Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge crossed the Rs 100 crore mark on its very first day, collecting Rs 102.55 crore from 21,728 shows across India as per Sacnilk. That makes it the highest Bollywood opener of all time, overtaking Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan which held the record at Rs 75 crore. If you add the Rs 43 crore from paid previews on March 18, the total comes to Rs 145.5 crore, putting it second only to Pushpa 2 (Rs 164.25 crore) among all Indian films.
The film didn't just break one record. It recorded the highest-ever paid preview collection for any Indian film at Rs 47 crore. It also recorded the highest-ever advance ticket sales at national cinema chains with 925K tickets sold on opening day, beating Baahubali 2 Hindi (650K), Stree 2 (565K), Jawan (557K), and Pathaan (556K). Over 15 lakh tickets were sold including paid previews. In North America, the film earned $1.60 million from paid previews alone, the highest ever for a Bollywood film.
The original Dhurandhar opened at Rs 27 crore back in December 2024 and went on to become the all-time highest grosser in Hindi. Dhurandhar 2 earned nearly four times more on opening day itself. That kind of jump is rare for any franchise. For context, Baahubali 2 did roughly 3.5x of Baahubali 1's opening, and Pushpa 2 did about 3x of Pushpa 1. Dhurandhar 2 doing nearly 4x puts it in an exclusive category. The bigger ensemble cast with Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, and Arjun Rampal joining Ranveer Singh, plus the wider release across 5 languages, clearly made the difference.
As per Sacnilk, the Hindi version alone contributed Rs 99.10 crore with 73.6% occupancy across 19,500 shows. Telugu brought in Rs 2.12 crore (59% occupancy, 1,112 shows), Tamil Rs 1.16 crore (39% occupancy, 958 shows), Malayalam Rs 0.09 crore (80% occupancy, 96 shows), and Kannada Rs 0.08 crore (46% occupancy, 62 shows). Occupancy varied through the day: morning 67.17%, afternoon 39.50%, evening 65.50%, and night shows peaked at 76%. For a working day release, anything above 40% is considered good.
First-day-first-show audiences in Mumbai called it a “paisa vasool” entertainer, with many planning repeat viewings. The action sequences and Ranveer Singh's performance have been the most talked about aspects. Arjun Rampal and Sanjay Dutt have received praise for their roles. Veteran columnist Shobhaa De gave a mixed review, praising the performances but noting the film relies on “too many explanations” and action set pieces. Trade analyst Komal Nahta called it a rare sequel that surpasses expectations, predicting a massive lifetime run. Film producer G Dhananjheyan called it “an epic patriotic film with many goosebump moments” and praised the climax sequence.
With Rs 145.5 crore on Day 1 (including paid previews), Dhurandhar 2 now sits in the top 5 list of highest opening day grossers in India: Pushpa 2 (Rs 164.25 crore), Dhurandhar 2 (Rs 145.5 crore), RRR (Rs 133 crore), Baahubali 2 (Rs 121 crore), and KGF Chapter 2 (Rs 116 crore). It is the only Hindi film in this top 5, pushing Jr NTR's Devara out of the top 10.
The next few days will tell us a lot. If weekday holds stay above 50-60% of Day 1, the first week total could be massive. The weekend is expected to bring in family audiences who typically skip opening day. Dhurandhar 2 is also getting a wide release in North America with shows matching Ryan Gosling's Project Hail Mary in many US theatres. With Dhurandhar 3 already being teased through post-credit scenes, audience interest in the franchise is only growing.
