The opening weekend numbers for movies released on May 1 show Raja Shivaji leading the domestic market with a 33.90 crore net collection. While the Marathi biopic found strong footing in India, Patriot focused its success overseas, grossing 38.50 crore internationally despite a downward trend in domestic shows. Along with The Devil Wears Prada 2, which held steady in premium multiplexes, the weekend data highlights a concentrated audience interest in big-ticket regional and international content over smaller releases like Ek Din and Jetlee.

With an India net of 33.90 crore, it benefited from massive show counts and strong regional loyalty. Looking at the BookMyShow data, the film sold nearly 1 million tickets in its opening weekend, with a total of 998,290 bookings. The national multiplex chains (PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis) played a significant role, contributing 222,406 tickets across the three days. Interestingly, Sunday saw a strong recovery in these chains with 82,028 tickets sold, surpassing the opening Friday numbers of 81,866, indicating healthy word-of-mouth in urban centers. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) In contrast, the Malayalam release Patriot tells a story of two different markets. In India, the film started with a promising 10 crore on Friday but struggled to sustain that momentum, dropping to 5.50 crore by Sunday. This 10.6 percent dip from Saturday suggests that the initial buzz was driven by fan excitement rather than general audience growth. However, its overseas performance is where the film truly shines. It grossed 38.50 crore internationally in just three days, which is significantly higher than its total India gross of 25.11 crore. In North America specifically, it delivered a total weekend gross of 334 thousand dollars, making it the third-biggest opening for a Malayalam film in that region. The Hollywood entrant, The Devil Wears Prada 2, maintained a very steady profile throughout the weekend. After an opening day net of 3.80 crore (including pre-sales bringing the first day total to 5.50 crore), it saw a 5.3 percent growth on Saturday with 4.00 crore. While Sunday saw a minor 3.7 percent dip to 3.85 crore, the film's national chain presence remained robust. It sold over 150,000 tickets across PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis over the three days, proving that urban multiplex audiences were consistently interested. On BookMyShow alone, it trended with over 36,180 tickets booked in a single 24-hour period on Sunday. Ek Din followed a volatile path during its opening weekend, struggling to find a consistent audience despite a late-weekend surge. The film opened on Friday with a net collection of 1.15 crore across 1,961 shows, supported by 9,559 ticket sales in national chains like PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis. Saturday saw a 13 percent drop as collections dipped to 1.00 crore, while ticket sales in these premium chains fell significantly to 6,339. However, the film managed a notable recovery on Sunday, netting 1.70 crore across 1,490 shows with a recorded occupancy of 14.4 percent. While the Sunday performance provided a much-needed bounce-back, the national chain ticket sales only rose slightly to 7,240, indicating that the bulk of the Sunday growth came from single screens or non-national multiplexes. With a total India net collection of 3.85 crore and a modest overseas gross of 0.25 crore, the film's worldwide gross stands at 3.65 crore, suggesting it may struggle to maintain its screen count in the coming week. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Jetlee faced a challenging opening weekend, beginning its run with a net collection of 1.10 crore on Friday. Despite operating across 893 shows, the film struggled to build momentum in the premium national chains, selling only 4,151 tickets on the first day. This downward trend intensified on Saturday, where collections dropped by 27.3 percent to reach 0.80 crore. By Sunday, the film saw another significant decline of 31.3 percent, netting just 0.55 crore. Interestingly, while digital platforms recorded a surge of over 58,000 tickets for Sunday, the actual theatrical turnout in national chains was at its lowest, with only 1,599 tickets sold across PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis. This disconnect between digital bookings and ground-level footfalls resulted in a domestic weekend total of 2.45 crore net. When combined with an overseas gross of 0.85 crore, Jetlee ends its first three days with a worldwide gross collection of 3.69 crore, a figure that places it at the bottom of the weekend major releases. National Chain Ticket Sales : Raja Shivaji: 222,406 Total Tickets | Friday: 81,866 | Saturday: 58,512 | Sunday: 82,028 The Devil Wears Prada 2: 154,878 Total Tickets | Friday: 49,328 | Saturday: 53,127 | Sunday: 52,423 Patriot: 126,107 Total Tickets | Friday: 54,814 | Saturday: 38,980 | Sunday: 32,313 Ek Din: 23,138 Total Tickets | Friday: 9,559 | Saturday: 6,339 | Sunday: 7,240 Jetlee: 7,907 Total Tickets | Friday: 4,151 | Saturday: 2,157 | Sunday: 1,599 Raja Shivaji has undeniably stolen the show domestically... Overall, Raja Shivaji is setting new benchmarks for Marathi cinema, while Patriot highlights the growing power of the Malayalam diaspora in global box office tallies. The Devil Wears Prada 2 remains a reliable option for urban viewers, but for Ek Din and Jetlee, the road ahead looks difficult as show counts are likely to be redistributed to the better-performing regional titles in the coming week.

