Dhurandhar Movie Box Office Collection Slows in Third Week After Record Run

After two weeks of relentless box office momentum, Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge is beginning to show early signs of fatigue, even as it holds on to its position as a historic performer in the Indian market. The espionage thriller, directed by Aditya Dhar, has already secured its place by crossing the Rs 1,000 crore net mark domestically, a first for a Hindi film. Yet, as it enters its fourth weekend, daily collections have begun to ease.

Trade estimates suggest the film earned around Rs 7.90 crore net on day 21, with gross figures hovering near Rs 9.46 crore. It is the first time since release that the film has fallen below the Rs 10 crore mark in a single day. The slowdown appears to reflect a combination of mid-week audience drop-off and the ongoing IPL season drawing viewership away from theatres.

The Hindi version continues to drive most of the revenue, contributing approximately Rs 7.50 crore on the day. Regional language versions added smaller shares, with Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam markets contributing marginally.

The film’s weekly trajectory shows a sharp but expected tapering. It opened with a commanding Rs 674.17 crore in its first week, followed by Rs 263.65 crore in week two. The third week has so far added just over Rs 100 crore, bringing the cumulative domestic total to about Rs 1,041.27 crore.

Despite the recent dip, the scale of its performance remains difficult to overlook. The film has surpassed the long-standing domestic record set by Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, pushing ahead in terms of net collections in India. At the same time, it continues to trail behind benchmarks set by other major titles in total lifetime figures.

Globally, the film has reached an estimated Rs 1,653.67 crore gross, with overseas markets contributing roughly Rs 407 crore. Its international run has been particularly strong, crossing Rs 400 crore and placing it among the top global earners of the year.

Comparisons with its predecessor highlight the changing pace. On day 21, the first Dhurandhar had recorded significantly higher earnings, and its third-week total was also stronger. Still, the sequel’s overall numbers have already moved well beyond the earlier film’s lifetime haul.

The coming days may prove decisive. The film has benefited from a largely uncontested theatrical window since its release on March 19, but that changes soon with a new release arriving mid-April. For now, the focus remains on whether it can sustain enough momentum to push closer to the Rs 1,700 crore worldwide mark.

The numbers may be softening, but the scale of the run suggests the film’s place in recent box office history is already secured.
