Ranveer Singh’s latest blockbuster Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge, directed by Aditya Dhar, is on the verge of rewriting box office history. The film has already amassed a staggering ₹1,737.74 crore worldwide, placing it just ₹5 crore short of surpassing Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2: The Rule, which grossed ₹1,742.10 crore in its lifetime run. This milestone would make Dhurandhar 2 the third highest-grossing Indian film globally, trailing only behind Dangal and Baahubali 2: The Conclusion.
The film’s performance has been nothing short of phenomenal. In its fifth weekend, Dhurandhar 2 wrapped up its fourth week with earnings of ₹54.70 crore. On its fourth Thursday alone, it added ₹3.40 crore nett, taking its 29-day total to ₹1,103.12 crore nett in India. These numbers highlight the film’s strong hold at the box office, even weeks after its release, proving its appeal across demographics and regions.
Globally, the film’s success has placed it in elite company. Dangal remains the highest-grossing Indian film with ₹2,070 crore, followed by Baahubali 2: The Conclusion at ₹1,810.60 crore. If Dhurandhar 2 manages to cross Pushpa 2, it will cement Ranveer Singh’s position as one of the most bankable stars in Indian cinema, while also marking a significant achievement for director Aditya Dhar.
The competition between Dhurandhar 2 and Pushpa 2 has captured the imagination of fans and industry watchers alike. Allu Arjun’s Pushpa franchise has been a cultural phenomenon, and dethroning it would be no small feat. Yet, Ranveer Singh’s film has shown remarkable resilience, with consistent earnings that suggest it could indeed surpass the record in the coming days.
As the race tightens, all eyes are on whether Dhurandhar 2 can achieve this historic milestone. If it does, it will not only be a personal triumph for Ranveer Singh but also a testament to the evolving landscape of Indian cinema, where larger-than-life storytelling and global appeal are driving unprecedented box office success.
