As of April 13, 2026, the combined worldwide gross of the "Dhurandhar" duology has officially surpassed the Rs 3,000 crore mark. This achievement makes it the first Indian film series to reach this milestone, achieved in just 25 days.
"Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge", the sequel to "Dhurandhar", has grossed approximately Rs 1,712.98 crore worldwide as of Day 25. It has notably become the first Hindi film to cross Rs 1,000 crore net in the domestic market alone.
The first instalment grossed roughly Rs 1,300+ crore worldwide during its theatrical run.
"Dhurandhar 2" is currently chasing the lifetime records of "Pushpa 2: The Rule" (Rs 1,742 crore) to become the third-highest-grossing Indian film of all time.
When looking at the weekly performance of both films, the sequel saw an unprecedented opening week, becoming the first Hindi film to cross the Rs 1,000 crore net mark domestically.
In terms of its domestic net collection, "Dhurandhar 2" did Rs 674.17 crore in its first week, followed by Rs 263.65 crore in the second week, followed by Rs 110.60 crore in the third week, and Rs 35.25 crore in the fourth week. The total net in India stands at 1,083.67 crore as of now.
"Dhurandhar" (Part 1), on the other hand, was noted for maintaining exceptional longevity at the box office, with its third and fourth weeks actually outperforming those of the sequel. It earned Rs 218.00 crore in its first week, followed by Rs 261.50 crore in the second week, followed by Rs 189.30 crore in the third week, Rs 115.70 crore in the fourth week, and Rs 56.35 crore in the fifth week, taking the India domestic net gross to Rs 840.20 crore.
"Dhurandhar 2" earned more in its first week (Rs 674.17 crore) than the original did in its first two weeks combined (Rs 479.5 crore).
The first film showed a rare upward trend in Week 2 (+19.95%), whereas the sequel saw a sharp drop after its massive opening.
In comparison, "Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge" benefited significantly more from front-loaded earnings and massive opening hype compared to "Dhurandhar" (Part 1). While the first film relied on strong word-of-mouth and steady weekday holds for its success, the sequel depended on pre-established franchise-hype, a wide pan-India release, and aggressive early marketing to generate the bulk of its revenue in the first few days. And we must remember that it achieved all this without a GCC and China release.
"Dhurandhar 2" collected roughly Rs 575–620 crore net domestically in its first seven days, which is nearly three times the Rs 218 crore first-week collection of the original.
When taking the earnings from Day 1 and previews into consideration, the sequel recorded opening gross of over Rs 96 crore, which is a 265% increase over the original’s day one earnings (Rs 28 – 29 crore).
While "Dhurandhar 2" has surpassed the total lifetime earnings of the first film, trade reports highlight that the first film had stronger "slow-burn" momentum, whereas the second is characterised by a "historic" opening and massive early collections.
