Dhurandhar 2, directed by Aditya Dhar, continues to impress at the box office even on its 19th day of release. This spy thriller, featuring Ranveer Singh in the lead role, made headlines as the first Hindi film to surpass the ₹1000 crore net milestone in India. Its steady performance showcases the movie’s captivating storyline and strong audience appeal.
As reported by the trade website Sacnilk, Dhurandhar 2 collected ₹10.00 crore net in India on its third Monday, bringing its total domestic earnings to ₹1,023.77 crore. The film had a fantastic opening week, accumulating ₹674.17 crore, followed by another ₹263.65 crore in its second week. The weekend box office performance remained robust, with a significant rise in collections—₹21.55 crore on Friday, ₹25.65 crore on Saturday, and ₹28.75 crore on Sunday. Despite the usual dip in earnings on Monday, the film maintained its upward momentum and crossed the ₹1600 crore mark worldwide within 18 days.
Sara Arjun recently expressed her gratitude towards Aditya Dhar for the opportunity to work on the Dhurandhar films. She shared behind-the-scenes pictures from the sets on Instagram, reflecting on her journey and the dedication that went into the production. Highlighting the team’s hard work, Sara acknowledged the unsung heroes who contribute significantly to the filmmaking process and emphasized that while actors might be the faces of a project, the crew is its backbone.
Dhurandhar 2 is a collaborative effort, crafted by Aditya Dhar along with Lokesh Dhar and Jyoti Deshpande, under Jio Studios and B62 Studios. The cast includes notable names such as Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, and Sara Arjun. However, much like its predecessor, the film faced bans in several Gulf countries and Pakistan but was made available in other regions.
The plot follows Jaskirat Singh Rangi, portrayed by Ranveer Singh, an Indian spy enlisted by the Intelligence Bureau’s director, Ajay Sanyal (played by Madhavan), to execute an anti-terror operation in Pakistan. Integrating real-life events like the Kandahar hijacking and the 26/11 terror attacks, the film outlines the strategies employed by spies to protect India. Despite receiving mixed reviews related to its portrayal of sensitive topics, Dhurandhar 2 has achieved remarkable commercial success.
