Dhurandhar 2 box office collection day 5: Even as Dhurandhar The Revenge showed signs of slowing down after a thunderous opening weekend, the film regained momentum as the day progressed.

On Monday, the film witnessed a noticeable dip in footfalls and collections across India. However, riding high on its weekend surge, the film managed to hold its ground at the box office.

Dhurandhar 2 Monday box office collection

Dhurandhar 2 box office collection day 5: Ranveer Singh is seen as a spy in the film.

The Ranveer Singh-starrer earned ₹454 crore net in its opening weekend in India. This included ₹43 crore from paid previews alone, along with three days of ₹100+ crore, a first for Hindi cinema. By Sunday, the film was already among the highest-grossing films in Bollywood history. On Monday, the pace slowed down as the weekend ended, but picked up in the afternoon.

According to Sacnilk, by 10 PM on Monday, Dhurandhar 2 had earned ₹65 crore net. This takes its domestic haul to ₹519.12 crore. The film registered occupancy of over 30% in the morning shows on Monday, a staggering achievement in today’s times. This may be lower than the 80% occupancy it maintained over the weekend, but it is still impressive. The footfall is bound to increase during evening and night shows.

Dhurandhar 2 has already outgrossed KGF Chapter 2’s Hindi version ( ₹434 crore) and also surpassed the total lifetime earnings of Rajinikanth’s biggest hit, 2.0. The Shankar film had earned ₹404 crore in India upon its release. Now, it will look to cross the earnings of recent blockbusters like Gadar 2 ( ₹525 crore), Pathaan ( ₹543 crore), and Animal ( ₹556 crore).
