Dhurandhar Overtakes Dangal With Record Breaking Week 2 Performance
Dhurandhar is rewriting the rules of the Hindi box office with a second-week run that has stunned the industry. The Ranveer Singh-led spy thriller has officially delivered the highest Week 2 collection ever recorded in Hindi cinema, ending Dangal’s six-year reign and racing past massive blockbusters like Salaar and 2.0.
Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar shows no signs of slowing down despite releasing on December 5. Audiences have flocked to theatres in large numbers, driven by strong word-of-mouth and the film’s intense storytelling. Ranveer Singh’s portrayal of an Indian undercover agent operating in Pakistan has been widely praised, while Dhar has further cemented his status as one of Bollywood’s most reliable directors after the National Award-winning Uri: The Surgical Strike. – Dhurandhar Overtakes Dangal With Record Breaking Week 2 Performance
Dhurandhar Storms Past ₹400 Crore Mark
Currently deep into its second week, Dhurandhar crossed the ₹400 crore domestic milestone on Day 12. As per trade estimates, the film collected approximately ₹411.25 crore net by the end of Tuesday. The ensemble cast — featuring Akshaye Khanna, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, Rakesh Bedi, Sara Arjun, Gaurav Gera, and Saumya Tandon — has also been credited for the film’s sustained momentum.
The film’s second weekend proved historic. After posting the biggest second-Saturday numbers ever for a Bollywood release, Dhurandhar amassed nearly ₹204 crore during its second week alone. This makes it the first Hindi film to breach the ₹200 crore mark in Week 2 — a feat previously considered near impossible. Remarkably, the film is on track to finish its second week with collections rivaling or even surpassing its first-week total of ₹207.25 crore. – Dhurandhar Overtakes Dangal With Record Breaking Week 2 Performance
Leaves Dangal, Salaar and 2.0 Behind
With these numbers, Dhurandhar has achieved another landmark: it has overtaken Dangal’s lifetime domestic net collection of ₹387 crore, a record that stood untouched for six years. The film has now climbed into the elite club of Bollywood titles that have crossed ₹400 crore net in India, becoming only the seventh Hindi film to do so.
In the process, it has also gone past Prabhas’ Salaar (₹406 crore) and Rajinikanth’s 2.0 (₹407 crore), further solidifying its dominance at the box office. – Dhurandhar Overtakes Dangal With Record Breaking Week 2 Performance
Global Success Continues
The success isn’t limited to India. Earlier this week, Dhurandhar crossed the ₹550 crore mark worldwide and secured a spot among the top four films at the US box office during its second week — a rare achievement for a Hindi-language release.
With records falling almost daily, Dhurandhar is shaping up to be one of the most historic box office runs Bollywood has ever witnessed, firmly establishing itself as the biggest commercial triumph of the year.
