Aditya Dhar's spy thriller Dhurandhar: The Revenge continues its phenomenal box office run, smashing records since its release. The film has now climbed the charts to become the second-highest-grossing Bollywood film in India, further cementing its blockbuster status.
The film collected ₹43 crore in paid previews last Wednesday, followed by a mega opening of ₹102 crore. It went on to register two more ₹100+ crore days, followed by the biggest Monday in Indian cinema history.
The film's pace was finally slowed down after Tuesday, but it started strongly again on Thursday, aided by the Ram Navami holiday in various parts of the country. The film earned ₹49.70 crore net on the day, taking its domestic haul to an impressive ₹674.17 crore net in its first week.
Dhurandhar 2 breached the ₹600-crore mark on Wednesday, becoming only the fifth Bollywood film to do so. It outgrossed Vicky Kaushal's Chhaava (₹601 crore) at the domestic box office. On Thursday, it continued the solid run, eclipsing the lifetime haul of horror-comedy Stree 2 (₹627 crore) in the morning itself.
Now, only one Bollywood film stands ahead of Dhurandhar 2 in domestic earnings - the film's part 1 itself. Released in December, Dhurandhar set new industry benchmarks with its ₹895 crore haul in India.
