Dhurandhar 2 box office update

Dhurandhar 2 had crossed the ₹1000 crore mark worldwide in its first week. The film broke all box-office records in its first weekend, registering net earnings of ₹100+ crore in its opening three days. The momentum carried over to the second week as well. Now, the Ranveer Singh-starrer has started its third week on a positive note. On Friday, its 16th day in theatres, the spy thriller earned ₹21.55 crore net domestically. This is a 20% jump from its Thursday haul of ₹18.30 crore, signifying promising signs for the film as it nears a historic ₹1000 crore net in India. After Friday, Dhurandhar 2 has earned ₹959 crore net ( ₹1148 crore gross) in India.

Overseas, the film has been an equally big phenomenon. It had a strong $7-million start, raking in over $22 million in its first weekend internationally. In its second week, it crossed the $30-million mark even as daily earnings dipped below $1-million-a-day mark. Dhurandhar 2 added just over $500k in the overseas markets on Friday. This takes its international gross to over $40 million. It is now the highest-grossing Indian film in many overseas markets, including North America, where it broke Baahubali 2’s 9-year-old record.

Dhurandhar 2’s global gross earnings now stand at ₹1523 crore. It is steadily closing in on Pushpa 2 ( ₹1724 crore) and Baahubali 2 ( ₹1788 crore). Given it has a solid third weekend, it can reach that mark before the end of this month. However, it may not reach the ₹2000 crore mark or overtake Aamir Khan's Dangal as the highest-grossing Indian film of all time. The 2016 release had earned ₹2070 crore worldwide, driven by a windfall in China.
