Ranveer Singh and Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar is having a rampage weekend at the box office, as the film is scoring more numbers on the second weekend than on the first weekend. Looking at the film’s success, it will be good for the makers if they postpone Dhurandhar 2 from its announced date, March 19, 2026.
Released on December 5, the spy action thriller/drama received positive reviews and gained strength at the box office with each passing day. Today, the film stunned the trade by breaking Pushpa 2’s 2nd Saturday Hindi net (40 Cr+) by a 25% margin with 50 Cr+ net. The film is on track to even beat Pushpa 2’s lifetime net in India for Hindi to emerge as the all-time no. 1 grosser.
So, if the makers postpone Dhurandhar 2 to December 2026, it will be the best decision for its box office prospects. Looking at the first part’s storm in theaters, it is expected to have a strong theatrical run until January. After the OTT release, the film will need some breathing space to attract more audiences, especially in the South.
Furthermore, the March 19th date provides insufficient time for Part 2 promotions and buzz-building. A December release would be the proper choice for the sequel.
