‘Dhurandhar 2’: Every Box Office Record On Its Radar

Aditya Dhar's most-anticipated "Dhurandhar: The Revenge" is set to challenge every existing box office milestone in India. The Ranveer Singh, Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan and Arjun Rampal starrer spy action thriller is expected to generate an euphoria in theatres upon its massive worldwide release on March 19, 2026.

If the advance booking for the paid previews on March 18 is any indication, "Dhurandhar 2" is projected to break the records from the very first day, with nearly ₹100 crore net opening day. The Jio Studios and B62 Studios production is eyeing a ₹500 crore net in the first week itself — the biggest week 1 total in the history of Indian cinema. The long term box office performance will ultimately depend on audience reception, but trade experts are forecasting a lifetime business anywhere between ₹900 crore and ₹1,000 crore net at the domestic box office.

Here’s a breakdown of all the major box office milestones “Dhurandhar 2” will be targeting. The figures below are for the Hindi version alone and are compiled from Sacnilk.
