Mumbai, March 31 – Director Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has stormed past the 800 crore net mark and is now within touching distance of beating its predecessor (840 crores) to become the highest net-grossing Hindi film of all time. What makes this feat truly historic is the pace – the sequel is set to achieve this milestone in under two weeks, a record-shattering run by all standards.
The Ranveer Singh-starrer is on a box office run unlike anything we have seen before. From delivering the biggest opening weekend and first week to smashing records again with the biggest second weekend, Dhurandhar 2 isn’t just breaking records; it is creating its own league by setting entirely new benchmarks for Hindi cinema.
On its second Monday, the spy action thriller registered a phenomenal hold, collecting 23+ crores net. That was enough for it to surpass the lifetime Hindi net collection of Pushpa 2: The Rule (812 crores), starring Allu Arjun, in just 12 days. The film’s total now stands at approximately 818 crores net in Hindi, just 22 crores away from overtaking Dhurandhar to claim the top spot.
While Dhurandhar 2 is on the brink of rewriting history, it was the original Dhurandhar that laid the foundation of the franchise’s dominance. Notably, the first film still holds one of the most remarkable weekday records, including the biggest second Monday ever with 30.50 crores net. It remains one of the rare films whose second week outperformed its opening week, a benchmark that continues to stand tall.

The weekday hold of Dhurandhar is widely regarded as one of the strongest in recent Indian cinema history. Although Dhurandhar 2 has shown a more front-loaded trend, its day-wise performance indicates a similarly strong trajectory. The next big milestone for the sequel is the prestigious 1000 crore net club, which it could potentially enter as early as its third weekend.
