Dhurandhar 2 chases Dangal’s box office record
Dhurandhar Part 2 moves closer to Dangal but still needs over Rs 400 crore to break record
The film Dhurandhar Part 2: The Revenge is performing very well at the global box office. Starring Ranveer Singh and directed by Aditya Dhar, the movie has become one of the biggest hits of 2026 so far. It is now moving closer to the lifetime earnings of Dangal, one of the highest-grossing Indian films ever.
Even though the film is doing very well, it still needs a large amount to beat Dangal’s record.
Strong box office performance so far
In just about 20 days, Dhurandhar Part 2 has earned around Rs 1640 crore worldwide. This includes both domestic and international collections. In India alone, the film has earned over Rs 1,237 crore in gross collections, while it has collected around Rs 404 crore from overseas markets.
If we look at the net earnings in India, the film has already crossed Rs 1000 crore. This makes it one of the highest-earning films in the country. The film has also entered the list of the top 10 highest-grossing films globally in 2026.
What makes this achievement more impressive is the competition. The film is running alongside big international releases but is still managing to attract large audiences. Its strong story, action sequences and star power have helped it maintain a steady performance at the box office.
The film has also performed well in international markets. Many Indian films depend heavily on overseas collections to reach record numbers, and Dhurandhar Part 2 is showing similar trends. Its global appeal is helping it stay in the race for breaking major records.

The gap between Dhurandhar 2 and Dangal
Despite its strong performance, Dhurandhar Part 2 still has a long way to go before it can surpass Dangal. The film Dangal, starring Aamir Khan, earned about Rs 2070 crore worldwide during its lifetime run.
Dangal’s success was not limited to India. A major part of its earnings came from overseas markets, especially China, where it earned more than Rs 1300 crore alone. This made it one of the most successful Indian films internationally.
At present, Dhurandhar Part 2 is about Rs 420 to Rs 430 crore behind Dangal’s total. This is still a big gap, and it will require consistent performance over the coming weeks to close it.
The chances of crossing Dangal’s record will depend on several factors. The film needs to continue performing well in both domestic and international markets. Word of mouth, audience interest and competition from new releases will also play an important role.
If the film manages to maintain its current pace, it may come close to the record. However, breaking Dangal’s record is not easy, as it has remained unbeaten for years.
Even if Dhurandhar Part 2 does not cross the record, it has already achieved a major milestone by entering the top list of highest-grossing films. It shows the growing power of Indian cinema at the global level.
In conclusion, Dhurandhar Part 2 is clearly one of the biggest films of the year. While it still needs over Rs 400 crore to beat Dangal, its strong performance so far has made it a serious contender. The coming weeks will decide whether it can create history or fall just short of the record.
