Dhurandhar 2 Box Office Day 39: Secures 2nd Spot in Top 5 with Rs. 3.25 Cr Sunday; Just 11 Cr Away from Surpassing Baahubali 2 Worldwide by 7th Weekend

Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge collected 3.25 crore nett approx on its sixth Sunday, bringing its total India net collection to 1,130.59 crore. With a worldwide gross currently standing at 1,777.52 crore, the film is now just 11 crore away from surpassing the 1,788.06 crore lifetime record of Baahubali 2: The Conclusion. Once this gap is bridged, which is expected to happen by the end of its sixth week, the film will officially become the second highest-grossing Indian movie of all time globally, trailing only Dangal.

The sixth weekend trajectory for Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has been exceptionally steady, with the film collecting 1.55 crore on Friday, 3.00 crore on Saturday, and 3.40 crore on Sunday across all languages. This 7.95 crore weekend total, which was driven by a 3.25 crore contribution from the Hindi version on Sunday, indicates a strong grip for a film in its thirty-ninth day. When compared to the 19.52 crore earned throughout the fifth week, the film is now on pace to wrap its sixth week in the range of 11 crore to 12 crore. Since the gap to surpass the 1,788.06 crore lifetime record of Baahubali 2 currently stands at approximately 10.50 crore, the definitive jump to become the second highest-grossing Indian film of all time is likely to occur by the end of the sixth week itself or by the dawn of the seventh weekend. The focus remains on the Monday hold; a collection staying above the 1 crore nett mark will ensure the milestone is breached before the next cycle begins.

The focus remains on the Monday hold, where a collection above 1 crore nett is the benchmark required to keep the film on its record-breaking pace. Looking at the ticketing data, the sixth weekend saw a total of 157K tickets booked on BookMyShow, with 51.94K tickets sold on Sunday alone. The cumulative ticket sales on the platform have now reached a massive 1.79 Crore (17,996,590). For today, the national chains have recorded an advance of 6,200 tickets sold with a gross of 17 Lakhs across 1,400 shows. While the live morning collections are currently at 0.03 crore, the strength in the advance ticketing suggests that if the spot bookings pick up during the evening shows, the film can target that crucial 1 crore mark. Since the show count has naturally tightened to 350 shows in some regions while maintaining a larger presence in others, the maintenance of this occupancy will be vital to ensure the Baahubali 2 milestone is breached by the seventh weekend.

Analyzing the occupancy data, Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge recorded an overall 29.34 per cent Hindi occupancy on Sunday, April 26. The film saw its strongest performance in the afternoon shows at 42.91 per cent and evening shows at 38.94 per cent. While it remains behind the record-holding 5.00 crore collection of Stree 2, which had a 33.28 per cent occupancy on its thirty-ninth day, it has successfully pulled ahead of Jawan and Pushpa 2, which earned 2.09 crore and 2.08 crore respectively. The surge from 3.00 crore on Saturday to 3.25 crore on Sunday indicates that audiences are still frequenting the nearly 3,000 shows currently playing across India.

Basically, the sixth weekend has provided the necessary cushion to target the all-time number two spot globally. The upcoming weekday holds will determine whether the film finishes its run closer to the 1,800 crore mark or pushes even higher. If the film continues to sustain with drops of less than 15 per cent day-on-day, there is a clear path to adding another 20-25 crore to its final total. For now, the focus remains on the immediate 11 crore gap, which by natural course of trajectory is expected to be bridged by the time the film completes its seventh weekend. Crossing this threshold will officially cement Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge as the second biggest Indian film in history, trailing only Dangal on the worldwide stage.
