Dhurandhar 2 box office collection day 5: Ranveer Singh film refuses to slow; crosses ₹500 crore to beat Baahubali 2
Dhurandhar 2 box office collection day 5: Ranveer Singh's film has already surpassed the total lifetime earnings of Rajinikanth’s biggest hit, 2.0.
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. After its release on March 19, the Aditya Dhar directorial has shattered multiple box office records with ease. 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
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 now become the fastest Indian film to cross the ₹500 crore net mark, ahead of Pushpa 2 and Baahubali 2. It has also crossed the all-time record set by Baahubali 2’s Hindi version. The SS Rajamouli film earned ₹511 crore net in Hindi in 2017, a mark that remained unbeaten for six years.
Dhurandhar 2 beats 2.0, KGF 2; sets sights on Pathaan, Animal
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).
