  • India Net breaches the historic ₹1,000 crore milestone, currently standing at ₹1,031.77 crore.
  • North America total passes $25 million, setting a new benchmark for Indian cinema.
  • GCC release absence impacts potential ₹120–150 crore in additional revenue.
  • Monday drop signals a third-week slowdown, but overall momentum remains strong despite IPL competition.

Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has moved beyond conventional blockbuster metrics to emerge as a defining theatrical event. As of April 7, 2026, the film has crossed ₹1,622 crore worldwide, while its India Net collections stand at ₹1,031.77 crore.

Week 3 Momentum and Market Grip

The third week saw a strong weekend followed by a weekday correction. Day 18 (Sunday) collected ₹28.75 crore, while Day 19 (Monday) dropped to ₹10.00 crore. Premium formats such as IMAX and 4DX continue to maintain occupancy, particularly in metro cities.

In North America, the film has crossed $25 million, surpassing the benchmark set by Baahubali 2. Despite a runtime of 229 minutes, audience retention remains stable.

Global Context and External Factors

The absence of a GCC release remains the largest constraint. Trade estimates suggest a potential ₹120–150 crore gap. With a full rollout in UAE and Saudi Arabia, totals would likely approach ₹1,800 crore.

The “Madrassa standoff” sequence has driven repeat viewership and late-week collections. Director Aditya Dhar confirmed that both parts were shot simultaneously, enabling extended narrative engagement.
