The film’s remarkable acceptance in traditionally South-dominated territories has shocked trade analysts and industry insiders alike.
As per the latest reports, the film has collected a massive ₹300.01 crore gross from South Indian states after 51 days in theatres.

First Non-South Film To Enter ₹300 Cr Club In South India
For years, South Indian territories were considered difficult markets for Bollywood films. While movies like Jawan, Pathaan, and Animal performed strongly, no Hindi film had ever crossed the ₹300 crore milestone in South Indian states.
That record now belongs to Dhurandhar 2.
The film had already surpassed Avatar: The Way Of Water to become the highest-grossing non-South film in South India. It has now gone one step ahead by becoming the first Hindi film to achieve the ₹300 crore benchmark in the region.
Karnataka Emerges As The Biggest Market
One of the most shocking aspects of the film’s performance has been Karnataka. The state alone has contributed ₹141.12 crore gross, making it the biggest South Indian market for the Ranveer Singh starrer.
Trade experts believe the film’s powerful action sequences, emotional storytelling, and strong word-of-mouth helped it connect deeply with audiences across the South belt. The dubbed versions also received a strong response, especially during the first four weeks of release.
Dhurandhar 2 Leaves Jawan Far Behind
Among Bollywood films, Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan previously held a massive record in South Indian territories with ₹188.13 crore gross. However, Dhurandhar 2 has now crossed that number comfortably and currently leads by a huge margin.
The Ranveer Singh film is reportedly ahead of Jawan by ₹111.88 crore in South Indian states.
Dhurandhar 2 Worldwide Box Office Run Remains Historic
The historic South Indian performance is only one part of the film’s overall success story. The film has already crossed major milestones globally and continues to dominate the box office charts even after several weeks in theatres.
Reports suggest that Dhurandhar 2 has already crossed ₹1791 crore worldwide during its historic theatrical run.
The film has also surpassed several all-time Indian box office records and is currently among the biggest Indian blockbusters ever released.
Why Dhurandhar 2 Became A Pan-India Phenomenon
Several factors contributed to the film’s unbelievable success across India:
- Strong word-of-mouth among audiences
- Ranveer Singh’s powerful performance
- Aditya Dhar’s large-scale action direction
- Massive repeat audience support
- Excellent dubbed version response
- Strong hold in Karnataka and Telugu states
The film managed to appeal to both mass audiences and multiplex viewers, which helped it sustain collections for several weeks.
Can Dhurandhar 2 Become The Highest-Grossing Indian Film Ever?
With the film still running successfully in theatres, all eyes are now on its final lifetime collection. Industry experts believe the film still has enough momentum left to continue creating records in the coming days.
If the current trend continues, Dhurandhar 2 could finish its theatrical journey among the biggest Indian blockbusters of all time.
Conclusion
Dhurandhar 2 has achieved what once seemed impossible for a Bollywood film. By crossing ₹300.01 crore gross in South Indian states, the Ranveer Singh starrer has rewritten box office history and proved that Hindi cinema can dominate even traditionally regional strongholds.
From Karnataka to Telangana, the film has delivered record-breaking numbers everywhere, making it one of the most successful Indian films ever released.
With its historic theatrical run still ongoing, Dhurandhar 2 continues to set new benchmarks for Bollywood cinema.
