Dhurandhar 2 Box Office Day 21: Can Ranveer Singh’s Film Beat Pushpa 2?

Dhurandhar: The Revenge, directed by Aditya Dhar and starring Ranveer Singh, continues its remarkable box office run even as it enters its third week. On Day 21, the film recorded its lowest single-day earnings so far, yet maintained a strong overall performance. With a total of ₹1,041.27 crore nett in India and ₹1,653.67 crore worldwide, the film is now closing in on a major milestone—overtaking Pushpa 2 to become one of the highest-grossing Indian films of all time. The question now is not whether it’s a hit (that ship sailed long ago), but whether it can climb even higher in the record books.

Box Office Overview: Day 21 Performance

After dominating theatres for three weeks, Dhurandhar 2 saw a natural slowdown on its third Wednesday. The film collected ₹7.90 crore nett on Day 21, marking its lowest single-day figure so far. However, this dip is typical for films in their third week and does little to diminish its overall success.

Despite the slowdown, the film remains steady and continues to attract audiences, especially in key markets.

Week-Wise Box Office Breakdown in India

The film’s journey at the Indian box office has been nothing short of extraordinary. A massive opening week laid the foundation, followed by strong second-week numbers and consistent weekday collections.

• Week 1: ₹674.17 crore
• Week 2: ₹263.65 crore
• Friday: ₹21.55 crore
• Saturday: ₹25.65 crore
• Sunday: ₹28.25 crore
• Monday: ₹10 crore
• Tuesday: ₹10.10 crore
• Wednesday: ₹7.90 crore
• Total: ₹1,041.27 crore

The numbers clearly show a gradual decline, which is expected as the film moves deeper into its theatrical run. However, the consistency remains impressive.

Global Race: Chasing Pushpa 2 and Beyond

Dhurandhar 2 currently ranks as the fourth highest-grossing Indian film worldwide. It trails behind three major blockbusters:

• Pushpa 2
• Baahubali 2: The Conclusion
• Dangal

With just around ₹100 crore more needed to surpass Pushpa 2, the film is well within striking distance. However, surpassing Baahubali 2 or Dangal may require sustained performance over the coming weeks.

Given its current pace, the film’s final position will depend heavily on weekday stability and any potential boost from weekends or special screenings.

Karnataka Box Office: A Historic Run in the Making

One of the most remarkable aspects of Dhurandhar 2’s success is its performance in Karnataka. The film has already crossed ₹120 crore in the state and is now on the verge of breaking a long-standing record.

It has been nearly a decade since Baahubali 2: The Conclusion became the highest-grossing non-Kannada film in Karnataka with ₹129 crore. Dhurandhar 2 is expected to surpass this figure soon.

Why This Matters

• Karnataka is traditionally dominated by Kannada films
• Very few non-Kannada films achieve major success here
• Breaking this record would mark a significant milestone for Bollywood

This achievement highlights the film’s pan-India appeal and its ability to connect with audiences across linguistic boundaries.

How Dhurandhar 2 Became a Global Phenomenon

The success of Dhurandhar 2 is not accidental—it is the result of multiple factors coming together perfectly.

Key Reasons Behind Its Success

• Star Power: Ranveer Singh’s strong screen presence and mass appeal
• Direction: Aditya Dhar’s gripping storytelling and масштаб execution
• Genre Appeal: Spy thrillers continue to attract large audiences
• Pan-India Reach: Strong performance across multiple regions
• Word of Mouth: Positive audience response sustaining momentum

The film has also benefited from a relatively clear release window, allowing it to dominate screens without significant competition.

Cast and Crew: Powerhouse Performances

Dhurandhar: The Revenge features a strong ensemble cast that has contributed significantly to its success.

• Ranveer Singh (Lead)
• Sanjay Dutt
• Arjun Rampal
• R Madhavan
• Rakesh Bedi
• Danish Pandor
• Sara Arjun

The film, written, directed, and produced by Aditya Dhar, showcases a blend of action, drama, and emotional depth, making it appealing to a wide audience.

What Lies Ahead: Can It Cross the Next Milestone?

As Dhurandhar 2 enters its fourth week, the big question is whether it can maintain enough momentum to surpass Pushpa 2 and climb higher in the global rankings.

While weekday collections are expected to remain modest, strong weekend growth could provide the necessary push. Additionally, international markets may continue to contribute significantly to its total.

In box office terms, the film is now in a marathon phase rather than a sprint. And if it keeps up even a steady pace, History could still be rewritten.

Conclusion: A Record-Breaking Journey Nears Its Peak

Dhurandhar 2 has already cemented its place as one of the biggest Indian films of all time. With over ₹1,650 crore collected worldwide and more milestones within reach, its journey is far from over.

Despite a slight slowdown on Day 21, the film remains strong and continues to draw audiences across regions. Its performance in markets like Karnataka further underscores its widespread appeal.

Looking ahead, all eyes are on whether it can cross the final hurdle and surpass Pushpa 2. Regardless of the outcome, one thing is clear—Dhurandhar 2 has redefined box office success and set a new benchmark for future releases.
