While the "second Monday" typically sees a sharp decline for major blockbusters, Dhurandhar 2 has remained remarkably resilient, even with the IPL 2026 season in full swing.
The Day 12 & 13 "Tuesday Hold" 📈
Following a massive ₹68 crore second Sunday, the film entered the weekdays with steady momentum:
Day 12 (Monday): Collected ₹25.30 crore net in India despite the typical weekday dip.
Day 13 (Tuesday Live Tracking): Early estimates suggest the film has already added ₹9.46 crore by mid-day, pushing its cumulative India net to approximately ₹881.63 crore.
Worldwide Grand Total: With a robust overseas contribution of over ₹350 crore ($42M+), the total worldwide gross now stands at ₹1,401.50 crore.
The "North America" Conquest 🇺🇸
The film's most significant achievement this week occurred across the Atlantic.
The Record: On Sunday, Dhurandhar 2 officially surpassed the 9-year-old record of 'Baahubali 2: The Conclusion' ($22.7 million) to become the highest-grossing Indian film of all time in North America.
The "No Gulf" Factor: What makes this ₹1,400 crore haul truly "nuclear" is that it has been achieved without a release in the Gulf countries or Pakistan, territories that usually contribute 15-20% of a spy thriller's global revenue.
The All-Time Leaderboard: The Final Three 🏆
With RRR, KGF 2, and Jawan now firmly in its rearview mirror, Dhurandhar 2 is chasing the ultimate trio:
Rank Movie Worldwide Gross 1 Dangal ₹2,070 Crore 2 Baahubali 2 ₹1,810 Crore 3 Pushpa 2 ₹1,742 Crore 4 Dhurandhar 2 ₹1,401 Crore (Running)
The "Marathon" in Hong Kong 🇭🇰
The global craze has reached such heights that distributors in Hong Kong have started a unique "Dhurandhar Marathon" starting today.
The Experience: Fans are being treated to back-to-back screenings of Dhurandhar and Dhurandhar 2 with three planned breaks for snacks and "adrenaline recovery." It is reportedly the first time a Hindi film franchise has received such a specialized theatrical format in the region.
SantaBanta Verdict:
Aditya Dhar and Ranveer Singh have essentially rewritten the "Theory of Indian Cinema." By breaking the ₹1,400 crore barrier while defying the evening dips of the IPL season, Dhurandhar 2 has proven that a compelling, gritty narrative will always trump a cricket match. As it eyes the ₹900 crore India net milestone by tomorrow, the "Hamza" era is officially here to stay.
