Mumbai, March 31 - In less than two weeks, director Aditya Dhar's spy action thriller Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has outnumbered its predecessor to become the highest-grossing film in Hindi at the domestic box office, and is now marching towards the 1000 crore club. Released four months ago, Dhurandhar stormed the box office with record-breaking numbers and eventually became the biggest Hindi net grosser with 840 crores, beating Pushpa 2's 812 crores. However, the record didn't last long as Dhurandhar 2 has climbed to number 1 in just 13 days. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The Ranveer Singh-starrer scored around 818 crores net in 12 days, and on its second Tuesday (13th day), the film is looking to earn around 25 crores in Hindi. This will take its total Hindi net past the first film, effectively making it the biggest Hindi blockbuster of all-time. The pace at which Dhurandhar: The Revenge is breaking records is remarkable. While it always looked like it would become the biggest blockbuster after the massive success of Dhurandhar, no one saw it doing this in under two weeks, which is something for the history books.

Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge is currently rewriting box office history and has already entered the all-time top 5 highest grossing Indian films worldwide. After Day 12, the film has collected approximately ₹1,044.20 crore India gross, ₹872.17 crore India net, and ₹1,394.20 crore worldwide gross. With these numbers, the film currently stands in the 4th position in the all-time worldwide gross list, behind Dangal, Baahubali 2, and Pushpa 2. To understand whether Dhurandhar 2 can become the highest grossing Indian film of all time, it is important to compare the current top films. Dangal remains the highest grossing Indian film worldwide with around ₹2,070 crore globally, largely boosted by its massive China run where it alone collected over ₹1,300 crore. Baahubali 2 collected around ₹1,788 crore worldwide, while Pushpa 2 collected around ₹1,742 crore worldwide. Dhurandhar 2 currently stands at ₹1,394 crore worldwide and is rapidly closing the gap. If we compare India gross collections, Pushpa 2 leads with around ₹1,471 crore India gross, followed by Baahubali 2 at around ₹1,416 crore India gross. Dhurandhar 2 has already crossed ₹1,044 crore India gross in just 12 days, which means it still has a strong chance of crossing Baahubali 2 and Pushpa 2 India gross totals if the trend continues for another 2–3 weeks. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Language Wise India Net Contribution Comparison MOVIE NAME HINDI TELUGU TAMIL KANNADA MALAYALAM TOTAL INDIA NET Pushpa 2 ₹ 812.14 Cr ₹ 341.48 Cr ₹ 58.56 Cr ₹ 7.77 Cr ₹ 14.15 Cr ₹ 1,234.10 Cr Baahubali 2 ₹ 510.99 Cr ₹ 338.80 Cr ₹ 125.85 Cr ₹ 0 Cr ₹ 54.78 Cr ₹ 1,030.42 Cr Dhurandhar 2 ₹ 818.04 Cr ₹ 35.42 Cr ₹ 15.35 Cr ₹ 1.98 Cr ₹ 1.38 Cr ₹ 872.17 Cr One of the most important comparisons comes from language contribution. Pushpa 2 had a massive contribution from Hindi markets, contributing more than ₹800 crore net alone, while Telugu contributed around ₹341 crore. Baahubali 2, on the other hand, had a more balanced distribution with Hindi contributing around ₹510 crore, Telugu around ₹338 crore, Tamil around ₹125 crore, and Malayalam around ₹54 crore. Dhurandhar 2 shows a very different trend. Out of its ₹872 crore India net so far, Hindi alone has contributed around ₹818 crore, which is an extremely high dependency on a single language market. Telugu has contributed around ₹35 crore, Tamil around ₹15 crore, Kannada around ₹2 crore, and Malayalam around ₹1.5 crore approximately. This clearly shows that Dhurandhar 2 is primarily driven by the Hindi market, unlike Baahubali 2 which had strong multi-language support. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) This language distribution is both a strength and a drawback. The strength is that the Hindi market alone is driving the film towards historic numbers. The drawback is that the South language markets are contributing very little compared to Baahubali 2 and Pushpa 2, which had strong Telugu and Tamil markets supporting the overall total. Another major drawback for Dhurandhar 2 is the absence of a Gulf release. The Gulf market is extremely important for mass action films and big event films, and skipping this market could result in a loss of ₹200–250 crore potential overseas gross. This could directly affect the film's chances of competing with Baahubali 2 and Pushpa 2 worldwide totals. However, it is also important to note that Dangal's worldwide total is heavily dependent on China collections. During its initial India and overseas run (without China), Dangal's worldwide total was much lower. The China release later pushed it to the ₹2,000 crore mark. This means Dhurandhar 2's current worldwide total should be compared with the non-China phase of Dangal for a fair comparison. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Based on current trends, Dhurandhar 2 is almost certain to cross Pushpa 2 worldwide total and Challenging Baahubali 2 is difficult but still achievable depending on long-term theatrical run - If the film maintains strong third and fourth week collections.The Dangal record, however, is a different benchmark altogether due to its massive China contribution, and whether Dhurandhar 2 can reach that level remains a pure wait and watch scenario at this stage. In conclusion, Dhurandhar 2 is currently on track to finish in the Top 3 highest grossing Indian films of all time worldwide and could potentially finish at Rank 2 if the current trend continues. The film's biggest strengths are its historic Hindi market performance and strong weekday holds, while the biggest drawbacks are weak South language contributions and the absence of Gulf market collections. The final worldwide ranking will largely depend on how long the Hindi market sustains and whether the film gets additional overseas market releases in the coming weeks.

Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge is rewriting box office history across India and overseas, but its Day 12 trend has thrown up a rare and surprising statistic — one that goes against the usual sequel dominance pattern seen in major film franchises. On its 2nd Monday (Day 12), Dhurandhar 2 collected ₹25.30 crore net across 17,614 shows, with the Hindi net alone contributing ₹23.50 crore. While these numbers are strong by industry standards, they fall short when compared to Dhurandhar Part 1, which had collected ₹30.50 crore on its 2nd Monday. This indicates an approximate drop of around 23% compared to the prequel at the same stage. What makes this trend even more surprising is the fact that Dhurandhar 2 has already surpassed the lifetime collections of its predecessor by a massive margin. By its 2nd Monday, the sequel had raced past ₹1,042.23 crore India gross and ₹872.17 crore India net, while its worldwide total had reached ₹1,392.23 crore, including ₹350 crore from overseas markets. For comparison, Dhurandhar Part 1 had collected ₹381.25 crore India net by its 2nd Monday, with a worldwide total of ₹588 crore and ₹130.50 crore coming from overseas markets during the same period. Despite Dhurandhar 2's massive overall lead in collections, the 2nd Monday trend clearly shows that the original film had a stronger hold on that specific weekday. This unusual pattern is further highlighted by BookMyShow ticket sales data for the 2nd Monday, where Dhurandhar registered 571K ticket sales, significantly ahead of Dhurandhar 2, which recorded 375K ticket sales. Other major films like Chhaava (371K), Jawan (294K), and Stree 2 (233K) followed behind, reinforcing how strong the original Dhurandhar's weekday traction was.

Films like Baahubali 2 and Pushpa 2 saw consistent growth over their predecessors in almost every metric. However, Dhurandhar is emerging as a rare case where the sequel has completely dominated the overall box office but still trails the original in a key trend like the 2nd Monday hold. This indicates that while Dhurandhar 2 is operating on a much larger scale with bigger openings and faster record-breaking totals, the first film had exceptionally strong weekday stability driven by word of mouth and repeat value. It also reflects how weekday trends can sometimes tell a different story compared to overall box office dominance. From record-breaking openings to historic worldwide totals and strong sustained collections, Dhurandhar 2 continues to dominate the box office. Yet, this 2nd Monday comparison adds an interesting layer to its box office journey, proving that even in the era of massive sequels, certain benchmarks set by original films can still stand tall.

