Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar: The Revenge has reached a significant milestone, surpassing Pushpa 2: The Rule to become the third-highest-grossing Indian film ever with a worldwide gross of ₹1750 crore. This achievement has put Dhurandhar 2 in a strong position to challenge Baahubali: The Conclusion and Dangal for the top spot.

The film has earned ₹1111 crore net in India, the second-highest collection by an Indian film in the domestic market, and $46 million overseas. Its ₹1750-crore gross has enabled it to overtake Pushpa 2, which earned ₹1742 crore gross upon its release in 2024.

Dhurandhar 2 is expected to see a massive drop on Monday, but it should have enough momentum to catch up to Baahubali 2 in a couple of weeks. The release of Bhooth Bangla has affected Dhurandhar 2's earnings, but the absence of another tentpole film for the next few weeks should enable it to sustain its momentum.

However, Dhurandhar 2 may not be able to beat Dangal's all-time mark of ₹2070 crore, and may not even reach the ₹1800 crore mark. Part of the reason is that Dhurandhar 2 did not get a release in the Gulf, which hurt the film's collections by at least $12-15 million (₹110-140 crore).
