Dhurandhar 2 breaks records of Sunny Deol’s Border 2, and Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan (₹75.40 crore opening) and Pathaan (₹55–57 crore). Ranveer has also surpassed Stree 2 (₹54 crore) and Animal (₹64 crore) on Day 1 alone. The paid previews alone set a record — ₹43 crore from 19,180 paid preview shows, which is the highest ever preview day collection for an Indian movie, surpassing the previous record held by Pawan Kalyan’s They Call Him OG which raked in ₹25 crore.
Overseas Performance – Hindi Film Record Broken
The international performance of Dhurandhar 2 has been equally stunning. This Ranveer Singh starrer has managed to record the highest overseas collection for a Hindi film with an earning of ₹65 crore in overseas markets. In the United States alone, Dhurandhar 2 collected USD 2 million (around ₹18.6 crore) from Wednesday previews and debuted in 725 theatres ahead of its March 19 release. Trade estimates suggest USD 6 to 9 million over the opening weekend in the US — a landmark number for any Hindi film abroad.
Celeb Reactions and Word of Mouth
The celebrity buzz around Dhurandhar 2 has been extraordinary, amplifying the already massive word of mouth. Ram Charan called it “raw, gripping and impactful” and said Aditya Dhar “brings scale and emotion together seamlessly” and that Ranveer Singh “delivers a phenomenal performance.” Allu Arjun described the movie as “patriotism with swag” and noted that the viewing experience is filled with moments that invite applause. He praised the performances of R. Madhavan and Ranveer Singh, noting the versatility and dedication brought to their respective roles. Vijay Deverakonda also called it a significant moment for Indian cinema.
Can Dhurandhar 2 Cross ₹1000 Crore?
Trade circles report huge demand, with early estimates suggesting a ₹400 crore first weekend. Long-term tracking even hints at a ₹1,000 crore final figure. The film’s predecessor — the original Dhurandhar — was a 1300+ crore blockbuster, making the sequel’s target very realistic. Several trade analysts have praised the film for its narrative intensity and are already projecting massive box office numbers, with expectations that the movie is on track for a 1000 crore net collection. A strong Saturday hold and a packed Sunday will be critical in establishing whether the ₹1000 crore dream is achievable.