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. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) 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.

Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge is continuing its historic box office run across India and overseas, but one of the most remarkable stories of its performance is coming from the Kerala box office, where the film is rewriting the record books for Hindi cinema. As of Day 12, Dhurandhar 2 has collected over ₹16 crore gross in Kerala, making it the highest grossing Hindi film in the state within the first 12 days of release. This is a historic achievement because Kerala has traditionally been a difficult market for Hindi films, with local Malayalam films dominating the box office. Before Dhurandhar 2, Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan was one of the strongest performing Hindi films in Kerala, collecting around ₹13.90 crore. Pathaan also performed strongly with over ₹13 crore, while Aamir Khan's Dangal crossed the ₹10 crore mark in the state. Dhurandhar Part 1 had collected around ₹8.70 crore in Kerala, making the sequel's performance almost double that of the first film within the same timeframe.

Over the past decade, the number of cinema theatres in Kerala has reportedly dropped significantly, with hundreds of theatres shutting down due to declining footfalls, rising costs, and the growth of OTT platforms. Industry reports have also highlighted that a large number of films released every year fail to recover costs, indicating that theatrical attendance in the state is highly selective and driven mainly by strong content or event films. In this context, Dhurandhar 2 crossing the ₹16 crore mark in Kerala within just 12 days is a significant achievement, as it reflects sustained audience turnout in a market where theatre performance depends heavily on word of mouth and strong audience reception. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) What makes this performance even more significant is that Dhurandhar 2 has achieved this milestone in just 12 days, becoming the first Hindi film in history to cross ₹15 crore gross in Kerala in such a short span. The film is now heading towards the ₹20 crore mark in the state, which would set a new benchmark for Hindi cinema in the Kerala market. The strong performance in Kerala is part of a much larger box office domination story. Dhurandhar 2 is performing exceptionally well across all territories including North India, South India, and overseas markets. The film is not just performing in traditional Hindi film markets but is also leading in several non-traditional markets for Bollywood films. As of Day 12, Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has collected ₹1,392.23 crore at the worldwide box office, making it one of the fastest Hindi films to reach this milestone and further proving its massive global appeal. From North India to South India and from overseas markets to smaller domestic territories, Dhurandhar 2 is setting new benchmarks everywhere. The film is not just a box office success but a record-breaking run across multiple territories, and its Kerala performance is one of the biggest highlights of its historic theatrical run.

Hyderabad, March 31 - Power Star Pawan Kalyan-fronted action drama Ustaad Bhagat Singh is turning out to be a major box office disappointment, with its worldwide total now expected to end below the 100 crore mark. Released amid decent pre-release buzz, the film opened to a fair response at the box office, particularly in the Telugu states. However, the momentum didn't last long. After a passable opening day, collections dropped sharply from the second day itself, and the film failed to show any significant growth on the weekdays. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The drop in collections has been drastic. By the second Monday, the film's daily earnings had fallen to negligible levels, indicating that audience interest had largely faded. The situation worsened due to strong competition from Dhurandhar 2, which has dominated the box office and captured a major chunk of audience attention across the country. The second weekend further sealed its fate with disastrous collection as it has grossed around 94 crore worldwide in 12 days so far, making it almost certain that the film will wrap up its theatrical run without touching the 100 crore milestone. One of the primary reasons behind the film's underperformance is the mixed to negative word-of-mouth, which prevented it from sustaining beyond the initial day. Additionally, the film failed to make an impact in overseas markets, an area that has increasingly become crucial for big-ticket Indian films.

This comes as a surprise, especially considering his strong fan base and the high expectations surrounding the project. In the end, what started as a promising commercial entertainer is now heading toward an underwhelming finish, making Ustaad Bhagat Singh one of the notable box office misfires of the year.

