Dhurandhar 2 Slows as Project Hail Mary Hits $4B Global

Mumbai, India — April 8, 2026

After a dominant box office run, Dhurandhar 2 is beginning to show signs of slowing momentum in India, while Project Hail Mary continues its remarkable surge globally, crossing a massive $4 billion milestone.

Dhurandhar 2 Maintains Strong Hold Despite Dip

Despite completing 20 days in theaters, Dhurandhar 2 continues to perform strongly at the domestic box office.

According to industry tracker Sacnilk, the film earned approximately ₹10.10 crore on Tuesday, slightly above Monday’s ₹10 crore. However, the numbers indicate a gradual slowdown following the weekend peak.

The film’s total net collection in India has now reached an impressive ₹1,033.37 crore, solidifying its position among the highest-grossing Indian films.

Project Hail Mary Achieves Global Milestone

Meanwhile, Project Hail Mary is witnessing exceptional global success. Released internationally on March 20 and later in India on March 26, the film has faced limited screen availability domestically due to competition from Dhurandhar 2.

Despite this, the sci-fi epic collected ₹1.85 crore in India on Tuesday. Its total net collection in India now stands at ₹41.40 crore.

The film has also made history by becoming India’s highest-grossing space-themed movie, surpassing iconic titles like Interstellar and Gravity.

Worldwide Box Office Performance

Both films continue to perform strongly on the global stage, though with contrasting trajectories.

• Project Hail Mary has crossed a staggering ₹4,000 crore worldwide, emerging as one of the biggest global blockbusters of the year.
• Dhurandhar 2 has also delivered a powerful performance, earning ₹1,641.21 crore globally.

Market Trend and Outlook

The current trend highlights a typical box office lifecycle, where even blockbuster films like Dhurandhar 2 begin to stabilize after extended theatrical runs. Meanwhile, globally appealing content such as Project Hail Mary continues to gain traction across international markets.

Industry analysts suggest that while Dhurandhar 2 remains a dominant force in India, Project Hail Mary’s global appeal and genre advantage are driving its record-breaking performance worldwide.
