Dhurandhar 2 nears Baahubali 2 milestone as box office stays strong
Dhurandhar 2 keeps roaring at the box office, eyeing Baahubali 2’s domestic crown while sweeping global milestones — even as new releases approach.
Dhurandhar 2 has kicked off week six with momentum, though industry watchers expect another dip on Monday as the domestic box office faces a fresh round of releases this Friday. Raja Shivaji and Ek Din arrive on May 1, adding pressure for the thriller to hold its footing. The film started its sixth week still riding a high from a record-breaking run, but the trajectory suggests a softer weekend ahead.
Domestically, the film’s current haul stands at Rs 1,353.27 crore gross and Rs 1,130.59 crore net, a testament to its extraordinary run. Internationally, Dhurandhar 2 crossed Rs 1,000 crore within its opening week and has since grown to become the fastest Indian film to reach that milestone worldwide. It also stands tall as the highest-grossing Indian film in Australia, New Zealand, and the UK, surpassing major past hits.
Ticketing success continues to ride on BookMyShow, where the film has sold over 1.78 crore tickets, a figure that trails only Pushpa 2: The Rule’s 2.08 crore in platform sales. The duel between Dhurandhar 2 and its closest domestic rival remains intense as it climbs into its sixth weekend.
On the domestic front, Dhurandhar 2 is Rs 33 crore shy of beating Baahubali 2’s domestic record, while on the global front it is just Rs 15.12 crore away from becoming the second-highest-grossing Indian film ever. These milestones underscore a rare, long-running phenomenon in Indian cinema: a film that maintains momentum well into its second month.
As the chatter around Pushpa 2 and other new releases grows louder, Dhurandhar 2’s enduring popularity and record-breaking global feats keep it at the center of nationwide discussions about box office trends and audience loyalty.
