The blockbuster film Dhurandhar 2 has scripted history at the Indian box office, becoming the first film ever to surpass the ₹1,000 crore mark domestically within just 18 days of release.
Released on March 19, the film has maintained a strong run in theaters, consistently breaking records and drawing massive audiences across the country.
💰 Record-Breaking India Collection
After a slight slowdown toward the end of its second week, the film regained momentum over the third weekend. On Sunday alone, it collected ₹28.75 crore.

With this milestone, Dhurandhar 2 has set a new benchmark in Indian cinema, becoming the fastest and first film to cross ₹1,000 crore in the domestic market.
🌍 Strong Worldwide Performance
The film’s success is not limited to India. Globally, Dhurandhar 2 continues to dominate box offices.

- North America Earnings: $25 million
The film has emerged as a top performer internationally, especially in North America, where it has become one of the highest-grossing Indian releases.
📊 Still Behind Global All-Time Leaders
Despite its historic domestic performance, Dhurandhar 2 still trails behind some of the biggest global Indian blockbusters:
- Pushpa 2 – ₹1,742 crore (Worldwide)
- Baahubali 2 – ₹1,788 crore (Worldwide)
- Dangal – ₹2,070 crore (Worldwide)
Analysts believe the film still has potential to climb higher in global rankings if its momentum continues.
🎬 ‘Project Hail Mary’ Struggles Alongside
Meanwhile, Project Hail Mary, which is running alongside Dhurandhar 2, is witnessing a slower box office performance.
- Sunday Collection: ₹4.90 crore
- Total (11 Days): ₹37.95 crore
Despite a modest uptick over the weekend, the film has struggled to compete with the massive popularity of Dhurandhar 2.
🎯 Outlook
With strong word-of-mouth and sustained audience interest, Dhurandhar 2 is expected to continue its successful run. Industry experts are closely watching whether it can challenge the all-time global records in the coming weeks.
