Before the latest figures were released, expectations for Dhurandhar 2 were already high following its impressive opening week. The film had opened with ₹43 crore from paid previews and garnered ₹102 crore on its first day, setting a strong precedent.
However, as of day 8, Dhurandhar 2 collected ₹30.06 crore, bringing its total domestic net collection to approximately ₹654.03 crore. This marks a significant achievement as the film has now surpassed the domestic lifetime collections of both Stree 2 (₹713.15 crore) and Chhaava (₹716.91 crore).
The film’s total India gross collection now stands at ₹748.52 crore, while its worldwide gross has crossed the ₹1,000 crore mark, reaching ₹1,006.50 crore. This global success highlights the film’s widespread appeal and robust performance in various markets.
Despite the strong figures, there has been a notable decline in showings. On its opening Wednesday, Dhurandhar 2 had a total of 20,352 shows, which drastically reduced to 4,452 shows by day 8, indicating a 78% reduction. This decline in showings could impact future earnings.
In the early hours of day 8, the film minted ₹3.34 crore, with an occupancy rate of about 16.7% across theatres. Such figures suggest that while the film continues to perform well, audience interest may be waning as it enters its second week.
Industry expert Taran Adarsh noted that Dhurandhar 2 has crossed the ₹250 crore mark in overseas markets, further solidifying its status as a major box office player. The film’s strong performance in both domestic and international markets underscores its broad appeal.
As Dhurandhar 2 moves forward, it remains to be seen how it will continue to perform against the backdrop of its impressive opening week and subsequent decline in showings. Details remain unconfirmed regarding potential future earnings and audience retention.
