It's been just 18 years since the term '100 crore club' was coined, and now a Hindi film has touched the ₹1000-crore mark domestically. Dhurandhar: The Revenge has crossed ₹1000 crore net in the Indian market on April 5, its 18th day in the theatres.

The Ranveer Singh-starrer earned ₹938 crore in India in its first two weeks. On its third Friday, the film saw a jump of over 20% to earn ₹21.55 crore domestically. On Saturday, it did even better, earning over ₹25.65 crore.

This took its net earnings to ₹985 crore after 17 days. The spy thriller then added ₹17 crore net (by 4 PM) to sail past the ₹1000 crore mark.

Dhurandhar 2 has out-earned two all-time blockbusters, Pathaan and Dangal, by a factor of 2 and 3, respectively. The film's success is splendid, but its collections are also aided by high ticket prices.

The film has an average ticket price of ₹360-380, the highest in Indian cinema history. Dhurandhar 2 has sold around 3.2 crore tickets in India since its release, one of the highest in recent times.
