Mumbai, March 28 - Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge is continuing its historic box office march, setting new benchmarks with each passing day. The film has crossed a massive 700 crore net collection in Hindi, further cementing its position as one of the biggest blockbusters in Indian cinema. On its second Saturday, the film witnessed another explosive surge, collecting approximately 58 crore net in Hindi alone. This phenomenal jump highlights the film's extraordinary hold and growing momentum, especially in mass circuits where occupancy has remained exceptionally strong. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) What makes this run even more remarkable is the consistency. Unlike typical big-ticket releases that slow down after the first week, Dhurandhar 2 2 has shown an upward trend during its second weekend. The strong word-of-mouth, repeat value, and high-octane appeal have played a crucial role in sustaining such unprecedented numbers. With 700 crore net already in the bag (731+ crore in 10 days), the film is now aggressively marching towards the historic 1000 crore net milestone in Hindi. If the current trend continues, it is only a matter of time before the film achieves this rare feat—something no Hindi film has managed at this scale before. In all versions, it has earned 775+ net so far. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The coming days, especially Sunday and the weekdays that follow, will be crucial in determining how fast the film reaches this landmark. There is a cricket tournament, the IPL has started today, which might impact the collection. However, going by its current trajectory, Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge is not just aiming for records; it is rewriting them entirely.

Mumbai, March 28 - Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge is rewriting box office history in North America with an extraordinary run that shows no signs of slowing down. The espionage actioner has reached a massive $19.40 million mark, powered by a strong $1.3 million second Friday. With this latest surge, Aditya Dhar's directorial film has officially surpassed Prabhas' Kalki 2898 AD's lifetime gross of $18.60 million. What makes this run even more remarkable is the pace at which the film is setting new benchmarks. The sequel is expected to overtake Dhurandhar's $20.60 million total by the end of Saturday, thereby becoming the second-highest-grossing Indian film in North America. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The biggest milestone may arrive sooner than expected. Trade projections suggest that by Sunday, the film is likely to cross Baahubali 2: The Conclusion's $20.80+ million record, which would crown Dhurandhar 2 as the highest-grossing Indian film of all time in North America. BB2 has been the number 1 film there for nearly a decade, but the time is up for it to make way for another mighty blockbuster. The film's sensational performance can be attributed to its strong word-of-mouth and repeat value. With such unstoppable momentum, Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge is not just breaking records; it is setting a new benchmark for Indian cinema in overseas markets. All eyes are now on the weekend numbers, which could officially mark the film's entry into the history books as the biggest Indian blockbuster North America has ever seen.

Mumbai, March 28 - Ryan Gosling-fronted sci-fi space film Project Hail Mary is slowly turning the tide at the Indian box office despite facing the massive dominance of Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge, and it began with a postponement by a week to avoid a direct clash with the Ranveer Singh-starrer. The film initially struggled to secure premium showcasing, getting just 6 IMAX shows across the country due to the overwhelming screen hold of Dhurandhar 2. However, what followed next has been quite remarkable. With strong audience response and growing curiosity around the film, demand surged rapidly. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) In no time, IMAX shows for Project Hail Mary were increased from just 6 to nearly 60, a tenfold jump that clearly reflects rising public interest. This sharp increase is significant, and was reflected in its box office performance when it witnessed a nearly 30% jump in collections on day 2. The film opened to around 2.70 crore gross in India, and jumped to 3.50 crore on day 2, pushing the total India gross to around 6.20 crores in 2 days. While the numbers are not big, it is quite satisfactory for an original sci-fi film, with every growing upward trend. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) While the damage caused by Dhurandhar 2 is real, Project Hail Mary is proving its mettle by steadily expanding its footprint. The film's performance indicates that strong content and positive word-of-mouth can still carve out space, even during a full-blown box office tsunami. Stay tuned...

Mumbai, March 28 - Director Aditya Dhar's two-part Dhurandhar franchise, which is based on true events, has written the box office history with the second part, Dhurandhar: The Revenge, literally taking things to the next level with record-breaking performance. It is the highest-grossing Indian film franchise with 2500+ crores worldwide and is still going strong. While Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has been hailed as one of the most iconic films by audiences and critics alike, it is not sitting well with some filmmakers, and one of them is Tamil director Vetrimaaran. The national award-winning filmmaker is reportedly not happy with the political tone, particularly with a short episode of the movie where demonetization was given credit for reduced Pakistan-sponsored terror activities in India. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) During a recent interaction, Vetrimaaran spoke about the growing influence of alleged propaganda in shaping public perception and memory. He said, "Today, everything turns into propaganda. Propaganda has the power to influence memory. We all know who was most affected by demonetization and who lost their lives standing in queues. But that impact changed through hate propaganda." While he did not directly name Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge, many netizens were quick to link his comments to the ongoing criticism surrounding the film's political undertones and narrative approach. The statement spread rapidly online, leading to a sharp divide in reactions. A section of users saw his comments as an indirect dig at a blockbuster film, and they strongly defended Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Many social media users went a step further, accusing the filmmaker of jealousy, arguing that such criticism often surfaces when a film achieves massive commercial success. While Vetrimaaran criticised the film, fellow Tamil director S. Shankar had praised the film and called it an "astounding experience"

