The Day 19 figure of Rs 10 crore represents a 65.2% drop from Sunday’s net collection of Rs 28.75 crore. This marked the weakest single day for the film since its March 19 release, a pattern typical for Bollywood blockbusters entering their third Monday.
Overall occupancy for the film on Day 19 stood at 13.67% across India. Morning shows registered just 9.38%, while evening screenings touched 16.08% as viewers headed to cinemas after work.
Hindi screenings continued to dominate, generating Rs 9.50 crore of the nationwide net from 12,702 shows. All four South Indian language versions together contributed Rs 0.50 crore from 1,034 shows.
First Bollywood Film to Enter the Rs 1,000 Crore Club
The milestone is a landmark moment for Hindi cinema. The Aditya Dhar directorial crossed the Rs 1,000 crore net mark in India by Day 19, becoming the first Hindi film to do so.
With Rs 1,010 crore on Day 17, Dhurandhar 2 made history at the Indian box office by becoming the first Bollywood film to enter the 1,000 crore club. Before this, only Baahubali 2 and Pushpa 2 achieved the feat.
In its opening week alone, the film earned Rs 674.17 crore net in India. The second week added another Rs 263.65 crore, proving that the film’s momentum remained strong well beyond its initial release window. Together, the first two weeks accounted for over Rs 937 crore, one of the most consistent two-week runs in Indian cinema history.
Speaking to Bollywood Hungama, director Aditya Dhar confirmed that the combined budget for both Dhurandhar films was about Rs 255 crore. With the sequel alone reportedly budgeted at around Rs 225 to 250 crore, the returns are enormous.
The film has also shattered ticketing records. According to Sacnilk, Dhurandhar 2 crossed 15 million ticket sales on BookMyShow, becoming the first Bollywood film to reach this mark. On the pan-India level, it is the fourth film ever to cross 15 million tickets.
Dhurandhar Revenge Worldwide Collection Nears Rs 1,630 Crore
Overseas, the film collected Rs 6 crore on Day 19, taking its total overseas gross to Rs 400 crore. This pushed the worldwide gross collection to Rs 1,625.72 crore.
According to Variety, the film crossed INR 1,622 crore ($174.4 million) worldwide through its third weekend, becoming the first Indian film to surpass $25 million in North America.
In Germany, the film established itself as the highest-grossing Indian title of all time in the territory by becoming the first to cross the one million euro threshold. Dhurandhar: The Revenge has now grossed north of $26 million in North America.
The overseas performance is especially remarkable because the film was banned in all Gulf Cooperation Council countries, a region that traditionally drives a large chunk of Bollywood’s international revenue.
The sequel played across roughly 2,200 cinemas and 3,000 screens internationally, expanding into non-traditional markets including Finland, Uruguay, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Romania, Chile, Mexico and Cyprus.
Key Takeaway: Dhurandhar: The Revenge is the first Bollywood film to cross Rs 1,000 crore net in India and the first Indian film to surpass $25 million in North America, rewriting the record books for Hindi cinema on both domestic and international fronts.
