Spy thriller crosses major milestone after one month in cinemas
Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar 2 completes 30 days in theatres with strong box office run
New Delhi: Ranveer Singh’s action thriller Dhurandhar 2, officially titled Dhurandhar: The Revenge, has completed 30 days in theatres and continues to perform strongly at the box office. Released with high expectations, the film has maintained audience interest for an entire month and remains one of the biggest Hindi film successes of the year.
The movie is a sequel to the first Dhurandhar, which was released in December 2025. After the success of the first part, fans were eager to see the next chapter in the story. That excitement helped the film open with huge numbers and continue its strong run in the weeks that followed.
Directed by Aditya Dhar, the film is a spy action thriller packed with large-scale action scenes, emotional drama and star power. It has become one of the most talked-about Bollywood releases of 2026.
Even though daily collections have slowed compared to the opening week, the film is still earning steadily in many cinemas. Trade experts say that reaching 30 days in theatres with continued audience support is a major achievement in today’s fast-changing entertainment market.
The film has also crossed several milestones in domestic and worldwide earnings, placing it among the highest-grossing Indian films.
Strong earnings in India
According to trade reports, Dhurandhar 2 has collected around Rs 1,105.82 crore net in India after 30 days in theatres. This makes it one of the biggest domestic box office performers in Bollywood history.
The film had a powerful start even before its official release date through paid preview shows. On Day 0, it reportedly earned Rs 51.60 crore across more than 11,000 shows.
Its first full day in theatres was even bigger, collecting Rs 123 crore from over 21,000 shows. These numbers reflected strong advance bookings, fan excitement and positive word-of-mouth.
The first week was the biggest phase of the film’s run. It earned around Rs 674.17 crore in India during Week 1 alone. This gave the film a huge advantage and placed it on the path toward record collections.
In Week 2, the movie added another Rs 263.65 crore. Although collections naturally dropped from the opening week, the numbers were still extremely strong.
Week 3 brought in Rs 110.60 crore, while Week 4 added Rs 54.70 crore. These steady collections show that the film continued attracting audiences well after release.
Many big films earn strongly for a few days and then slow down quickly. However, Dhurandhar 2 has managed to stay stable for a full month, which is considered a sign of long-term success.
Industry experts often say that a film’s staying power matters as much as its opening weekend. In this case, Dhurandhar 2 has delivered both.
The success is also important for Bollywood, which has faced strong competition from streaming platforms and regional cinema in recent years.
A theatrical success of this scale shows that audiences still turn up in large numbers when a film offers entertainment, scale and star appeal.
Worldwide success and star cast
The film has also performed impressively outside India. Reports suggest that Dhurandhar 2 has earned around Rs 418 crore overseas.
Its total worldwide gross collection is said to be approximately Rs 1,741.73 crore. These figures make it one of the top global performers for an Indian film.
The overseas success highlights Ranveer Singh’s growing popularity among international audiences. Indian films today earn significant revenue from markets such as the Middle East, North America, the UK, Australia and parts of Asia.

Large action films and franchise titles usually perform well abroad, and Dhurandhar 2 appears to have followed that trend.
A major reason behind the film’s popularity is its strong cast. Along with Ranveer Singh in the lead role, the movie features Sara Arjun, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, R Madhavan, Gaurav Gera, Rakesh Bedi, Manav Gohil and Danish Pandor in key roles.
The mix of established stars and supporting talent helped create broad audience appeal.
Ranveer Singh’s performance has received attention from fans, especially for the high-energy action scenes and emotional moments. His screen presence remains one of the film’s biggest attractions.
Director Aditya Dhar, known for handling patriotic and action-driven stories, has also been praised for the scale and pace of the film.
The movie has been produced by Aditya Dhar, Lokesh Dhar and Jyoti Deshpande under B62 Studios and Jio Studios.
As the film completes 30 days in theatres, attention now turns to how much more it can earn in the coming weeks. While collections are expected to slow gradually, its current total has already placed it in a historic position.
With no immediate slowdown in audience interest, the film may continue adding to its already massive earnings.
For Bollywood, Dhurandhar 2 is more than just a hit film. It is a reminder that big-screen spectacles with strong fan support can still create records.
For Ranveer Singh, the success further strengthens his standing as one of the industry’s leading stars.
And for moviegoers, the film’s long run proves that when audiences connect with a story, they continue showing up even after the first wave of excitement fades.
