"The 1,700 Crore Storm": 'Dhurandhar 2' Scripts History as the Biggest Original Hindi Blockbuster!
The "Dhurandhar" hurricane has achieved the unthinkable. As of today, Monday, April 13, Aditya Dhar’s spy epic 'Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge' has officially become the first-ever original Hindi film to breach the ₹1,700 crore mark worldwide in its initial theatrical run.

Despite entering its fourth week, the film witnessed a massive surge over its 25th weekend, proving that Ranveer Singh’s "Jai Singh Rathod" has a grip on the audience that transcends traditional box office fatigue.

The Historic Milestone: Day 25 Report


The film reached the magical milestone following a powerhouse performance on Sunday, April 12 (Day 25):

Day 25 (Sunday) Collection: ₹14.75 crore (Net India).
Weekend Growth: The film showed an incredible 98% jump from its fourth Friday (₹7 crore) to its fourth Sunday, signaling strong family-audience turnout.
The Global Tally: With a steady overseas contribution of ₹4 crore on Sunday, the grand worldwide total has reached an estimated ₹1,712.98 crore.

Breaking the "China & Gulf" Myth


What makes this ₹1,700 crore feat unprecedented in Indian cinema history is the way it was achieved:

No Gulf Release: The film has achieved these numbers despite being banned or unreleased in the lucrative Gulf markets.
No China Phase: Unlike Dangal, which reached its peak through a secondary release in China, Dhurandhar 2 has hit this mark purely in its primary Phase 1 window across India, North America, UK, and Australia.
Single Language Dominance: It is the only film in history to earn over ₹1,000 crore net from a single language (Hindi) alone.
