The splendid start Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar The Revenge has had at the box office globally has ensured the film is a roaring success on its first day itself. The film earned ₹145 crore net domestically and ₹240 crore gross worldwide on day 1, one of the highest in Indian cinema history. Along the way, the Ranveer Singh-starrer broke several records in both Bollywood and pan-India.
A look at some of the major records that Dhurandhar 2 absolutely obliterated:
Highest worldwide opening for a Bollywood film
Dhurandhar 2 earned ₹240 crore gross worldwide on day, on the back of a manic day 1 and record-breaking paid previews. This includes an overseas collection of almost $9.5 million. The previous mark was ₹129 crore, set by Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan in 2023. It is also the second-biggest opening for any Indian film, behind only Pushpa 2’s ₹274-crore start in 2024.
Highest domestic opening for a Bollywood film
In India, Dhurandhar 2 earned ₹145 crore (including ₹43 crore in paid previews). Again, this is the record opening for a Hindi film, beating Jawan’s ₹75 crore mark. Here too, the spy thriller is only behind Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2, which earned ₹164 crore net at the box office upon release.
Highest collections from premieres for an Indian film
Dhurandhar 2 collected ₹ 43 crore net in India and ₹75 crore gross worldwide from its paid previews on Wednesday. This is a new Indian record, beating the mark of Pawan Kalyan’s OG, which earned ₹25 crore last year.
Highest single-day collection for a Bollywood film
Even after discounting its paid previews, Dhurandhar 2 had a manic Thursday. On the day, the film earned ₹102 crore net in India. This is the most any Bollywood film has earned in a single day. The previous record belonged to Jawan, which earned ₹80 crore on its first Sunday (day 4).
Fastest entrant in the 100-crore club for a Hindi film
The 100-crore club was established when Aamir Khan’s Ghajini became the first Indian film to collect ₹100 crore net in India. Dhurandhar 2 reached that milestone on its opening day, becoming the first Hindi film to do so. Previously, films such as Pathaan, Animal, Jawan, and Stree 2 had reached the mark in two days each.
Joint fastest to ₹200 crore for an Indian film
Dhurandhar 2 took just one day to cross ₹200 crore gross worldwide. This is the joint fastest for any Indian film. Previously, Baahubali 2, RRR, and Pushpa 2 also achieved the feat on their respective release days.
Most tickets sold hourly on BookMyShow for an Indian film
On Friday, Dhurandhar 2 set a benchmark, selling 25 lakh tickets across India on various platforms and through spot booking. BookMyShow, India’s largest online ticketing platform, was particularly busy. At one point, 1.47 lakh tickets for Dhurandhar 2 were booked on the platform in just one hour. This broke the previous record of 1.45 lakh set by Pushpa 2.
