What unfolded in the second weekend of Dhurandhar is something the Hindi film industry doesn’t witness often. Weekend 2 is usually about sustaining momentum, holding ground, and managing a respectable drop after a strong opening. But here, the narrative flipped completely. Instead of slowing down, Dhurandhar exploded with greater force, proving that when word of mouth turns volcanic, numbers don’t just grow — they detonate.
This is not the story of a film merely running successfully. This is the story of a film that has completely rewritten the rulebook of second-weekend business. Trade expectations were already high after a sensational first week. What followed was nothing short of historic.
Second Weekend That Changed Everything
From Friday morning itself, it was clear that something extraordinary was brewing. Occupancies were massive across multiplexes, while mass belts that had already turned aggressive in Week 1 went into full beast mode. By Saturday afternoon, theatres were packed to capacity. By Sunday, it was complete mayhem.
Late-night shows were added at several centres. Family audiences, youth crowds, and repeat viewers poured in. The film didn’t just maintain its dominance — it multiplied it. The second Saturday and Sunday turned into twin juggernauts, pushing the film into territory that very few Hindi releases have ever touched.
The biggest shocker? The second weekend didn’t just outperform Weekend 1. It crushed it with a staggering growth, something almost unheard of at this scale.

Why Dhurandhar Is Operating On Another Level
The reasons are crystal clear. Ranveer Singh’s performance has become a talking point across demographics. Akshaye Khanna’s controlled intensity adds gravitas. Sanjay Dutt and Arjun Rampal bring sheer force. R. Madhavan’s presence elevates the narrative. Above all, Aditya Dhar’s storytelling has struck an emotional and visceral chord.
This isn’t a film people are watching casually. This is a film people are recommending passionately. Repeat audiences have now become a massive driving force. Many centres reported stronger occupancies in Weekend 2 than in the opening weekend. That’s when a film stops behaving like a release and starts behaving like a movement.

Now comes the headline moment that cements Dhurandhar as an all-time blockbuster. After delivering a massive ₹106.50 crore in Weekend 1, the film registered an astonishing ₹146.60 crore in Weekend 2. That is a 37.65% jump from the opening weekend, officially making Dhurandhar the highest-grossing Hindi film ever in Weekend 2. Before this, only two films had crossed the ₹100 crore mark in their second weekend. Dhurandhar didn’t just cross that benchmark. It demolished it by a wide margin.
| Day | Collection (Rs) |
|---|---|
| Day 1 (Fri) | 28.60 crore |
| Day 2 (Sat) | 33.10 crore |
| Day 3 (Sun) | 44.80 crore |
| Day 4 (Mon) | 24.30 crore |
| Day 5 (Tue) | 28.60 crore |
| Day 6 (Wed) | 29.20 crore |
| Day 7 (Thu) | 29.40 crore |
| Day 8 (Fri) | 34.70 crore |
| Day 9 (Sat) | 53.70 crore |
| Day 10 (Sun) | 58.20 crore |
| Total | 364.60 crore |
With this, the total India nett collection now stands at ₹364.60 crore, and the film is racing towards the ₹400 crore milestone at breathtaking speed.
What Lies Ahead
With no major release slowing it down and audience demand still peaking, Dhurandhar is now eyeing the ₹400 crore mark, expected to be crossed early in Week 2. The pace at which the film is moving suggests that this run is far from over. At this point, the film isn’t competing with contemporaries. It’s competing with history.
Final Verdict
Dhurandhar didn’t just deliver a big second weekend. It delivered the biggest one Hindi cinema has ever seen. A 37.65% jump in Weekend 2. Record-breaking daily numbers. A total racing towards ₹400 crore. This isn’t hype. This is a hard, undeniable box office reality. Say it loud and clear. This is an all-time Blockbuster.