Mumbai, March 28 - Filmmaker Mohit Suri has shared an interesting behind-the-scenes insight into the marketing strategy of his upcoming film Saiyaara, revealing that none other than Shah Rukh Khan personally praised the team's unconventional approach. In an interaction, Suri disclosed that the decision to keep debutants Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda away from excessive media exposure and promotional appearances was a conscious and carefully thought-out move. Interestingly, this strategy caught the attention of Shah Rukh Khan, who called it the "best thing" the team could have done. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) In today's film industry, aggressive promotions, interviews, and social media visibility are often seen as essential tools to build hype. However, Saiyaara chose to take a different route by maintaining an element of mystery around its lead pair. According to Suri, the idea was to let the audience discover the actors fresh on the big screen rather than overexposing them beforehand. This approach not only builds curiosity but also allows viewers to connect with the characters without preconceived notions. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) What makes this strategy even more noteworthy is the endorsement from Shah Rukh Khan, a superstar known for his sharp understanding of audience psychology and film marketing. His appreciation has added credibility to the film's promotional approach. Suri revealed that SRK's reaction reassured the team that they were on the right track, especially when taking a risk in an industry driven by visibility and hype. Produced by Yash Raj Films, Saiyaara proved to be a massive blockbuster, grossing 570 crores at the worldwide box office. It was one of the highest-grossing Indian films of 2025, and by far the biggest-grossing love story of Indian cinema.

Box office records are usually measured by opening day, opening weekend or lifetime collections, but one of the strongest indicators of a film's box office strength is how long it can sustain blockbuster-level daily collections. In the Hindi box office context, maintaining ₹40 crore net per day is considered a blockbuster-level benchmark, and only a handful of films in history have managed to cross this number for multiple consecutive days. With Dhurandhar 2 maintaining ₹40+ crore Hindi net for 8 consecutive days, the film has now entered an elite list of Indian blockbusters that sustained massive daily collections for an extended period. In fact, the 8-day Hindi net streak puts Dhurandhar 2 at the very top when compared to other major blockbusters like Pushpa 2, Baahubali 2, Jawan and Animal. Pushpa: The Rule (Pushpa 2) maintained ₹40+ crore Hindi net collections for 5 consecutive days from Day 1 to Day 5, excluding premiere shows. The film had a massive opening and strong weekend hold, but collections dropped below ₹40 crore Hindi net after the first Monday, which ended its streak at five days. Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, which was the biggest Indian blockbuster for many years, crossed the ₹40 crore Hindi net mark for its first four days. The film collected above ₹40 crore Hindi net from Day 1 to Day 4 before weekday drops brought the daily Hindi numbers below the ₹40 crore mark. Jawan also had a very strong extended opening weekend in the Hindi market, collecting above ₹40 crore Hindi net for its first four days. However, like most films, the weekday drop after the weekend meant that the ₹40 crore Hindi net streak lasted only for the extended opening weekend period. Animal, powered by strong word of mouth, also maintained the ₹40 crore Hindi net level for four days, including a strong Monday hold, before collections dropped further on the following days. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Dhurandhar 2, Pushpa 2, Baahubali 2, Jawan, Animal :₹40 Crore Plus Hindi Net Days – Day Wise Comparison Day Dhurandhar 2 Pushpa 2 Baahubali 2 Jawan Animal Day 1 ₹ 99.10 Cr ₹ 70.3 Cr ₹ 41 Cr ₹ 65.5 Cr ₹ 54.75 Cr Day 2 ₹ 78.94 Cr ₹ 56.9 Cr ₹ 40.5 Cr ₹ 46.23 Cr ₹ 58.37 Cr Day 3 ₹ 105 Cr ₹ 73.5 Cr ₹ 46.5 Cr ₹ 68.72 Cr ₹ 63.46 Cr Day 4 ₹ 107 Cr ₹ 85 Cr ₹ 40.25 Cr ₹ 71.63 Cr ₹ 40.06 Cr Day 5 ₹ 60 Cr ₹ 46.4 Cr Below 40 Below 40 Below 40 Day 6 ₹ 52 Cr Below 40 - - - Day 7 ₹ 45 Cr - - - - Day 8 ₹ 46 Cr - - - - Total ₹40 Cr+ Days 8 Days 5 Days 4 Days 4 Days 4 Days The table clearly shows the difference between opening weekend performance and sustained weekday performance in the Hindi market. Most films like Pushpa 2, Baahubali 2, Jawan and Animal crossed ₹40 crore mainly during their opening weekend and early weekdays, but the Hindi net collections dropped below ₹40 crore after the first Monday or Tuesday. Dhurandhar 2, however, continued to collect above ₹40 crore Hindi net even during the weekdays and into the second Thursday, which is why its streak extended to eight days, significantly higher than the other films in the comparison. When we compare all these films, Dhurandhar 2 clearly stands out because maintaining ₹40+ crore Hindi net not just over a weekend but across weekdays for multiple days is extremely difficult. Weekend numbers are driven by advance booking and opening hype, but weekday collections depend heavily on word of mouth, repeat audience and sustained occupancy levels. This is what makes the 8-day ₹40 crore Hindi net streak particularly significant. It indicates not just a big opening, but sustained box office momentum across the first full week and beyond. Very few films in the Hindi box office have managed to sustain blockbuster-level daily collections for such a long continuous period. The comparison also highlights an important box office trend. Many films open very big, but sustaining high collections after the weekend is what separates big openers from historic blockbusters. In that sense, the ₹40 crore Hindi net streak is a better indicator of box office strength than just the opening day number. With Dhurandhar 2 now achieving 8 consecutive days above ₹40 crore Hindi net, the film has set a new benchmark for sustained daily collections in the Hindi box office. Whether future films can match or surpass this streak will be an interesting trend to watch, but as of now, Dhurandhar 2 has firmly placed itself among the strongest sustained performers in the Hindi box office in recent years.

