'Dhurandhar 2' daily collection drops to ₹1cr; earns ₹1,782cr worldwide
What's the story
The espionage thriller Dhurandhar: The Revenge, directed by Aditya Dhar and starring Ranveer Singh, has completed its 42nd day in theaters. It managed to earn only ₹1cr on Wednesday in India. The film is currently the third-highest-grossing Indian film ever and is on a record-breaking spree. It is chasing two records: the global gross of Baahubali 2 and the domestic haul of Pushpa 2.
Record chase
'Dhurandhar 2' is just behind 'Baahubali 2'
Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, released in 2017, has a global gross of ₹1,788.06cr- a nine-year-old record for the second-highest-grossing Indian film globally. Dhurandhar 2 is currently at ₹1,782.15cr (as per Sacnilk), just a little behind! With its current daily collection of ₹1-1.5cr (combined domestic and overseas), the record could be broken this week.
Domestic record
Will it break 'Pushpa 2's record?
Allu Arjun's Pushpa 2: The Rule holds the domestic net record at ₹1,234.1cr. With Dhurandhar 2 currently at ₹1,133.94cr India net, this gap is also not unachievable. The seventh weekend will be crucial in determining how close Dhurandhar 2 can get to this all-time domestic crown before its theatrical run ends.
