Dhurandhar 2 box office collection day 2: If day one was mayhem, day 2 was a sign of things to come for Dhurandhar: The Revenge. The spy thriller from Aditya Dhar has emerged as one of the biggest Indian films in years, shattering box office records across the board. After a staggering ₹145 crore opening day, the film held on to its momentum on Friday, not slowing down despite it being a weekday.

The Ranveer Singh-starrer earned ₹43 crore net in paid previews, adding a humongous ₹102 crore net on the opening day, for a record ₹145 crore haul on the first day. On Friday, even as the Ugadi and Gudi Padwa festivities ended, the film’s momentum did not slow down. Dhurandhar 2 hardly showed any dip throughout the day and earned ₹81 crore net across India, mostly on the back of the original Hindi version. This has taken the film’s total domestic collection to ₹226 crore. According to Sacnilk, Dhurandhar 2 is showing occupancy of 56% for the morning and afternoon shows on Friday, a huge achievement for a film this big on a weekday. Increased footfalls in the evening and night shows strengthened the film’s standing, pushing it past ₹220 crore quickly.

By Friday morning, Dhurandhar 2 had crossed ₹150 crore in domestic collections. This meant that it was able to surpass the lifetime domestic collections of two recent superstar-led films - Sikandar and The RajaSaab. Salman Khan’s Sikandar had earned ₹145 crore net, while Prabhas’ horror comedy The RajaSaab ended its run at ₹147 crore. The film then crossed ₹200 crore and surpased the lifetime collections of Hrithik Roshan's Fighter ( ₹212 crore).
