Continuing its record-breaking run, Dhurandhar 2 (also referred to as Dhurandhar: The Revenge) has emerged as one of the biggest Indian blockbusters in recent years. Directed by Aditya Dhar, the spy thriller maintained a phenomenal hold on Day 2, despite being a working weekday.
Massive Day 2 Growth Continues
After an explosive start, the film’s numbers continue to soar:
-

By 3 PM on Friday (Day 2), the film had already earned ₹32 crore net, taking its total domestic collection to ₹177 crore.
Trade analysts suggest that with strong evening and night show occupancy, the film is set to cross ₹200 crore within just two days, a rare feat in Indian cinema.
Strong Occupancy on Weekday
According to early estimates, Dhurandhar 2 recorded around 48% occupancy in morning and afternoon shows on Friday—an impressive figure for a non-holiday weekday.
The majority of collections continue to come from the Hindi version, with footfall expected to rise further in prime-time shows.
