While geopolitical tensions grip the headlines, Ranveer Singh’s “Lyari Saga” continues its historic rampage through the Indian box office. Entering its 20th day of release, Dhurandhar 2 has officially crossed the milestone of India’s most legendary blockbusters, though one final hurdle remains.
The Numbers Breakdown (Day 20)
The film maintained steady momentum on Tuesday, proving that its “long-run” potential is still intact despite the usual weekday dip.
-
Tuesday Collection: ₹10.10 crore
-
Total Domestic (Net): ₹1,033.37 crore
-
Total Domestic (Gross): ₹1,237.21 crore
-
Worldwide Gross: ₹1,641.21 crore
Dhurandhar 2 has now officially surpassed the domestic net of SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali 2 (₹1,030.42 crore), making it the second-highest-earning film in Indian history.
The Race for #1: Dhurandhar 2 vs. Pushpa 2
To become the highest-earning film ever in the domestic market, Ranveer Singh must topple Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2. The gap is narrowing, but the challenge is steep:
| Feature | Pushpa 2 (Net) | Dhurandhar 2 (Net) |
| Total Domestic Net | ₹1,234.10 crore | ₹1,033.37 crore |
| Hindi Market Contribution | ₹945.75 crore | ₹960.54 crore |
| South Indian Market | ₹511.70 crore | (Significantly Lower) |
| Remaining Gap | — | ₹200.73 crore |
The Strategic Divide: While Dhurandhar 2 has actually outperformed Pushpa 2 in the Hindi-speaking belt, it lacks the massive “dual-engine” boost from the Southern states (Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala) that propelled Allu Arjun’s sequel to the top spot.
A Record-Breaking Legacy
Directed by Aditya Dhar, the Dhurandhar franchise has become a juggernaut in record time:
-
Fastest Growth: The sequel surpassed the lifetime haul of the first Dhurandhar (released Dec 2025) in just 11 days.
-
Massive Opening: Started its journey on March 19 with a staggering ₹102.55 crore opening day.
-
Star-Studded Cast: The film’s success is fueled by the returning ensemble of Ranveer Singh, Arjun Rampal, R. Madhavan, and Sanjay Dutt.
The Verdict: For Dhurandhar 2 to bridge the ₹200 crore gap, it will need an “unprecedented marathon run” through late April. With Cocktail 2 set for June, the film has a clear window to continue its pursuit of the crown, provided domestic interest remains high amidst the ongoing regional news cycle.
