Dhurandhar 2 stalls in 3rd week but misses Dhurandhar record
Dhurandhar 2 ends its third week with Rs 110.60 crore, taking domestic total to Rs 1,048.42 crore and global gross to Rs 1,665.23 crore, but misses the earlier third‑week record.
Dhurandhar 2 has completed its third week at the box office with a steady Rs 110.60 crore in domestic earnings, a figure that keeps the film on a strong footing but falls short of the third-week record set by its predecessor. The movie’s domestic net collections stand at Rs 1,048.42 crore, while its global gross climbs to Rs 1,665.23 crore, underscoring a robust reception across audiences.
Despite the slowdown in the latest week, the spy-action sequel has still managed to surpass the lifetime earnings of the original Dhurandhar, marking a notable milestone for the franchise and signaling continued consumer interest in high-octane Bollywood thrillers. Industry watchers note that the film’s broad appeal helps sustain momentum even as weekly records prove elusive.
In another development linked to the Dhurandhar universe, the sequel — teased as Dhurandhar: The Revenge — is slated for an OTT debut on JioHotstar after IPL 2026 wraps up, pegged for late May or early June 2026. The window is watched closely by distributors and fans alike, eager to see how the home-viewing surge complements the theatrical run.
Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga has publicly defended the film against propaganda claims, praising Dhurandhar 2 as a significant cinematic effort and urging audiences to assess the project on its merits. He reiterated his support after viewing the film with Prabhas, underscoring the industry’s ongoing debates about representation and storytelling.
As Dhurandhar 2 continues to draw crowds in theatres, industry insiders remain curious about how the OTT release might extend the film’s life cycle, while audiences weigh the blockbuster numbers against the experience of watching it on the big screen. Analysts suggest the franchise’s strong footing could pave the way for further installments or spin-offs, even as critics call for fresh narratives within the spy-action genre.
