As the Indian box office enters a new phase of competition, Ranveer Singh’s magnum opus, Dhurandhar 2, continues to hold its ground with remarkable resilience.
On its 32nd day of release Sunday, April 19, 2026—the spy thriller directed by Aditya Dhar collected ₹4.60 crore, taking its total domestic net collection to a staggering ₹1,115.07 crore. While the film has faced a formidable challenge from the newly released Akshay Kumar starrer Bhooth Bangla, it remains a dominant force, already cementing its status as one of the highest-grossing Indian films in history.
The journey of Dhurandhar 2 has been nothing short of legendary. Since its release on March 19, the film has shattered records previously held by blockbusters like Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, RRR, and KGF: Chapter 2. With a total India gross now standing at ₹1,334.73 crore, the film is currently chasing the lifetime domestic record of Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2: The Rise. The narrative, which follows Ranveer Singh’s character infiltrating the underworld of Karachi, has struck a chord with the masses, further bolstered by stellar performances from R. Madhavan and Arjun Rampal.
Despite the “Bhooth Bangla wave” sweeping across theaters this weekend with Akshay Kumar’s horror-comedy raking in over ₹20 crore on Sunday alone Dhurandhar 2 has benefited from the celebratory spirit of Akshaya Tritiya.
As the film nears the end of its historic theatrical run, the industry is closely watching to see if it can bridge the final gap to become the #1 Indian film of all time. Regardless of the final tally, Aditya Dhar has successfully built India’s most profitable franchise, reportedly surpassing the YRF Spy Universe in terms of ROI. For Ranveer Singh, the success of Dhurandhar 2 marks a career-defining milestone, proving that high-concept geopolitical thrillers combined with raw stardom remain a winning formula for the Indian audience.
