Dhurandhar 2 Needs ₹187 Crore to Claim Domestic Box Office Crown

The Chasing Pack: Ranveer Singh’s Latest Blockbuster Sets Sights on Domestic Record

As Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge enters its fourth week of theatrical release, the film has solidified its status as a commercial juggernaut. Powered by a commanding performance from lead actor Ranveer Singh, the production has officially crossed the ₹1,665 crore milestone in global box office receipts. However, for industry analysts and stakeholders, the narrative has shifted from mere profitability to a high-stakes race for the all-time domestic crown.

Despite its staggering international performance, Dhurandhar 2 currently finds itself trailing the lifetime domestic haul of Pushpa 2. According to current industry tracking, the film requires an additional ₹187 crore in domestic ticket sales to displace Pushpa 2 and claim the title of the highest-grossing film in Indian cinematic history.

Momentum and Critical Reception

The film’s staying power has been bolstered by a wave of high-profile endorsements that have maintained audience interest well into the third week. In a move that signaled significant industry support, director Sandeep Reddy Vanga—a filmmaker known for his own record-shattering box office successes—recently attended a screening alongside superstar Prabhas. Vanga’s public praise for the project has served as a powerful marketing catalyst, helping to sustain footfall during a period when most films typically see a sharp decline in revenue.

For investors and production houses, the performance of Dhurandhar 2 serves as a benchmark for the current appetite of the Indian consumer market. The film’s ability to sustain momentum post-opening weekend underscores the critical importance of long-tail revenue in the post-pandemic cinema landscape.