When we analyse box office numbers closely, the real story is not just about the total India net collection, but about how much each region contributes to that total. The extended week performance of Dhurandhar 2, Jawan and Animal clearly shows that regional markets are now playing a crucial role in defining the true pan-India success of a film. Dhurandhar 2 had a historic extended week, collecting ₹674.17 Cr India net, and even crossed the ₹500 Cr mark in just 5 days, which shows its massive dominance in the Hindi belt. However, when we shift the focus to regional contribution, the story changes significantly. One of the biggest reasons for this was the confusion during the film's release in regional languages. The censor certificates for Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam and Kannada versions were not acquired on time, which led to premiere show cancellations across multiple regions. In many places, audiences were either asked to watch the Hindi version or take refunds. Although the film released on Thursday, the proper regional rollout effectively began only from Saturday. This delay cost the film crucial opening momentum in South Indian markets. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Because of this, the regional contribution to Dhurandhar 2's total remained limited during the extended week, even though the film was performing at record levels overall. Dhurandhar 2 vs Jawan vs Animal: Extended Week Regional Box Office Collection (India Net) Movie Telugu Tamil Kannada Malayalam Regional Total Total India Net Regional % Share Jawan ₹ 18.04 Cr ₹ 23.86 Cr - - ₹ 41.90 Cr ₹ 389.88 Cr 10.75% Dhurandhar 2 ₹ 25.27 Cr ₹ 11.20 Cr ₹ 0.88 Cr ₹ 0.78 Cr ₹ 38.13 Cr ₹ 674.17 Cr 5.65% Animal ₹ 33.45 Cr ₹ 2.73 Cr ₹ 0.52 Cr ₹ 0.07 Cr ₹ 36.77 Cr ₹ 337.58 Cr 10.89% Note: Dhurandhar 2 and Jawan collections are for 8-day extended week, while Animal collections are for 7-day opening week. If we look at the table, Jawan clearly leads in terms of absolute regional contribution, followed by Dhurandhar 2 and Animal. However, when we look at percentage share, both Jawan and Animal are significantly ahead of Dhurandhar 2, which highlights the difference in market penetration. Jawan, powered by Shah Rukh Khan and directed by Atlee, delivered one of the most balanced regional performances among Hindi films in recent years. A major reason behind the strong Tamil numbers was Atlee's massive connection with the Tamil Nadu market. Since Atlee is one of the biggest commercial directors in Tamil cinema, the Tamil version of Jawan was not treated like a dubbed film but almost like a straight Tamil commercial film. This strong director–market connection helped Jawan perform extremely well in Tamil Nadu and across South Indian markets, significantly boosting its regional contribution. Similarly, Animal performed exceptionally well in the Telugu market primarily because of director Sandeep Reddy Vanga. He already had a massive fan base in Telugu states due to his previous work, and because of this strong recall value, the Telugu dubbed version of Animal opened strongly and sustained well during the first week. This clearly shows that the regional performance of Animal was driven by the director's market pull rather than just dubbing. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) In contrast, Dhurandhar 2 did not have a strong regional market face like Atlee in Tamil or Sandeep Reddy Vanga in Telugu. Additionally, the delayed release in regional languages further impacted its performance. The film lost crucial early days in South Indian markets, which are extremely important for building momentum. Because of these factors, the regional contribution percentage of Dhurandhar 2 remained lower despite its record-breaking overall numbers. The milestone timeline also highlights how differently these films connected with audiences. Dhurandhar 2 raced past the ₹500 Cr mark in just 5 days, showcasing the sheer strength of its opening and immediate audience pull. Jawan reached the milestone on Day 13, while Animal crossed it on Day 17, both reflecting strong and steady growth supported by multiple markets. What this comparison ultimately underlines is how evolving audience dynamics and market positioning are shaping box office trends today. Factors like director familiarity in certain regions, dubbing acceptance, release planning, and early momentum all play a crucial role in determining how widely a film performs across languages. At the same time, the bigger takeaway is that strong content and audience connection can go beyond regional boundaries. When a film truly resonates, it has the potential to perform across markets irrespective of language, as audiences today are more open than ever to exploring cinema beyond their primary language. In the end, while each film followed a different path in its extended week journey, all three highlight an important shift in Indian cinema — success is no longer confined to one region, and the true scale of a film is defined by how well it connects with audiences across the country.

