The Ranveer Singh-led spy thriller Dhurandhar 2 (also known as Dhurandhar: The Revenge) is proving to be a marathon runner at the box office. Even as it enters its fifth week and faces stiff competition from Akshay Kumar’s Bhooth Bangla, the Aditya Dhar directorial is refusing to surrender.
While the film missed out on cracking the Top 3 highest 5th Wednesdays of all time, its steady hold—evidenced by a mere 12% drop—is the kind of stability most blockbusters dream of.

THE STEADY SURVIVOR
What makes Dhurandhar 2 a case study is its incredible resilience. Usually, by the fifth week, films are gasping for breath, especially when a major horror-comedy like Bhooth Bangla arrives to take over 1.17 lakh tickets in advance bookings. However, the Ranveer Singh starrer saw only a 12% decline from its fifth Monday.
The film fell just short of the Top 3 “Fifth Wednesday” records, needing at least ₹2.36 Cr to displace current record-holders. However, with a cumulative India net of ₹1,158.23 Cr, it has already cemented its status as an “All-Time Blockbuster.”
SURPASSING THE GIANTS
| Territory / Metric | Dhurandhar 2 | Previous Record / Benchmark |
| New Zealand | ₹7.1 Cr | Pathaan (₹5.06 Cr) |
| Australia | ₹77.67 Cr | Dhurandhar 1 (₹52.66 Cr) |
| Hindi Belt (Net) | ₹900 Cr+ | Pushpa 2 (₹836.09 Cr) |
| Global Target | ₹1,789.71 Cr | Baahubali 2 (Needs ₹10.29 Cr more) |
The road ahead for Dhurandhar 2 gets tougher with the release of Ginny Weds Sunny 2, which will further eat into its screen count (currently around 3,000). While it may not beat the lifetime India collections of Pushpa 2 (₹1,265.97 Cr), its mission to conquer the ₹1,800 Cr global mark is nearly complete. Ranveer Singh has not just redeemed his box office standing; he has rewritten the record books.
