmaker Rajiv Rai told the Delhi High Court that he will refrain from making any public comments about Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge while the ongoing dispute is under mediation. Money Control shared a report stating that the legal dispute surrounding the use of the song ‘Oye Oye (Tirchi Topi Wale)’ in Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has moved into mediation after Trimurti Films alleged unauthorised usage. Filmmaker Rajiv Rai informed the Delhi High Court that he will refrain from making any public statements on the matter until the mediation process concludes. During the recent hearing, Justice Tushar Rao Gedela noted concerns over public comments related to the case, emphasizing restraint as the parties attempt to resolve the dispute amicably.

During a Reddit AMA, Rajkummar Rao praised Ranveer Singh’s performance in Dhurandhar 2, saying his portrayal of Hamza stood out the most. He shared that he personally reached out to the actor after watching the film, explaining, “Whenever I get inspired by a performance, I make sure to call the actor… and Ranveer did that with ‘Dhurandhar’.” Praising the entire cast, he added that he couldn’t pick any role he could have done better, as “all the actors in the film were just phenomenal.”

Model-actor Sonali Raut recalled that Ranveer Singh was “very shy and cautious” during one of his early magazine shoots. She shared that she was posing in a bikini and saw that the actor was visibly nervous.

In a recent interview with Filmibeat, Sonali Raut recalled her early experience shooting with Ranveer Singh for Maxim India, revealing a stark contrast between his past and present persona. According to her, it was one of his first glamorous shoots, and he was visibly nervous—constantly chewing gum and frequently using perfume. Sonali added that she was even asked to help him feel more comfortable during the shoot.

X user @velarion9 shared a note for Dhurandhar 2 director Aditya Dhar that read, "You are the only director in indian history who bound his audience without a blink for 4 hours. Not even Babhubali or any other classic blockbuster movie or director had achieved it. Congratulations."
