With just three weeks left, Bollywood’s biggest upcoming spectacle, Dhurandhar 2, is gearing up for a massive worldwide release on March 19 across multiple languages. Everyone is eagerly waiting for the film to arrive in theatres.
The first installment created history at the Hindi box office, emerging as an Industry Hit and breaking several long-standing records. Naturally, the phenomenal success of Part 1 has built sky-high expectations for the sequel.
Can Dhurandhar 2 Beat Jawan’s Opening Records?
Currently, Jawan holds the record as the biggest Bollywood opener with:
₹90 Cr gross in India
₹130 Cr gross worldwide
Trade circles believe Dhurandhar 2 is set to challenge and surpass both these benchmarks comfortably.
The early projections indicate a possible ₹100 Cr opening day in India, and around ₹150 Cr worldwide opening gross.
If achieved, it would mark the first-ever ₹100 Cr opening day for a Bollywood film in India, setting a new industry milestone.
Toxic Clash: Screen Count Pressure?
However, there is one major hurdle. On the same day, Toxic is also getting released in multiple languages, leading to a significant screen division. This clash may reduce overall screen count for Dhurandhar 2 on March 19, and create massive ticket demand pressure in key circuits.
Despite the clash, craze, and anticipation, extraordinary occupancy levels are expected across all territories. Unlike the first part, which was released only in Hindi, Dhurandhar 2 is hitting screens in:
Hindi
Telugu
Tamil
Malayalam
Kannada
This pan-India strategy is expected to bring strong numbers from the South markets as well, significantly boosting the worldwide total.
