New Delhi, April 4, 2026: The Indian film industry has witnessed a seismic shift at the box office as Aditya Dhar’s espionage masterpiece, Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge, continues its historic rampage. Starring Ranveer Singh in what critics are calling a career-defining performance, the spy-thriller has officially breached the elite ₹1,500 crore mark globally in just over two weeks, firmly cementing its status as a modern-day classic.
In the domestic market, the sequel has outperformed its predecessor and several all-time blockbusters. Within 16 days of its release on March 19, 2026, the film has amassed a staggering ₹959 crore net collection in India. When accounting for gross figures, the film has comfortably crossed ₹1,148 crore, making it one of the highest-earning films in Indian cinematic history.
Despite the onset of the IPL 2026 season, the film’s footfall remained remarkably resilient. On its third Friday, it recorded a 20% jump in earnings, proving that strong word-of-mouth and the “Aditya Dhar brand” of high-octane realism are more than a match for prime-time cricket.
The international performance of Dhurandhar 2 has been nothing short of a phenomenon. The film’s worldwide gross now stands at ₹1,523 crore.
Key highlights of its international run include:
Directed by Aditya Dhar (of Uri: The Surgical Strike fame), the film is the final chapter of a duology that began in late 2025. The story follows Hamza Ali Mazari (played by Ranveer Singh), a deep-cover operative navigating a complex web of geopolitical tension and personal vendetta.
The film’s success is attributed to several factors:
As the film enters its third weekend, trade analysts are optimistic that it will surpass the lifetime collections of Pushpa 2 (₹1,724 crore) and Baahubali 2 (₹1,788 crore). While reaching the ₹2,000 crore mark remains a steep climb, Dhurandhar 2 has already rewritten the rules of the Indian spy-thriller, proving that gritty, well-told stories can dominate the global stage.
With no major competition in sight for the next few weeks, the “Ranveer Singh Storm” shows no signs of slowing down.
