The Ranveer Singh-led powerhouse Dhurandhar 2 is rewriting the history books of Indian cinema. After a record-breaking opening weekend, the film is now set to deliver an earth-shattering performance on its first Sunday. Driven by the massive hype from the Gudi Padwa, Ugadi, and Eid holidays, the sequel has reached a fever pitch, leading exhibitors to add over 21,000 shows across the country to meet the insane demand.
The film has already secured an unprecedented 86.14 crore gross (73 crore net) in advance bookings for this Sunday alone. This marks the first time in Bollywood history that a film has amassed over 70 crore net through pre-sales for a single day. With these mind-numbing advance figures and strong over-the-counter ticket sales, the movie is targeting a Sunday collection in the range of 110–115 crore net across all languages.
If these projections hold, the Aditya Dhar directorial is poised to overtake the Sunday records of some of India’s biggest blockbusters. It is currently eyeing the number two spot for the highest Sunday collections ever in India, potentially surpassing the massive 102.3 crore set by RRR. While Pushpa 2 remains at the top with over 141 crore, Dhurandhar 2 is comfortably moving past legends like Baahubali 2 and KGF: Chapter 2.
By potentially breaking these long-standing records, Dhurandhar 2 has solidified its status as a certified phenomenon. Even with a slight dip expected in night shows as audiences prepare for the working Monday, the film’s ability to maintain this level of momentum suggests it is headed toward an unprecedented lifetime total at the domestic box office.