Bengaluru, March 28 - All is not seem to be well between the Kantara: Chapter 1 team and actor Rishab Shetty, whose recent Instagram activities have ignited a wave of speculations among fans. Released last year, the film was a huge hit, grossing over 800 crores worldwide, and became one of the highest-grossing films of 2025. Over the last few weeks, there have been rumours that things are not good between the makers. According to reports, Rishab Shetty recently unfollowed the Kantara production house, Hombale Films, on Instagram, even though he continues to follow the studio head, Vijay Kiragandur. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Now, the actor has also allegedly unfollowed Kantara: Chapter 1 actress Rukmini Vasanth on the platform. While there is no official confirmation out yet, the recent social media activities hint that all is now well between them. However, it is worth mentioning that there are no such reports of misconduct on the film's set and outside it. About Kantara: Chapter 1 Film Directed and headlined by Rishab Shetty, Kantara Chapter 1 is the prequel to the 2022 film Kantara.

Mumbai, March 28 - The box office landscape of Indian cinema has a new king. The two-part Dhurandhar franchise has emerged as the highest-grossing Indian film franchise, surpassing the long-standing record held by the Baahubali series. However, Baahubali 2: The Conclusion remains the biggest Indian grosser worldwide (without China). Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge continues its phenomenal run at the global box office, having grossed around 1140 crore worldwide in 9 days so far. When combined with the massive 1307 crore total of the first film, Dhurandhar, the cumulative earnings of the franchise now stand at an astounding 2447 crore worldwide. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) This historic total pushes the Dhurandhar series ahead of the previous benchmark set by the Baahubali franchise, which had amassed approximately 2438 crores globally across its two parts — Baahubali: The Beginning (650 crores) and Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (1788 crores). What makes this achievement even more remarkable is the pace at which it has been accomplished. While Baahubali’s record stood tall for years as an almost unbreakable benchmark, Dhurandhar has managed to edge past it within just two films, powered by the extraordinary performance of both parts. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) With Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge still going strong in theatres and showing no signs of slowing down, the franchise is expected to widen the gap further in the coming days. The film will take the series past the 2500 crore milestone today (10 days), and will be around 3000 crores worldwide gross by next week. The rise of the Dhurandhar series marks a significant shift in Indian box office dynamics, signalling the arrival of a new benchmark for film series in the country. As things stand, Dhurandhar isn't just a blockbuster franchise anymore — it is now officially the biggest in Indian cinema history.

