Dhurandhar 2 10th Weekend Box Office: Hits Rs. 1,800 Cr; Combined Franchise Haul Stands At Rs. 3,107 Cr Worldwide

Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has effectively rewritten the rulebook for what a blockbuster looks like in today's era. By sailing past the 1,800 crore mark globally, it has not just overtaken legends like Baahubali 2 and Pushpa 2, but it has essentially provided a much-needed adrenaline shot for the entire industry. What makes this success story truly jaw-dropping is how the makers played their cards; while the first installment in 2025 was a purely Hindi release that raked in an impressive 1,307.35 crore, the sequel was unleashed in multiple languages. This strategic pivot allowed the film to set new benchmarks that have left many in awe as it claimed the second spot in the all-time global rankings.

The financial picture here is nothing short of incredible. When you consider that both films were made on a combined budget of 255 crore, the return on investment is frankly in a league of its own. We are looking at a franchise that has generated over 3,100 crore in total worldwide gross across both chapters. To put the domestic craze into perspective, the film has seen over 4 crore footfalls, making it the first original Hindi-led project to command that kind of crowd since Gadar back in 2001. Also the sequel's 1.83 crore ticket sales on BookMyShow have pushed the franchise's total to over 6.8 crore tickets across India, reflecting the massive scale of its audience reach.Such is the trend the franchise has set that it may take years for these records to be broken.

Even as it enters its tenth weekend, the film is showing no signs of a complete burnout. In fact, the tenth-weekend performance saw a total net collection of 0.83 crore across 691 shows in India. The momentum peaked on Sunday (Day 67) with a net of 0.40 crore, marking a 33.3 percent jump from the previous day. The occupancy levels followed a similar trend, starting at 21 percent on Friday and climbing to a healthy 36 percent on Sunday. National chains like PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis saw a surge in volume as well, with ticket sales jumping from 1,318 on Friday to 3,798 on Sunday. By the end of this weekend, over 7,300 tickets were added to the kitty from these chains alone, suggesting the film still has some legs left.

The multi-lingual approach for the sequel paid off handsomely, allowing the film to penetrate markets that Part 1 could not reach. While the Hindi version remains the primary driver, the contributions from the Southern states have helped push the total India net to 1,147.58 crore.Based on current trends, we expect the film to conclude its theatrical journey with a lifetime global haul of approximately 1,803 crore or may be 1,805 crore ,safely securing its place as a historical benchmark for Indian cinema. Here is how the regional breakdown looks:

• Hindi: ₹1,079.04 Cr
• Telugu: ₹43.07 Cr
• Tamil: ₹19.83 Cr
• Kannada: ₹3.87 Cr
• Malayalam: ₹1.77 Cr

This global dominance was further cemented by a strong showing overseas, where the film grossed a total of 426.67 crore. International audiences were clearly drawn to the high-quality VFX, as roughly 18 percent of overseas revenue came from premium formats like IMAX and 4DX. As the theatrical run begins to wind down, the focus is now shifting toward the small screen. The digital premiere on JioHotstar on June 4 will feature a special Raw and Undekha cut, including 20 minutes of extra footage that wasn't shown in theaters. This extended version is expected to keep the conversation going long after the film leaves the big screen.

The financial health of this duology is arguably its most impressive feat. The producers managed both films on a combined budget of just 255 crore, making the return on investment frankly in a league of its own. We are looking at a franchise that has generated over 3,107 crore in total worldwide gross across both chapters. This success was not limited to the box office; the makers also pulled off a masterstroke with digital rights. While Part 1 remained with Netflix for a revised value of 85 crore, the makers leveraged the sequel's hype to secure a separate, staggering 150 crore deal with JioHotstar. This pushed their total digital revenue to 235 crore, nearly covering the entire production cost of the franchise through streaming alone.
