Dhurandhar 2 Crosses ₹500 Cr in 3 Days — Stupendous Achievement

Aditya Dhar and Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar 2 is on a record spree, as the film is all set to hit the ₹500 Cr gross mark worldwide today. With this, Dhurandhar 2 ₹500 Cr milestone will be achieved in just 3 days — a stupendous achievement that places it among Indian cinema’s elite blockbusters.

Only Three Films Have Achieved This Feat

Only three films in Indian cinema have managed to cross the ₹500 Cr mark within 3 days:

  1. Baahubali 2
  2. Pushpa 2
  3. Dhurandhar: The Revenge

What makes Dhurandhar 2’s feat even more sensational is that it has achieved this without a Middle East release, and its dubbed versions were released only on Day 3. This organic growth showcases the film’s massive pan-India appeal.

All Three Are Sequels

Interestingly, all three films that achieved this milestone are sequels, proving that franchise power drives extraordinary box office numbers. Similar to how RRR's historic USA collections demonstrated pan-India films’ global potential, Dhurandhar: The Revenge has shattered records domestically despite limited international releases on opening weekend.

While Salaar's ₹200 Cr achievement in Telugu states was considered extraordinary, Dhurandhar 2 has surpassed it by reaching ₹500 Cr globally in the same timeframe.

Sunday Advance Bookings Cross ₹77 Cr

Coming to the advances of tomorrow, Sunday, Dhurandhar: The Revenge has already clocked ₹77 Cr+ in advance bookings, setting the stage for a record-breaking day at the box office. What a phenomenal weekend the film is witnessing.

With dubbed versions now in theatres and a potential Middle East release on the horizon, Dhurandhar 2 is poised to join the elite club of films heading towards the ₹1000 Cr mark, cementing its status as one of 2026’s biggest blockbusters.

Dhurandhar 2 Telugu Version Crosses Double-Digit Gross

Despite getting postponed from the said date (19th March) and arriving two days later, Dhurandhar 2 is receiving a sensational response for its Telugu dubbed version. Surprisingly, it is the No.1 grosser in the Telugu states today and has already crossed double-digit gross collections on its opening day.

Incredible Achievement Despite Competition

A Hindi dubbed film crossing double-digit collections on the first day is an incredible achievement, especially as it is facing competition from a Tollywood Tier-1 star’s big film on the same day and still dominating. Similar to how Kantara's Telugu version dominated box office collections, Dhurandhar 2 is proving the power of strong content across languages.

This clearly shows how big Part 1 became, even without a Telugu version release in theatres. Don’t be surprised if the film, Dhurandhar 2, collects triple-digit gross in its full run, as the Telugu version has just been released today.

Massive Summer Run Expected

From now on, both the Hindi and Telugu versions are set to contribute huge numbers. Much like Jailer's Telugu version heading towards 100Cr gross, Dhurandhar 2 is positioned for a massive run this summer with both language versions driving collections.

Dhurandhar: The Revenge Creates ₹115 Cr History

Dhurandhar: The Revenge has started hunting records at the box office, and it has already created history, as it scored the biggest day for a Bollywood or Hindi film’s collections. The trade is just astonished by the way the film is registering numbers.

According to the official tracked data, today, Dhurandhar: The Revenge’s tracked gross has already crossed ₹115 Cr across all versions, marking the biggest day for a Bollywood film in history.

Even if we take the Hindi version’s gross in India today, it will be ₹100 Cr, which is an unbelievable number to say the least. The Bollywood trade is now just waiting to see how many records this spy action thriller is going to set at the box office.

Breaking All Benchmarks

The Ranveer Singh-starrer has shattered every existing single-day record for Hindi cinema. The film’s performance marks a significant milestone, surpassing all previous benchmarks set by other Bollywood releases. This achievement comes after the first installment created history with its own record-breaking run.

What Makes This Historic

For context, ₹115 Cr in a single day across all versions is unprecedented territory for any Hindi film. The closest competitors haven’t even crossed the ₹90 Cr mark on their biggest days. This puts Dhurandhar: The Revenge in a league of its own.