Mumbai, March 27 - Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge is simply unstoppable at the box office. After taking a thunderous start, the film has now gone on to register the biggest extended opening week in Indian cinema history, beating the previous best of Pushpa 2: The Rule by a solid margin. The Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge wave refused to slow down even on weekdays. After a monstrous opening weekend, the film held extraordinarily well from Monday to Thursday, something rarely seen at this scale. The extended first week total of 1079 crore gross has comfortably crossed the previous record set by Pushpa 2: The Rule's 1059 crore, establishing a new benchmark that will be tough to match anytime soon. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) What's more impressive is that the film has done this primarily on the back of its Hindi version, which is putting up historic numbers day after day. The mass circuits are on fire, while multiplexes are showing equally strong occupancy, a rare combination that signals an all-time blockbuster in motion. Breaking down the collection, Dhurandhar 2 has minted 800+ crores gross at the domestic box office, while overseas collection is 274 crores in 8 days. With this, it has crossed the lifetime total of Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan, which minted 1055 crores worldwide. But tomorrow, it will beat Jawan's 1160 crores to become the third biggest Bollywood grosser of all-time, behind Dhurandhar (1307 crores) and Dangal (2070 crores).

Dhurandhar 2 The Revenge is currently rewriting the rulebook for Indian cinema on the global stage by maintaining an unprecedented level of theatrical resilience. The film has managed to collect over 40 crore nett on every single day of its release so far, marking eight consecutive days above this threshold—a feat that no other blockbuster in history has sustained. While the initial records for opening day and opening week were expected to fall, the sheer stability of this run suggests that we are looking at a historic benchmark that will be difficult to replicate. After its first eight days, the film has established a massive lead over previous opening week champions like Pushpa 2 and Jawan, proving that the audience demand is not just front-loaded but has deep organic roots across all territories. The global performance of the Ranveer Singh starrer is functioning at a level that was previously the exclusive domain of the biggest event films from the Khans or the visual spectacles of SS Rajamouli. Recording an overseas gross of 28.90 million dollars, approximately 274 crore rupees, in its first eight days, the film is effectively dismantling the established international order. What makes these numbers truly sensational is that they have been achieved without a release in the Gulf and Middle East markets, which are typically primary revenue drivers for Bollywood. When normalizing the data to exclude Gulf collections for a fair comparison, Dhurandhar 2 has already stormed into the all-time top five overseas grossers in Indian cinema history within just its opening week. Top 10 Indian Grossers Overseas (Excluding Gulf / Middle East)RANKMOVIE NAMEOVERSEAS GROSS1Baahubali 2 The Conclusion$ 36.65M2Pathaan$ 35.10M3Dhurandhar$ 32.60M4Jawan$ 30.30M5Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge$ 28.90M (8 Days)6Kalki 2898 AD$ 27.70M7Pushpa 2: The Rule$ 25.85M8Animal$ 25.20M9Padmaavat$ 24.62M10RRR$ 22.68M If the current momentum holds through the second weekend, the film is all set to topple the lifetime benchmarks of Jawan and the original Dhurandhar by tomorrow evening. With the overseas gross currently standing at 28.90 million dollars, it needs just a small push to surpass the 35.10 million dollar mark of Pathaan and the legendary 36.65 million dollar record of Baahubali 2. Given the massive pre-sales and the lack of any significant competition, Dhurandhar 2 is on course to emerge as the undisputed number one Indian grosser overseas (without Gulf) within its second week of release, setting a new global record that could remain unchallenged for a very long time. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The performance in individual territories is nothing short of a theatrical hurricane. In Germany, a market that has long been a Shah Rukh Khan fortress, Dhurandhar 2 has clocked 705K Euros in eight days, already leapfrogging the lifetime collections of Jawan and the first Dhurandhar. Similarly, the film has entered the A$5 million club in Australia in record time, effectively crossing the lifetime business of Ranbir Kapoors Animal in just eight days to emerge as the second highest-grosser in the region. The global footprint is massive, with the total overseas gross reaching a staggering 28.90 million dollars (274 crore) in just eight days, driven heavily by the North American market where the business has already cruised past the 17 million dollar mark. Even in Singapore, the film is on the verge of entering the prestigious 1 million dollar club, driven by an extraordinary weekday hold. With second-weekend pre-sales gaining massive momentum, the film is on track to set a level of carnage in the international circuit that might remain untouched for years. On its eighth day, which was a working Thursday, the movie managed to collect 49.70 crore nett across 19,493 shows in India, recording a rare weekday growth of 1.9 percent over the previous day net of 48.75 crore. This brings the total India net collection to 674.17 crore and the total India gross to a massive 805.32 crore. Overseas, the film raked in 12.08 crore on Day 8, pushing its total international gross to 274.00 crore and the worldwide gross collection to a staggering 1,079.32 crore. While ticket price hikes in premium multiplexes have provided a boost, you still need an unprecedented volume of audience footfalls to turn up and pay those prices for eight consecutive days. The film is expected to breach the 700 crore India net mark by Sunday evening, making the dream of a historic 1000 crore India net target appear more feasible with every passing day.