Bhooth Bangla has wrapped up its third weekend on a positive note, showing that the horror-comedy genre continues to be a favorite among Indian cinema-goers. After 17 days of its theatrical run, the film has reached a total India net collection of 142.50 crore. What is interesting to note is how the film has managed to stay relevant even in its third week, maintaining a steady pace against competing titles. By the end of the third weekend, the worldwide gross collection has officially pushed past the 225 crore mark, standing at 225.52 crore. Looking at the day-wise breakdown, the third Friday or day 15 started the weekend with a strong 28.6 percent growth from the previous day. It collected 4.50 crore net across 4,807 shows. This performance placed the film at the 24th position for the highest day 15 collections within its genre. To give you some context, Stree 2 currently holds the 7th position for the same timeline. It is quite a feat for Bhooth Bangla to remain in the top 50 list for this specific genre, showing its consistent appeal. On day 16, which was the third Saturday, the film saw a marginal dip of 3.3 percent with a collection of 4.35 crore. While the numbers cooled slightly, the film still maintained its 44th position in the all-time day 16 rankings for this genre. In the international markets, the film earned 1.50 crore on Saturday. Specifically in North America, as per data from Venky BoxOffice, the film grossed 45 thousand dollars on Saturday, bringing its total in that region to 2.14 million dollars. This follows a Friday gross of 27 thousand dollars where the total stood at 2.09 million dollars. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Sunday brought back the momentum as expected, with day 17 collections reaching 5.50 crore net. This represents a healthy 26.4 percent growth compared to Saturday. The film operated across 4,249 shows on Sunday and secured the 43rd spot for the highest day 17 collections in the horror-comedy category. It is worth noting that both Bhooth Bangla and Stree 2 have managed to stay within the top 50 rankings for all three days of this weekend, emphasizing the sustained interest in these types of films.

On the BookMyShow platform, the third weekend alone saw approximately 260 thousand tickets sold. To be precise, Friday recorded 89.07 thousand tickets, Saturday saw 84.33 thousand, and Sunday ended with 86.15 thousand. Since its release, the total tickets booked on the platform have reached a massive 26,94,890. This includes the pre-sales of 169.87 thousand, 1.45 million in the first week, and 811 thousand in the second week. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) When we look at the performance in national chains like PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis, the numbers show a clear upward trend over the weekend. On Friday, these chains sold 19,120 tickets for a gross of 60.25 lakh. Saturday stayed nearly flat with 17,800 tickets and 60.00 lakh gross. However, Sunday saw a significant jump in premium chain sales with 25,250 tickets sold, resulting in a gross of 83.18 lakh. This data-centric view confirms that the urban audience in major cities continues to support the film well into its third week. Day 15 Overseas Collection: ₹1.25 Cr Day 16 Overseas Collection: ₹1.50 Cr Day 17 Overseas Collection: ₹1.25 Cr Overall, with a total India gross of 169.27 crore and an overseas gross of 56.25 crore, Bhooth Bangla has established itself as a commercial success. The smooth flow of collections over the 15th, 16th, and 17th days suggests that the film has enough legs to continue its run for another week before it begins to wind down. For a film in this genre to hold top 50 positions across its third weekend is a strong indicator of its popularity and the effective word-of-mouth it has enjoyed since its opening day.

Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge continues its remarkable run at the box office, demonstrating incredible staying power as it wrapped up its seventh weekend. The film has maintained a steady stream of collections, proving that audience interest remains high even after 47 days in theaters. Let's break down the numbers from its seventh weekend to see how it performed. The weekend kicked off on its 44th day (7th Friday) with a collection of ₹1.05 Cr. This marked a minor and expected drop of 8.7% from the previous day's collection of ₹1.15 Cr. For a film this deep into its theatrical run, a collection over the one crore mark on a weekday is a significant achievement. As is typical, Saturday saw a healthy jump. On its 45th day, the film collected ₹1.15 Cr, representing a 9.5% growth from Friday. This uptick indicated that the family and weekend audiences were still turning up. The film's overseas performance on Day 45 also contributed, adding ₹0.35 Cr to its international tally. The momentum continued into Sunday, its 46th day. The film saw another positive surge, collecting ₹1.25 Cr. This represents an 8.7% growth from Saturday's figures, capping off a successful weekend. The total collection for the 7th weekend stands at an impressive ₹3.45 Cr. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) After 47 days of its theatrical run, the numbers for Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge are nothing short of monumental. The total India net collection has reached a massive ₹1,138.54 Cr, with the India gross standing at ₹1,362.61 Cr. When combined with its impressive overseas gross of ₹425.75 Cr, the film's total worldwide gross collection has been pushed to a phenomenal ₹1,788.36 Cr. This cumulative figure marks a historic milestone for Indian cinema. By reaching this total, Dhurandhar 2 has now officially surpassed the lifetime worldwide gross of the epic Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, which ended its run at ₹1,788.06 Cr. With this achievement, the film has climbed to become the second-highest-grossing Indian movie of all time globally, trailing only behind Dangal.

The film sold a combined total of 31,350 tickets, generating over ₹1.10 Cr in gross collections from these chains alone. The day-over-day growth in both ticket sales and gross earnings highlights the film's strong word-of-mouth and repeat value. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Ticket sales on the popular booking platform, BookMyShow, also provide insight into audience behavior. The platform sold approximately 72,000 tickets for the film over the weekend. The daily breakdown was 27.09K on Friday, 24.08K on Saturday, and 21.22K on Sunday. While pre-booking sales slightly decreased through the weekend, the overall box office numbers grew, suggesting a strong walk-in audience, especially on Sunday. In the key overseas market of North America, Dhurandhar 2 continued to add to its total. It grossed $16K on Friday, taking its total in the region to $28.50M. This was followed by a stronger performance on Saturday, with a gross of $31K, pushing the North American total to $28.53M. Overall, the seventh-weekend performance of Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge solidifies its position as an all-time blockbuster. The consistent collections, weekend growth, and continued audience engagement are testaments to the film's widespread appeal as it inches closer to the ₹1800 Cr mark worldwide.

