Dhurandhar 2 Approaches Rs 1500 Crore Milestone Amidst Box Office Dominance
Dhurandhar 2's Box Office Success
The film Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge is on a remarkable journey at the box office, nearing the impressive Rs 1500 crore mark globally. After 14 days in theaters, including paid previews, it has amassed a staggering Rs 1,466 crore worldwide, placing it among the top five highest-grossing Indian films ever. Currently, it ranks fourth, following Dangal, Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, and Pushpa 2: The Rule. The question remains: can it surpass these films? According to Sacnilk, the film's collection on Day 14 was Rs 20.10 crore, bringing its total in India to Rs 920 crore across all languages. This remarkable achievement within just two weeks showcases the film's strong momentum.
As it stands, Dangal holds the title of the highest-grossing Indian film globally, with around Rs 2,070 crore, largely due to its phenomenal performance in China, where it earned over Rs 1,300 crore. Baahubali 2 follows with approximately Rs 1,788 crore, while Pushpa 2 is close behind at around Rs 1,742 crore. With Dhurandhar 2 rapidly approaching these figures, it will be intriguing to see if it can break existing box office records. However, three key factors will influence its final earnings.
No Major Releases to Challenge Dhurandhar 2
No big release to stop Dhurandhar 2 wave
In the domestic market, Dhurandhar 2 continues to dominate. By the end of its second week, it grossed Rs 1,101.47 crore in India, entering the prestigious 1000 crore club. However, it still trails behind Pushpa 2’s India gross of approximately Rs 1,471 crore and Baahubali 2’s Rs 1,416 crore. If the current trend persists for another two to three weeks, there is a realistic chance for it to surpass both films domestically. The only significant release expected during this period is Akshay Kumar's Bhooth Bangla. Although there has been no official announcement regarding its April 10 release, rumors suggest it may debut on April 17. This could provide Dhurandhar 2 with a larger window and increased profits.
Challenges in the Gulf Market
No Gulf release for Dhurandhar 2
A notable setback for Dhurandhar: The Revenge is its lack of a release in the Gulf region. This market is crucial for major Indian films, particularly action genres. The absence of this territory could result in a loss of approximately Rs 200–250 crore in potential overseas revenue, which could be vital in its quest to surpass Baahubali 2 and Pushpa 2 globally. It is important to note that both Dhurandhar and Dhurandhar 2 have been banned in the Gulf region.
Dangal's Record Remains Intact?
Dangal's record to stay unbroken?
While Dhurandhar 2 may have a chance to claim the second spot, the top position appears challenging when considering worldwide gross. However, comparisons with Dangal require context. The film's record-breaking total was significantly enhanced by its release in China, which occurred after its initial run. Without this, its worldwide gross was much lower. If Dhurandhar 2 secures a release in China later, a more equitable comparison could be made. Nevertheless, in terms of sheer numbers, Dangal's record seems secure.
