Dhurandhar: The Revenge ended its theatrical run at ₹1,138.54Cr India Net — the highest ever for a Hindi film, surpassing Baahubali 2 (₹1,030Cr), KGF 2 (₹860Cr), and every prior Bollywood release. Directed by Aditya Dhar and starring Ranveer Singh, it rewrote the record book in its first week and never stopped.
The Numbers
The film released on March 18–19, 2026 — coinciding with Ugadi and Gudi Padwa — across 21,000+ screens in Hindi and four regional languages. Advance booking crossed ₹294Cr WW before release day. Day 1 delivered ₹102.55Cr India net — the first Hindi film ever to cross ₹100Cr on opening day.
Week-by-Week Breakdown
Week 1 alone (₹674.17Cr) is the second-highest single-week collection in Indian cinema history — just ₹3.53Cr short of Pushpa 2's all-time W1 record of ₹677.70Cr. The film crossed ₹1,000Cr India net on Day 22, becoming only the third Indian film to do so after Pushpa 2 and Baahubali 2. It surpassed Baahubali 2's lifetime total on Day 20.
What the Records Mean
Dhurandhar 2 is not just a box office record — it is a structural shift in what Bollywood can do. Four consecutive days above ₹100Cr net (D1–D4) had never happened before for a Hindi film. The film's Week 2 hold of 39% (₹263Cr vs ₹674Cr W1) is exceptional for a film of this scale, driven by repeat viewership and strong family audience retention across metros and tier-2 cities.
The overseas contribution — ₹425.15Cr gross — confirms Ranveer Singh and Aditya Dhar's franchise has genuinely global reach. North America contributed over $22M in the opening weekend alone.
Verdict: ALL-TIME BLOCKBUSTER
Against a ₹300Cr+ budget, Dhurandhar: The Revenge delivered a 3.8x India net return. It earned more in its first 3 days (₹296.27Cr) than most Bollywood films earn in their entire theatrical run. The verdict is not just a commercial classification — it is a statement about where Hindi cinema's ceiling now sits.
Pushpa 2 (₹1,234Cr) remains the all-time India net record. Dhurandhar 2 fell ₹95.56Cr short. The gap is the sequel conversation that will dominate trade headlines through 2027.