Ryan Gosling's Hollywood sci-fi film Project Hail Mary is performing well at the Indian box office, especially over the weekend, despite competition from major Indian releases. The film released in India on March 20, 2026, and has shown steady growth through its opening weekend. On Day 4 (Sunday), Project Hail Mary collected approximately ₹4.75 crore net across 1,634 shows in India. With this, the film's total India net collection stands at ₹14.50 crore, while the India gross collection has reached ₹17.38 crore after four days of release. Project Hail Mary has also emerged as a breakout success among Hollywood releases in India in 2026, as it has already surpassed the lifetime business of all Hollywood films released this year within its extended opening weekend itself. This highlights the film's strong acceptance in the market despite competition from major Indian releases. A key contributor to this performance has been Sony Pictures' aggressive screen expansion strategy, which ensured wide reach across multiplexes, coupled with strong exhibitor support that helped the film maximize its weekend potential. The film witnessed strong weekend growth after a steady opening, indicating positive word of mouth among urban audiences and multiplex circuits. Hollywood films in India typically rely heavily on weekend growth, and Project Hail Mary appears to be following a similar trend. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Globally, the film is performing exceptionally well and has already crossed the $300 million mark worldwide within a short period of release, making it one of the biggest Hollywood successes of 2026 so far.

Project Hail Mary is directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller and written by Drew Goddard, based on Andy Weir's novel of the same name. The film stars Ryan Gosling in the lead role along with Sandra Hüller, Lionel Boyce, Ken Leung, Milana Vayntrub, Liz Kingsman, Orion Lee, Aaron Neil, James Ortiz, and Priya Kansara. With positive reviews, strong global performance, and steady growth in India, Project Hail Mary is expected to continue its run in multiplexes over the coming week, especially in metro cities where Hollywood films traditionally perform well.

Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has achieved a major milestone at the box office by crossing the ₹200 crore gross mark in South India, joining Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan in this elite club. This achievement is particularly significant given the traditionally limited reach of Hindi films in southern markets, making this a landmark moment for the film and the industry. What makes this feat even more remarkable is the speed. Dhurandhar 2 has reached the ₹200 crore mark in South India within just 11 days of release, showcasing its massive acceptance across regional markets. The film's strong hold across Telugu, Tamil, and Kannada circuits highlights its true pan-India appeal. On Day 11, Dhurandhar 2 collected a net of ₹68.10 crore across 19,270 shows. This takes its total India gross collections to ₹1,011.95 crore, while the India net stands at ₹846.87 crore so far. Overseas, the film added ₹17.00 crore on Day 11, pushing the total overseas gross to ₹342.00 crore. With this, the worldwide gross collection of Dhurandhar 2 has reached a massive ₹1,353.95 crore in just 11 days. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) In comparison, Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan had collected ₹36.85 crore net on Day 11 across 14,998 shows, taking its India gross to ₹569.69 crore, while overseas stood at ₹286 crore for a worldwide total of ₹855.69 crore at the same stage. Jawan was also a landmark film for Hindi cinema in South India as it broke the opening day records for an outright Hindi film in all four major South Indian states — Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh/Telangana, and Kerala, significantly expanding the market for Hindi films in the region. The comparison clearly highlights the scale at which Dhurandhar 2 is performing, not just domestically but globally as well. While Jawan played a crucial role in expanding the market for Hindi films in South India, Dhurandhar 2 appears to be taking that momentum to another level. The bigger story lies in the evolving dynamics of the Indian box office. South Indian markets, which were once largely dominated by regional cinema, are now opening up significantly to large-scale Hindi films. Dhurandhar 2's performance suggests that the pan-India model is no longer one-directional, with Hindi films now making deeper inroads into southern territories. From a trade perspective, Dhurandhar 2 entering the ₹200 crore South India club alongside Jawan is not just a record but a strong indicator of changing audience preferences. It reflects the growing acceptance of high-concept Hindi entertainers across regions and signals a new phase in the expansion of the Indian theatrical market.
