Ranveer Singh has just delivered a box office earthquake. Dhurandhar 2, directed by Aditya Dhar, has not just opened big, it has rewritten history within hours of release. With a staggering worldwide gross of Rs 235.74 crore on Day 1, Dhurandhar: The Revenge has officially emerged as the second biggest opener in Indian cinema history. What makes this achievement even more remarkable is the fact that it stands as the only Bollywood film in the top 10 global openers, breaking the long-standing dominance of South Indian cinema.
This is not just a successful opening. This is a statement. Bollywood is back in the biggest way possible.
Dhurandhar 2 Historic Entry Into The 200 Crore Club
Ranveer Singh has achieved something extraordinary with Dhurandhar 2. The film has comfortably crossed the Rs 200 crore mark globally on its opening day itself. This puts it ahead of mega blockbusters like RRR and Baahubali 2, both of which were considered untouchable benchmarks.
The only film that remains ahead is Pushpa 2: The Rule, which still holds the record with Rs 275.2 crore. But what Ranveer Singh has managed here is nothing short of historic. He has positioned himself as a serious challenger to the South’s box office supremacy.
