Dhurandhar 2 vs Pushpa 2 Box Office: Ranveer Singh’s ‘Beast’ Opening Fails to Break 3 Major Records Held by Allu Arjun’s Blockbuster!

The box office clash between Ranveer Singh and Allu Arjun has turned into one of the biggest talking points in Indian cinema. While Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has delivered a historic opening, it still couldn’t surpass three massive records held by Pushpa 2: The Rule.

With a staggering ₹145 crore net collection on day one in India, Dhurandhar 2 has rewritten Bollywood history. It became the first Hindi film to cross ₹100 crore in a single day and shattered over 20 records. Yet, despite this phenomenal start, a few key milestones remain untouched.

Ranveer Singh vs Allu Arjun: A Battle of Titans

Ranveer Singh has successfully dethroned Allu Arjun in one major segment by delivering the biggest Hindi opening ever. Dhurandhar 2 surpassed the Hindi net collection of Pushpa 2, which stood at ₹72 crore.

However, the spy thriller directed by Aditya Dhar couldn’t dominate across all fronts. The larger pan-India and global appeal of Pushpa 2 continues to hold strong in certain key areas.

Worldwide Opening: Pushpa 2 Still Rules

While Dhurandhar 2 dominated the domestic box office, it fell short on the global stage.

Pushpa 2 registered an extraordinary worldwide opening of over ₹275 crore, setting a benchmark that remains unbeaten. In comparison, Dhurandhar 2 managed an impressive but lower ₹222.5 crore globally.

This gap highlights the massive international pull that Allu Arjun’s film continues to enjoy.

BookMyShow Ticket Sales: Unmatched Craze for Pushpa 2

The craze for Pushpa 2 was clearly visible in advance bookings and ticket sales. On day one (including pre-sales), Dhurandhar 2 sold around 4.05 million tickets on BookMyShow.

However, Pushpa 2 stayed ahead with a massive 4.76 million tickets sold, proving its unmatched hype among audiences.

North America Box Office: Missed Entry into Top 5

One of the biggest setbacks for Dhurandhar 2 came from the North American market. Despite a wide release, the film failed to enter the Top 5 Indian openers in the region.

It collected approximately $3.95 million (including premieres), narrowly missing the fifth position.

Top 5 Indian Openers in North America

• Kalki 2898 AD – $5.56 million
• RRR – $5.5 million
• Baahubali 2: The Conclusion – $4.6 million
• Pushpa 2 – $4.47 million
• Coolie – $3.97 million

Final Verdict

Dhurandhar 2 has undoubtedly delivered one of the biggest openings in Indian cinema history and marked a new era for Bollywood. Ranveer Singh’s explosive start and record-breaking spree have set new benchmarks domestically.

However, Pushpa 2 continues to dominate in terms of global reach, ticket sales frenzy, and international box office performance. The battle clearly shows that while Bollywood is catching up fast, pan-India blockbusters still hold a strong edge worldwide.
