Dhurandhar The Revenge has achieved a remarkable feat by crossing the ₹1000-crore mark in just seven days. This spy thriller from Aditya Dhar has solidified its position as an all-time blockbuster, becoming the second-fastest Indian film to reach the mark after Allu Arjun's Pushpa 2.
The Ranveer Singh-starrer released in theatres on Thursday, following a record-breaking premiere on Wednesday. Paid previews and a manic opening weekend saw the film collect over ₹100 crore domestically in its first three days, helping it end the opening weekend with a worldwide haul of ₹750 crore, the second-highest in the history of Indian cinema.
On weekdays, the film maintained its momentum, avoiding huge drops on Monday and Tuesday. However, on Wednesday, the slowdown finally happened, with Dhurandhar 2 seeing a 16% drop, earning ₹47.70 crore net domestically, which took its India haul to ₹623 crore net (₹745 crore gross).
Overseas, the film has been an equally big phenomenon, with a strong $7-million start, raking in over $22 million in its first weekend internationally. The film saw a dip during the weekdays but still maintained some momentum, adding $1.5 million to its overseas collections from territories, bringing its total overseas collections after 7 days to $28.5 million (approximately ₹261 crore).
The spy thriller has now earned ₹1006 crore worldwide, crossing the $100 million mark on Wednesday morning, making it only the eighth Bollywood film to breach the mark worldwide.
Dhurandhar 2 has outpaced the collection rate of SS Rajamouli's Baahubali 2, which reached the milestone in nine days. The Prabhas and Rana Daggubati-starrer was the first Indian film to reach the mark. Dhurandhar 2 has also reached the 1000-crore club faster than other pan-India hits like RRR, KGF Chapter 2, Kalki 2898 AD, as well as Bollywood blockbusters Pathaan and Jawan.
