The Dhurandhar franchise is a historic success
While we anticipated earth-shattering numbers from several big Indian biggies, Dhurandhar came out of the syllabus and proved that, at the end of the day, it’s the content that matters the most. Talking about the first installment, it was released in December 2025 and, thanks to extraordinary word of mouth, minted unbelievable moolah. After earning less than 100 crore on day 1, the film grossed a staggering 1354.84 crore in its lifetime run.
With part one achieving massive commercial success and critical acclaim, the pre-release buzz for the sequel was extremely high. Living up to its hype, Dhurandhar 2 clocked an epic start of over 200 crore, and due to strong word of mouth, it continues to blow our minds even in the second week. In just 9 days, it has grossed 1159.76 crore, and in its lifetime run, it’ll comfortably cross the 2000 crore mark.
