Globally, too, Dune 2 is putting up solid numbers, with the film grossing over $74.6 million so far and eyeing a worldwide opening weekend haul in the range of $170 million-$195 million (around Rs 1500 crore).

Shalini Langer in her review for The Indian Express had called the film “bigger, bolder and more beautiful” and gave it a four star rating. “In all respects, Part Two is a superior effort, an exemplar of cinema’s imagination and possibilities, from the grandeur of its landscapes to the intimacy of its characters,” a part of the review read.
