KEY TAKEAWAYS
* Ranveer Singh’s spy thriller Dhurandhar 2 earned a massive Rs 190 crore gross worldwide on its first day.
* The movie collected around Rs 118 crore net in India, a figure that includes Wednesday’s paid premieres (approx Rs. 41 crore net).
* The Telugu dubbed version hits theaters on Saturday, following a completely sold-out start for the Hindi version in Telugu states.
Ranveer Singh and director Aditya Dhar are officially rewriting the box office rulebook. Their highly anticipated spy thriller, Dhurandhar: The Revenge, hit theaters on Thursday and immediately pulled in historic numbers, leaving previous Bollywood records in the dust.
The movie raked in a mammoth Rs 190 crore gross worldwide on its opening day. This makes it the biggest opener in Bollywood history, easily surpassing the massive first-day numbers set by Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan and Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal. In India alone, the film earned Rs 77 crore net on Thursday. When you add the Rs 41 crore from Wednesday’s paid premieres, the total domestic net shoots up to Rs 118 crore.
A Global and Regional Hit
The momentum isn’t just limited to India. The North American market saw the movie pull in over $2 million (around Rs 16 crore) just from premiere shows. Back home, it has officially become the fourth-biggest opener in Indian cinema, sitting behind Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2, Baahubali 2, and RRR. What makes this even more impressive is how well it performed in the Telugu states, where it ran to packed houses despite only the Hindi version being available on day one.
With the Telugu dubbed version arriving in theaters on Saturday, the film’s reach is about to get even bigger. Fans are praising Dhar’s sharp direction and the heavy action sequences that follow up on the massive success of the first Dhurandhar from 2025. Going into the first weekend, it’s clear the movie is on a fast track to joining the Rs 500 crore club, and even higher.
