Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge, starring Ranveer Singh, has delivered a historic opening at the Indian box office, setting new benchmarks for Bollywood.
The film is expected to collect ₹70–75 crore nett on its first full day (Thursday), making it the biggest opening day ever for a Hindi film.
₹110 Crore Opening Day Milestone
Including ₹39 crore nett from paid previews, the total opening day figure is projected to cross ₹110 crore nett. This is a massive achievement, especially for a non-holiday mid-week release.
Even without previews, the film surpasses the previous record held by Jawan (₹64.5 crore nett), highlighting its strong demand across the country.
Regional Performance Breakdown

- Mumbai circuit (excluding Gujarat) delivered outstanding numbers
- Delhi-UP showed strong metro-driven collections
- East Punjab maintained high occupancy
- South circuits, especially Nizam and Mysore, saw impressive turnout
Bengaluru emerged as a standout contributor, with packed shows and exceptional occupancy levels.
Why These Numbers Are Significant