The film’s momentum shows no signs of slowing down, and with the sequel's massive box office potential, industry analysts predict it could rewrite multiple records before its theatrical run concludes. The spy thriller’s Pan-India appeal has clearly resonated with audiences across demographics.

With Dhurandhar: The Revenge continuing its rampage, the question now is not whether it will break more records, but how many more milestones it will achieve in the coming days.

Ustaad Bhagat Singh 2 Days Collections: Recovery at Just 30%

Pawan Kalyan‘s latest release Ustaad Bhagat Singh, directed by Harish Shankar, continues its lukewarm run at the theaters. The film’s 2-day collections indicate a concerning recovery status for distributors and buyers.

Day 2 Collections Drop Sharply

After collecting ₹31.7 Cr share worldwide on its opening day (including GST in Telugu states), the film saw a significant crash on Day 2 with collections dropping to around ₹6 Cr share worldwide. The total 2-day share now stands at ₹38 Cr.

With theatrical rights valued at ₹127 Cr, Ustaad Bhagat Singh recovery stands at just 30% after two days — a worrying sign for buyers who are already facing significant losses.

Poor WOM and Clash Impact Performance

The film’s performance has been heavily impacted by poor word-of-mouth and mixed reviews. The dialogue delivery and content also sparked online trolling, which may have affected audience interest.

Adding to the challenges, the clash with Dhurandhar 2 has split the audience, further denting the film’s box office potential during its crucial opening weekend.

Buyers Pin Hopes on Weekend

With recovery at a mere 30%, distributors and buyers are now banking on Day 3 and Day 4 collections, considering the Ramzan holiday and Sunday advantage. The film desperately needs a substantial jump in footfalls to improve the recovery situation and minimize losses for stakeholders.

Dhurandhar 2 Box Office: ₹300 Cr Worldwide in Just 2 Days

Ranveer Singh and Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar 2 is going absolutely bonkers at the box office, as the film collects over ₹300 Cr gross at the worldwide box office in just 2 days, surprising everyone and setting new benchmarks for Bollywood.

Dhurandhar 2 All India Collections

The film opened with massive premieres collections and sustained its momentum through the first weekend:

Premieres: ₹40 Cr nett

Day 1: ₹76 Cr nett

Day 2: ₹71 Cr nett

The total nett for 2 days in India is ₹187 Cr, and the all-India gross stands at ₹225 Cr. This makes it the first Bollywood film to cross the ₹200 Cr gross mark in India within just 2 days, establishing a new industry record.

Worldwide Box Office Rampage

Including overseas collections, the worldwide gross of Dhurandhar 2 has already crossed ₹300 Cr in just 2 days. This phenomenal performance puts the sequel on track to surpass its predecessor, which went on to become the biggest grosser of the year with ₹850 Cr.

Today, the film is set for its biggest day at the box office, and trade experts say that it is just the start of a sensational run, with the Telugu version releasing today.

Record-Breaking Trajectory

The ₹300 Cr milestone in 2 days positions Dhurandhar 2 among the fastest-growing releases at the Indian box office. With strong word-of-mouth and the Telugu version now in theaters, the film is expected to maintain its momentum through the extended weekend and beyond.

Trade analysts predict that Dhurandhar 2 could challenge several all-time records if it sustains this pace, making it one of the most significant releases of the year.

Ustaad Bhagat Singh USA Collections Crash, 60% Loss Incoming

Ustaad Bhagat Singh’s USA theatrical rights were sold for ₹10 Cr. Looking at this, trade analysts initially felt breakeven would be easy, as it was valued at around $2.3M–$2.4M. OG collected over $3M from premieres alone. Even though the film doesn’t carry the same craze as OG, an average talk was expected to be enough for it to reach breakeven.

Lowest Premieres Ever for a Pawan Kalyan Film

Shockingly, the pre-sales of Ustaad Bhagat Singh in the USA indicated the lowest buzz ever for a Pawan Kalyan film. The premieres opened to less than a $500K start. With poor reviews and negative WOM from early shows in the USA, the film crashed after premieres drastically.

Buyers Face Massive Losses

In just 2 days, the USA collections stand at around $600K. With breakeven set at $2.4M, there is now almost no chance for the film to even reach $1M. Given the poor performance, buyers who invested heavily in the theatrical business are likely to face more than 60% losses.

