Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has taken a massive opening at the box office, establishing itself as one of the biggest Day 1 performers in Indian cinema. Despite facing challenges like show cancellations and delayed regional releases, the film has managed to deliver impressive numbers both domestically and overseas.
Dhurandhar 2 Day 1 Box Office Collection (India & Worldwide)
The film collected ₹102.55 crore net on its opening day across 21,728 shows in India. After early adjustments, the India net total stands at ₹145.55 crore, while the gross collection in India reached ₹172.63 crore.
Overseas markets contributed ₹64 crore, taking the worldwide Day 1 total to a strong ₹236.63 crore. These numbers firmly place the film among the biggest global openers from India.
Hindi Version Drives Massive Opening
The Day 1 performance was largely dominated by the Hindi version, which alone contributed ₹99.10 crore with an impressive 73.6% occupancy.
Other language collections remained limited:
- Telugu: ₹2.12 crore
- Tamil: ₹1.16 crore
- Malayalam: ₹0.09 crore
- Kannada: ₹0.08 crore
This clearly indicates that while the film had a pan-India release, its primary strength came from the Hindi belt.
Creates New Benchmark for Bollywood Openings
Dhurandhar 2 has emerged as the biggest Day 1 opener in Bollywood in terms of net collections. It has surpassed major films like:
- Jawan – ₹75 crore
- Pathaan – ₹57 crore
- Animal – ₹63.80 crore
- Stree 2 – ₹52 crore
With ₹99.10 crore from Hindi alone, the film has set a new benchmark for Bollywood openings.
Among Top 5 Biggest Day 1 Openers in India
Despite missing the top spot, Dhurandhar 2 has secured its place among the biggest Day 1 openers in Indian cinema.
- Pushpa: The Rule – Part 2 – ₹164 crore
- RRR – ₹133 crore
- KGF Chapter 2 – ₹116 crore
- Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge – ₹103 crore
- Kalki 2898 AD – ₹95 crore
This puts the film in the fourth position overall.
Impact of Show Cancellations and Delays
The film’s opening day numbers were affected by several factors. Some regional versions faced delays in censor certification, leading to show cancellations in select markets.
Trade estimates suggest that if all versions had released smoothly, the Day 1 collection could have been 15–20% higher. Despite these hurdles, the film still delivered a strong opening.
Record-Breaking Advance Booking on BookMyShow
Dhurandhar 2 also created history in advance bookings. It sold 109K tickets within a single hour on BookMyShow, breaking the previous record of around 107.60K tickets per hour set by Pushpa 2.
This makes it the fastest-selling film in terms of hourly ticket sales on the platform.
What Lies Ahead for Dhurandhar 2
With a worldwide opening of ₹236.63 crore, the film has built a solid foundation. The upcoming weekend performance and its hold in key markets will play a crucial role in determining its long-term box office success.
If the film maintains strong momentum and benefits from full-scale screenings across regions, it has the potential to emerge as one of the highest-grossing films of the year.
