Starring Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, Rakesh Bedi, and R Madhavan, the action spectacle has emerged as the highest-grossing Hindi film in Weekend 2 of all time.

In box-office terms, Weekend 2 is a crucial indicator. Most films see a drop after Week 1 once the initial rush fades. Collections usually depend on loyal audiences and organic growth.
When a film grows in Weekend 2, it signals something special. It means the film has connected beyond curiosity. It means audiences are returning with friends and families. And it often indicates a long and historic run ahead. Dhurandhar has done exactly that. And in the process, it has entered an elite club.

Dhurandhar’s Weekend 2 Bigger Than Weekend 1
What makes Dhurandhar’s achievement truly historic is the comparison between its two weekends. Weekend 2 not only surpassed all-time records, but it also outperformed the film’s own opening weekend. This kind of upward trend is extremely rare in modern Hindi cinema. It places Dhurandhar in a league of its own. The film’s explosive second Saturday and Sunday were driven by packed theatres, mass belts firing, and repeat value kicking in across multiplexes and single screens alike.
