Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge Storms Past ₹1,000 Crore Worldwide in Just Seven Days

Ranveer Singh’s spy thriller becomes the joint fastest Indian film ever to breach the four-digit crore mark globally, rewriting box office history and cementing Bollywood’s most formidable new franchise

Mumbai, 26 March 2026 — Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has done what few films in Indian cinema history have managed — it has crossed ₹1,000 crore at the worldwide box office in just seven days. Released on March 19, the spy action sequel stormed past the monumental milestone, emerging as the joint fastest Indian film ever to achieve this feat and stunning both the trade and audiences alike.

The film, directed by Aditya Dhar and produced by Jio Studios and B62 Studios, stars Ranveer Singh in the lead role alongside Sara Arjun, Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, R. Madhavan, Yami Gautam and Danish Pandor. It continues the story of an undercover Indian intelligence agent infiltrating criminal and political networks in Pakistan while avenging the 26/11 attacks — a premise that has clearly resonated with audiences across the country and abroad.

The opening numbers were staggering. The film earned ₹43 crore on its premiere day (Wednesday), followed by ₹102.55 crore on its first Thursday — its biggest single day — before collecting ₹80.72 crore on Friday, ₹113 crore on Saturday and ₹114.85 crore on Sunday. The weekend haul alone was enough to establish it as one of the biggest Bollywood openings in history.

What has been equally remarkable is the film’s weekday hold, which defied the usual post-weekend fade. Even on weekdays — typically a slowdown phase for most releases — Dhurandhar 2 continued to dominate ticket counters, drawing steady footfall and maintaining strong momentum across circuits. After adding around ₹56.55 crore on Tuesday, the film’s total domestic net collection had surged to approximately ₹575.67 crore in just six days.

The domestic dominance has been driven almost entirely by Hindi-speaking audiences, and the numbers put the Dhurandhar franchise in a class entirely its own. The Dhurandhar franchise is now the only series where both Part 1 and Part 2 have crossed the ₹500 crore mark in Hindi net alone — a feat neither Baahubali nor Pushpa achieved in their home languages individually. Part 1 of the franchise had previously collected ₹840.20 crore in Hindi net, and the sequel is tracking towards a comparable, if not superior, run.

Breaking down the global haul, the film grossed over ₹745 crore in India and over ₹260 crore in overseas markets in its first seven days. With that, Dhurandhar 2 became the 10th Indian film of all time and only the fifth Bollywood film — after Pathaan, Jawan, Dhurandhar and Dangal — to cross ₹1,000 crore worldwide.

The overseas performance has been particularly noteworthy. In its first four days alone, the film dethroned Pushpa 2 in overseas collections and crossed the ₹200 crore mark internationally — a rare achievement for a Hindi-language production. Notably, the first Dhurandhar had taken 21 to 22 days to cross the same ₹1,000 crore worldwide milestone, making the sequel’s seven-day achievement a dramatic acceleration of pace.

Benchmark comparisons have flooded trade circles. Dhurandhar 2 has clearly outpaced Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal, which collected ₹337.58 crore in its opening week — itself considered a blockbuster at the time. On BookMyShow, the film sold over 1.3 crore tickets, making it the highest-selling Hindi film on the platform — a ticketing record that underlines both its urban pull and its mass-circuit penetration.

The IMDb popularity charts tell the same story of a cultural moment in full swing. Director Aditya Dhar climbed seven spots to top the weekly chart, Sara Arjun rose from tenth to second, and Ranveer Singh jumped from eighth to third most popular celebrity of the week globally on IMDb. Arjun Rampal, playing antagonist Major Iqbal, also entered the top ten.

With the film still in only its first week and the Eid holiday weekend approaching, trade analysts expect collections to climb further. Whether it can eventually challenge or surpass Pathaan’s lifetime Bollywood record remains an open question — but for now, Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has planted its flag as the defining box office story of 2026.
