Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge (starring Ranveer Singh, directed by Aditya Dhar) had a historic opening day on Thursday, March 19, 2026, setting multiple all-time records in Hindi cinema history.
Key Day 1 Figures (India Net)
- Day 1 Net Collection: ₹102.55 crore (across 21,728 shows)
- This marks the highest single-day net collection in Bollywood history, surpassing previous benchmarks like Jawan (₹63–75 crore range on opening day) and others.
- Paid previews (March 18): ₹43 crore net
- Combined (previews + Day 1): ₹145.55 crore net (some trackers report ₹139–145 crore range due to early adjustments).
Gross & Worldwide Breakdown
- India Gross: ₹172.63 crore (Day 1 + previews)
- Overseas Gross: ₹64 crore (strong in US, Canada, UK, Australia—premiere advances alone ~$2.85 million / ₹26.5 crore)
- Worldwide Total (Day 1 + previews): ₹236.63 crore (some early estimates push it higher with final night shows).
Context & Comparison
- This is the first Hindi film to cross ₹100 crore net on a single day (excluding holidays/previews in some older records).
- Beats major openers like:
- Jawan (~₹75 crore Day 1)
- Pathaan (~₹57 crore)
- Animal (~₹64 crore)
- Stree 2 (~₹54 crore)
- Even Pushpa 2’s Hindi belt performance.
- Advance bookings were massive (₹33–62 crore range across sources), with 7–10 lakh+ tickets sold pre-release, leading to added shows and late-night screenings.
Nuances & Edge Cases
- Numbers are early estimates (Sacnilk, Box Office India, Koimoi, etc.)—final audited figures may adjust slightly (usually 5–10% upward or downward).
- Paid previews (₹43 crore) already beat the original Dhurandhar’s full Day 1 (~₹28–33 crore).
- Overseas dominance (US/Canada/UK/Australia) contributed significantly, making it one of the biggest Indian openers globally on Day 1.
- If final numbers hold above ₹100 crore net, it rewrites Bollywood history as the biggest non-holiday single-day opener.
The film is off to an explosive start—massive advance + strong word-of-mouth could push Week 1 toward ₹500 crore+ worldwide.
