Dhurandhar 2 Crosses ₹1500 Crore in 19 Days: Eyes Pushpa 2

0

Dhurandhar 2 has created box office history by crossing ₹1500 crore worldwide in just 19 days, becoming the fastest Indian film ever to reach this milestone.

With this sensational feat, the film has now become only the fourth Indian film to enter the prestigious ₹1500 crore club, joining the elite ₹1500 crore club alongside Dangal, Baahubali 2, and Pushpa 2.

₹1500 Crore Club: Elite League of Indian Cinema

The ₹1500 crore milestone is one of the most difficult benchmarks in Indian cinema, and only a handful of films have managed to reach this extraordinary mark.

FilmWorldwide GrossDays to ₹1500 Cr
Dhurandhar 2₹1500 Cr+19 Days
Pushpa 2₹1665 Cr23 Days (approx)
Baahubali 2₹1800 Cr28 Days (approx)
Dangal₹1900 Cr+35 Days (approx)

The film’s remarkable pace has once again underlined its massive popularity and strong worldwide pull. However, despite this historic achievement, recent trends suggest the film’s box office momentum may be slowing down.

Day 19 Collections Signal Momentum Shift

On Day 19, the film’s India net collections dropped to single digits, clearly indicating a decline in its box office momentum after an extraordinary run in the first two weeks.

Because of this slowdown, surpassing Pushpa 2’s ₹1665 crore worldwide total now appears increasingly challenging. The battle for the third spot between Dhurandhar 2 and Pushpa 2 has taken an interesting turn with the current trend.

Race for All-Time Top 3 Position

As for the top two spots among Indian grossers, they still seem out of reach at the moment. Dangal continues to hold a towering position with around ₹1900 crore+ gross worldwide, while Baahubali 2 remains another giant with approximately ₹1800 crore gross.

RankFilmWorldwide GrossStatus

2Baahubali 2₹1800 CrSafe
3Pushpa 2₹1665 CrUnder threat
4Dhurandhar 2₹1500 Cr+Chasing #3

Both Dangal and Baahubali 2 are expected to retain their positions as the top two highest-grossing Indian films.

This now turns the spotlight on the battle for the third spot, where Dhurandhar 2 is competing directly with Pushpa 2. However, considering the present trend and the visible drop in collections, the chances of Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge overtaking Pushpa 2 currently look difficult.

Historic Achievement Despite Challenges

Even so, crossing ₹1500 crore in just 19 days is a monumental achievement, and Dhurandhar 2 has already secured its place among the biggest blockbusters in Indian cinema history. The film’s opening weeks were nothing short of phenomenal, setting new benchmarks for Indian cinema globally.

With the weekend approaching, all eyes will be on whether the film can sustain momentum and close the ₹165 crore gap with Pushpa 2 to claim the third position in the all-time Indian box office list.

0

The much-awaited Allu Arjun starrer AA22 is finally getting its big reveal. The makers have officially confirmed that the AA22 first look poster and title announcement will drop on 8th April 2026, marking Allu Arjun‘s birthday.

The makers clearly want to ensure that the visual effects are polished to perfection before unveiling any video content. This cautious approach makes strategic sense in today’s digital age, where audiences are quick to judge early promotional material.

A recent example that likely influenced this decision is the criticism faced by Ramayana featuring Ranbir Kapoor, where early glimpses drew mixed reactions.

First Look Poster Expected to Create Massive Buzz

If these reports hold true, the birthday surprise is set to elevate expectations for what is already one of the most anticipated collaborations in Indian cinema.

With just hours remaining until 8th April, all eyes are now on this birthday announcement. The combination of Allu Arjun‘s pan-India stardom and Atlee‘s blockbuster track record has already positioned AA22 as one of 2026’s biggest releases, and this first look is expected to amplify that buzz significantly.
