Dhurandhar 2 box office collection day 7: Ranveer Singh film races past ₹620 crore, beats Chhaava lifetime haul

Dhurandhar 2 box office collection day 7: The Ranveer Singh and Aditya Dhar film is yet again on the cusp of a new milestone on Wednesday.

Dhurandhar 2 box office collection day 7: Dhurandhar The Revenge is finally slowing down at the box office after a manic opening weekend and two strong days, including the biggest Monday in Indian cinema history. Yet, the momentum it carries is so strong that despite this ‘slowdown’, Dhurandhar 2’s first Wednesday tracked better than most films’ opening days.

Dhurandhar 2 Wednesday box office collection

The Ranveer Singh spy thriller had a mega opening on Thursday, following record-breaking collections from paid previews. The film saw three ₹100+ crore days in its four-day opening weekend, minting ₹454 crore net domestically. On Monday, the film saw a drop of just 43%, adding a strong ₹65 crore net to the figure. This was followed by ₹56 crore net collections on Tuesday, taking the film’s domestic haul to ₹575 crore net. On Wednesday, its 7th day in theatres, the action thriller again started on a strong note, even as the morning shows saw its lowest footfall ever.

According to Sacnilk, Dhurandhar 2 registered 18.92% occupancy across morning shows, 31.15% across afternoon and 40.85% across evening shows on Wednesday. This helped the film earn ₹47.70 crore net, taking its total domestic haul to ₹623.42 crore net in under seven days.

Dhurandhar 2 races to ₹600 crore

On Tuesday, Dhurandhar 2 outgrossed Sunny Deol’s Gadar 2, Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan, and Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal. That it surpassed the lifetime collections of these all-time hits in its first weeks speaks volumes about the film’s pace. On Wednesday, it breezed past the ₹600 crore mark by afternoon, and also surpassed the final collection of Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava ( ₹601 crore). It will surpass the total haul of horror-comedy Stree 2 ( ₹627 crore) on Thursday morning.

Once it does that, only one Bollywood film will stand ahead of Dhurandhar 2 in domestic earnings - the film’s part 1 itself. Released in December, Dhurandhar set new industry benchmarks with its ₹895 crore haul in India.