The film’s disastrous USA run reflects the importance of pre-release buzz and strong word-of-mouth in overseas markets.

Why Taran Adarsh Isn’t Reporting Dhurandhar 2 Box Office

Dhurandhar: The Revenge, released on March 19, delivered a massive ₹190 Cr opening gross at the worldwide box office. But Bollywood audiences are puzzled by a notable silence: trade analyst Taran Adarsh isn’t reporting the Dhurandhar 2 collections.

Adarsh’s Unusual Silence on Dhurandhar 2

Taran Adarsh, known for meticulously tracking every major release, has maintained complete silence on Dhurandhar 2 box office numbers since day one. This is particularly striking for a film that’s breaking records and dominating the box office.

Interestingly, Adarsh’s pattern with the franchise has been inconsistent. For the first Dhurandhar, he didn’t review the film on opening day but started reporting collections from day one. The makers even publicized his numbers as the official collections.

Different Approach for the Sequel

For Dhurandhar: The Revenge, Adarsh flipped his approach entirely. He published a review on premiere day before most critics weighed in, yet he hasn’t shared a single box office update since.

With Dhurandhar 2 targeting the ₹1300 Cr benchmark set by the first installment, the absence of Adarsh’s tracking has created a noticeable gap in Bollywood trade circles. Fans and industry watchers continue to speculate about the reason behind this departure from his usual reporting pattern.

Telugu Stars Praise Dhurandhar 2, Bollywood Big Stars Silent

Following the release of Aditya Dhar’s spy thriller Dhurandhar 2 (Dhurandhar: The Revenge) on March 19, 2026, a significant number of Telugu cinema’s most prominent figures have publicly lauded the high-octane film, but surprisingly, Bollywood’s biggest stars have remained silent.

Telugu Industry’s Overwhelming Response

Mahesh Babu, Allu Arjun, NTR, and Ram Charan appreciated the film’s seamless blend of scale and emotion. Vijay Deverakonda hailed director Aditya Dhar as a “mad genius,” while even big directors like Shankar and recently, SS Rajamouli also appreciated and said that the second part surpassed the first in both scale and soul.

Bollywood’s Notable Silence

But coming to Bollywood, the big or known stars did not praise or post anything about Dhurandhar 2 Bollywood. Senior directors like Rakesh Roshan, actors like Preity Zinta, Karthik Aaryan, and Ananya Panday have appreciated the film, but the major superstars are yet to respond.

Industry Debate on Star Support

A section of fans says that Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan do not often post about other movies or praise them publicly. However, another section argues that films like Dhurandhar 2 should be supported or praised for their courage and box office success.

This pattern of selective appreciation from big stars has been observed before in the industry. The contrast between regional industries’ vocal support and Bollywood’s silence has sparked conversations about industry dynamics and cross-promotion practices.

Ustaad Bhagat Singh Day 2 Box Office: Shocking 76% Drop

Ustaad Bhagat Singh has crashed on Day 2 with a massive drop across all territories after a below-par opening day. The Pawan Kalyan starrer opened with ₹50 Cr gross worldwide on Day 1, but Day 2 collections fell to around ₹12 Cr worldwide, taking the total 2-day gross to ₹62 Cr.

Recovery Target Looking Difficult

With a breakeven target of ₹200 Cr, the film has recovered only 31% in two days, which is a big concern for theatres. The shocking part is that even today (Day 3), which is a Ramzan holiday, the advances are lower than Day 2.

Walk-ins are expected to be stronger due to the festive and weekend advantage today and tomorrow. However, the film faces stiff competition from Dhurandhar 2 (Telugu version), which released today and is already becoming the No.1 option in most centres.

Weekend Crucial for Survival

At the current pace, Ustaad Bhagat Singh is likely to complete nearly 90% of its theatrical run by this weekend itself. The film needs at least double Day 2 collections over today and tomorrow to improve recovery for buyers.

The film's release had generated significant buzz, but the on-ground response has not matched expectations. Theatre occupancies remain weak despite the holiday advantage, and the film will need a major turnaround over the weekend to avoid being labeled a theatrical disaster.