So, what's the story with Patriot's opening weekend? The final numbers paint a picture of two very different battlegrounds: a struggling domestic run that saw interest wane day by day, contrasted by a blockbuster performance in overseas markets that ultimately powered the film's global total. Let's break down what happened in India first. The film's journey began with a bang but quickly lost steam. It kicked off with a strong ₹10.00 crore net on Friday, backed by a very healthy 66.0% occupancy rate. However, that momentum didn't carry through the weekend. Saturday's collections dropped to ₹6.15 crore, and the real test was Sunday, where the film saw its collections dip further to ₹5.50 crore, a notable 10.6% drop from the previous day. This Sunday figure also places it at the 12th spot for a Mollywood film's first Sunday, which is respectable but not in the top tier. This downward trend wasn't just in the overall numbers; it was clearly visible in key audience metrics. Take the national multiplex chains of PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis, for instance. After selling nearly 55,000 tickets on Friday, sales plummeted to just over 32,000 by Sunday. Consequently, occupancy in these premium theaters cratered from a promising 47.81% on day one to a tepid 24.22% on day three. We see the exact same story reflected in BookMyShow sales, where after strong pre-sales, new ticket bookings dropped significantly from 251K on Friday to just 96K on Sunday. It's clear the initial buzz didn't translate into sustained walk-ins over the weekend. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) While the weekend trend was downwards, the overall first-weekend India net collection of nearly ₹22 crore is a significant figure. This performance places Patriot firmly in the top 3 biggest opening weekends for Mollywood this year, highlighting that despite the drops, its opening day was strong enough to secure a high rank. L2: Empuraan - ₹35 Cr Thudarum - ₹24 Cr Patriot - ₹22 Cr Vaazha 2: Biopic of a Billion Bros - ₹21 Cr Aadu 3 - ₹21 Cr But while the domestic box office was cooling, the international circuits were on fire. The film pulled in a massive ₹38.50 crore gross from overseas markets in just three days, a figure that surprisingly eclipses its total India gross of ₹25.11 crore for the weekend. This overseas performance was the film's saving grace. Despite relatively underwhelming promotions, the film still delivered a strong overseas opening purely on the strength of star power, as both Mollywood heroes drew significant attention and turnout from the diaspora audience. Patriot Day-Wise Overseas Gross Collection DAY OVERSEAS GROSS Day 1 (Friday) ₹16.50 Cr Day 2 (Saturday) ₹13.00 Cr Day 3 (Sunday) ₹9.00 Cr Total ₹38.50 Cr (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The North American market was a standout performer, delivering a combined premiere and Day 1 gross of $177K. To put that in perspective, this is the third-biggest opening day for a Malayalam film in the region, a remarkable achievement. The total for the weekend from North America alone reached $334K. So, when you combine the modest ₹21.65 crore net from India with the stellar overseas run, you get the final picture: Patriot's opening weekend worldwide gross stands at ₹63.61 crore. In terms of audience engagement, its total of 805,000 tickets sold on BookMyShow places it alongside another major release this year, but it's not quite in the same league as the top-tier blockbusters. 1. Empuraan - 2.71M 2. Thudarum - 1.31M 3. Vaazha 2 - 1.28M 4. Aadu 3 - 1.16M 5. Lokah - 1.08M 6. Guruvayoor Ambalanadayil / Patriot - 805K Ultimately, Patriot's weekend is a story of international triumph compensating for domestic underperformance. Its journey from here, especially during the crucial weekdays in India, will be critical to watch. The film's global performance also marks a significant industry milestone. Patriot crossed the ₹50 crore worldwide gross mark in just three days, placing it among the fastest Mollywood films to ever achieve this feat. For context, here is how it compares to the top films in this category: 1. L2: Empuraan - Day 1 2. Thudarum - Day 3 3. Patriot - Day 3 4. Aadujeevitham - The Goat Life - Day 4 5. Lokah: Chapter 1 - Day 4 Securing the third spot on this list, alongside Thudarum, is a notable achievement. It directly underscores the power of the film's overseas opening, which was strong enough to propel it into the top ranks of worldwide openers despite a softer domestic trend. This solidifies Patriot's position as a major global success for the industry, driven primarily by its international appeal.

Mumbai, May 3 - Director Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has created history at the global box office, emerging as the second-highest-grossing Indian film behind only Aamir Khan's Dangal, and beating SS Rajamouli's Baahubali 2: The Conclusion. The film is produced by Jyoti Deshpande of Jio Studios and Aditya Dhar and Lokesh Dhar of B62 Studios. The spy-action spectacle starring Ranveer Singh has been on a record-breaking run since its release in March 2026. As per the latest box office numbers, the film has crossed 1,788 crore globally and is inching toward the ₹1,790 crore mark, putting it right alongside Baahubali 2's lifetime total of around 1,788 crore in 46 days. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) A Record-Breaking Run What makes this achievement even more remarkable is the consistency shown by Dhurandhar 2 throughout its theatrical run. The film opened to massive numbers and continued to draw strong footfalls in the weeks that followed, displaying exceptional hold despite competition from new releases. Dhurandhar 2's overseas performance has been equally historic, contributing significantly to its record-breaking worldwide total. In India, the film has grossed over 1362 crores, while its international collection is an estimated 426 crores.

