‘Dhurandhar 2’ Vs ‘Ustaad Bhagat Singh’ Day 3 Box Office: Ranveer Singh’s Film On A Rampage; Pawan Kalyan Entertainer Fails To Cross His Earlier Films
Ranveer Singh, Aditya Dhar’s “Dhurandhar 2,” is turning out to be a juggernaut at the box office. The big film that released along with it on March 19 was “Ustaad Bhagat Singh” starring Pawan Kalyan. As per trade website Sacnilk, “Ustaad Singh Bhagat” is not able to match up Pawan Kalyan’s 2025 actioner “Hari Hara Veera Mallu,” or the action-drama “They Call Him OG.” There was a slight improvement in the box office earnings of “Ustaad Bhagat Singh” on Saturday with the movie making ₹9.15 crore from 3,340 shows. On the other hand, “Dhurandhar 2” made ₹109.04 crore net on its third day, including the historic ₹101.39 crore in Hindi alone.
