Aditya Dhar’s spy spectacle Dhurandhar 2 is rewriting the history books, but as it enters its fifth week, the air is thick with tension. While Ranveer Singh and his squad have already secured the title of the ‘Highest Grossing Bollywood Film’ ever, the ultimate throne—the #1 spot in Indian Cinema—remains a tantalizing, yet distant dream.
With Akshay Kumar’s Bhooth Bangla now haunting the ticket windows, the road ahead for this action juggernaut has suddenly become a lot steeper. Can it pull off a miracle?

THE BATTLE FOR THE TOP SPOT
Dhurandhar 2 has been a relentless beast at the box office. Completing 29 days with over ₹1100 crore in the bank is no small feat—it has officially dethroned every Bollywood predecessor to become the industry’s undisputed king. However, the “Day 29” numbers tell a story of a gradual cooling off. The film saw a 22% drop from its Wednesday earnings, largely due to the arrival of Bhooth Bangla previews that began eating into the late-night show footfalls.
The storytelling in the film—led by Ranveer Singh, Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, and Arjun Rampal—kept audiences hooked for a month, but the “spy-thriller” momentum is now facing the “horror-comedy” wave.
DHURANDHAR 2 VS. PUSHPA 2
The big question on every trade analyst’s mind: Can it beat Pushpa 2?
- Pushpa 2 Lifetime (India Net): ₹1265.97 Crore
- Dhurandhar 2 (Current): ₹1138.30 Crore
- Gap to Bridge: ₹127.67 Crore
While Dhurandhar 2 managed to beat Baahubali 2 to score the 3rd highest 4th week in Indian history, it remained behind the weekly pace set by Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2. Bridging a 127-crore gap during the sunset phase of its theatrical run is a monumental task, especially with screen counts being reduced to accommodate new releases.
Dhurandhar 2 is already a winner, boasting a massive 406% profit on its ₹225 crore investment. While it might fall just short of the “all-time #1 Indian film” crown held by Pushpa 2, its legacy as the biggest Bollywood blockbuster is firmly etched in stone. For Aditya Dhar and Ranveer Singh, this isn’t just a hit; it’s a phenomenon that has set a new benchmark for the spy genre.