As has been the case, China is not a regular market for the film; hence, it is not considered a suitable comparison with other films. For years, Baahubali 2, starring Prabhas, was considered an almost untouchable benchmark in Indian cinema. Its global dominance symbolised the scale and reach of Indian films. However, Dhurandhar 2 has now managed to edge past that milestone, signalling a new era for Bollywood at the worldwide box office. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) What Makes This Achievement Huge - Baahubali 2 held the No.2 position globally for nearly a decade. - Dhurandhar 2 achieved this without China and the Gulf release, unlike Dangal. - The film has shown exceptional longevity, sustaining collections deep into its theatrical run. - No release in the Gulf makes it the greatest overseas performance for an Indian film. An Irreplaceable Global Phenomenon Just like the greatest Indian blockbusters, Dhurandhar 2 will be remembered for its path-breaking success. While other films needed support from key international markets like the Gulf and China, Dhurandhar 2 achieved this feat without these two big boosters, making it an irreplaceable global phenomenon in Indian cinema, and its adult rating further speaks to its popularity among audiences.

Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge is now moving at a slower pace than usual as it continues its extended run at the box office. On its 44th day, the film collected a net of 1.05 crore in India. This is a minor 8.7 percent drop from the 1.15 crore it earned on the previous day, showing that even in its seventh week, there is still some residual interest among the audience despite the massive volume of new releases. A major factor impacting the numbers now is the significant reduction in screen space. For the first time in its run, the show count for Dhurandhar 2 has slipped below the 1,000 mark, with only 851 shows recorded on Friday. This crunch is driven by a massive influx of new releases like Raja Shivaji, Patriot, and KD The Devil 2. Additionally, existing holdovers like Bhooth Bangla and Michael are also competing for the same multiplex slots. By today, which is day 45, the situation is even tighter with show counts expected to drop below 500, a logical progression given the crowded market landscape. Despite the shrinking footprint, the film has reached some massive milestones in specific territories. It is currently inching closer to the 100 crore gross mark in the Telugu states, currently sitting at 99.50 crore. Its performance in Karnataka has been even more dominant, with the film grossing 150 crore in the state. Total India gross collections have reached a massive 1,359.83 crore, cementing its status as one of the biggest earners in history. Perhaps the most interesting data point is the performance in South India, where the total gross has now crossed 297 crore. This leaves the film just 3 crore away from the 300 crore milestone, a record that no other non-south movie has ever achieved in Indian cinema history. However, with show counts dropping so rapidly and the intense pressure from new releases, reaching that final 3 crore target now appears nearly impossible. Given the current market trajectory and the massive reduction in screen space, it seems the film will fall just short of securing this specific piece of box office history. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Take a look at the language-wise net collection breakdown across India: Hindi: ₹ 1,068.04 Cr Telugu: ₹ 42.89 Cr Tamil: ₹ 19.63 Cr Kannada: ₹ 3.81 Cr Malayalam: ₹ 1.77 Cr In the national multiplex chains, the seventh-week performance remains quite steady given the circumstances. On its 44th day, Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge managed to gross around 26 lakh from about 7,900 tickets sold across PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis. PVR led the chains with a gross of 15 lakh from 4,418 tickets, while INOX and Cinepolis contributed approximately 8 lakh and 3 lakh respectively. With an occupancy rate of 13 percent across 400 shows in these chains, the movie is still finding a niche audience even as the focus of major theaters shifts toward newer tentpole releases. On the digital front, BookMyShow recorded 27.09K ticket sales for this seventh Friday. The international market added another 0.25 crore on day 44, bringing the total overseas gross to 425.40 crore. When you combine the domestic and international figures, the worldwide total gross stands at 1,785.23 crore. It is a massive total for any Indian film, especially considering how the Hindi version alone accounts for over 1,068 crore of the total net collection.

