Dhurandhar 2 smashed all records on its third day as the Eid holiday saw box office carnage everywhere. The film collected an insane 97 crore nett which is 20 crore nett more than anything that has been seen before. The film got going in languages in full in the South also and including them it is a comfortable 100 crore nett plus as the collections from languages should be around 5-6 crore nett. If you include the Hindi version then the film was doing better in Nizam / Andhra than the local big Telugu release Ustaad Bhagat Singh on Saturday.
The total collections of the film are 284 crore nett including paid previews in its Hindi version and there is still Sunday to come. It was the Eid national holiday on Saturday but Eid plays out over a couple of days and with the second day of Eid coming on Sunday it will more box office carnage and it will be no surprise if the film gets a similar collection to Saturday and they way this film is going even more would be no surprise. There were areas that went into top gear yesterday only and that will continue on Sunday.
When a film works like it can go anywhere and even with these historic collections initially you can see holds over time which would be unthinkable for a film opening at these levels. The collections are just historic everywhere as Mumbai will cross 100 crore nett today while Delhi / UP is around 60 crore nett. East Punjab stands at around 27 crore nett. These three circuits will be contributing over 200 crore nett by the end of this extended weekend. South India is also historic with Mysore at 25 crore nett and Nizam / Andhra at around 22 crore nett. The wait is now for the weekdays as the ramage will continue.
It would be no surprise that it covers the lifetime business of all original Hindi films in its extended first week except for Dhurandhar (2025). The story of this film started on 5th December 2025 when someone in the camp had little confidence and there was good amount of feeding and now a few months later the second part of the film going to puts its name among the 15 odd greatest films ever seen in history.