Bhooth Bangla has shown a positive trend as it enters its third week at the box office. On day 15, which was its third Friday, the film collected a net of 4.50 crore. This represents a solid 28.6 percent growth compared to the 3.50 crore it earned on Thursday. This kind of upward movement on a Friday suggests that the film still has enough legs to draw in the weekend crowd even after two weeks in theaters. What makes these numbers even more impressive is the current state of the box office. With the major release of films like Raja Shivaji, Patriot, and The Devil Wears Prada 2 yesterday, the competition for screen space has become intense. This crowded market led to a sharp reduction in shows for Bhooth Bangla, which dropped from roughly 8,000 shows on Thursday to 4,807 shows on Friday.Managing a 28.6 percent growth while operating on nearly half the number of shows is a strong indicator of the film's resilience. It suggests that while total capacity decreased, the occupancy per show spiked as audiences continued to favor this two-week-old release despite the arrival other competitions. The total India net collection has now reached 132.65 crore. When you consider the reported budget of 120 crore, the film has officially moved past the recovery stage and is now comfortably in the profit zone. The total India gross collection stands at 157.55 crore so far, reflecting a very healthy run in the domestic market across its 4,807 shows on day 15. It is interesting to see where the film stands in historical terms. With its day 15 performance, Bhooth Bangla has secured the 18th spot on the list of highest third-Friday collections for Hindi movies. By achieving this, it has surpassed the third-Friday numbers of major blockbusters like Kalki 2898 AD, Bajrangi Bhaijaan, and URI: The Surgical Strike. This ranking is a clear indicator of the film's consistent box office holding power. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Ticket sales on BookMyShow continue to stay active, with 89,070 tickets sold on the third Friday alone. This brings the total tickets sold on the platform to a massive 25.24 lakh. In the national multiplex chains, the movie saw steady footfalls, selling approximately 19,100 tickets and grossing about 60 lakh on day 15. While these are not opening-day levels, they are very respectable figures for a third-week run. The overseas performance has also been a key part of the film's success story. On day 15, it added 1.25 crore from international markets, taking the total overseas gross to 49 crore. The Gulf region has emerged as a standout territory, with the UAE alone contributing 1.07 million dollars (roughly 9 crore) over the 15 days. Given that the UAE usually drives the bulk of the region’s business, the total GCC contribution is trending in the $1.5 million to $1.7 million range. This performance has played a major role in pushing the worldwide gross past the 206.55 crore mark. Looking at the trajectory, we can expect a significant jump over the rest of the third weekend. Saturday and Sunday are likely to see even better occupancy, which could potentially push the third-weekend net total toward the 16 to 18 crore range. If this trend continues, Bhooth Bangla is well on its way to finishing its third weekend with a net total near 140-145 crore, further increasing its profitability for the makers.

Mumbai, May 1 - The much-awaited sequel The Devil Wears Prada 2 has kicked off its India run on a promising note, delivering solid numbers from paid previews and signalling strong urban traction. According to estimates, the film has collected around 1.90-2 crore gross from paid previews across India. This puts it right on par with Michael, which had clocked around 2 crore gross in paid previews last week. The collections are heavily driven by metro cities like Mumbai, Delhi-NCR, and Bengaluru, with premium chains such as PVR INOX contributing a significant chunk of the business. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) This trend highlights the film's appeal among urban audiences, typical for a stylish, dialogue-heavy comedy-drama rather than a mass-market spectacle. With positive momentum from previews, the film is now eyeing an opening day of 7-8 crore (including previews) in India. Hollywood films have been enjoying a good run in India in 2026, and The Devil Wears Prada 2 is well-positioned to continue that streak. The nostalgic value of the 2006 original, combined with the returning star cast led by Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Emily Blunt, is clearly working in its favour. If the film shows good growth over the weekend and maintains steady weekday holds, it could comfortably join the list of successful Hollywood releases in India this year.

Dhurandhar 2 has officially proven that it is not just a massive opener but a genuine marathon runner at the box office. While most big-budget films struggle to stay relevant after the third week, this sequel has managed to hold its ground even in its sixth week. The film wrapped up the week with a collection of approximately 12.40 crore, which is a testament to its incredible leg-room. If you look at the language breakdown, the Hindi version continues to do the heavy lifting, contributing nearly 11.80 crore of the total, while the South Indian markets added about 60 lakh collectively. One of the most impressive aspects of this journey has been the digital footfall on BookMyShow. The film has reached a staggering milestone of 1.81 crore total tickets booked on the platform since its release. This momentum started with 2.41 million tickets in pre-sales and a massive 8.92 million in its first extended week. The footfall remained high with 3.62 million in the second week and 1.58 million in the third, followed by nearly 1.3 million tickets combined across weeks four and five. Even in its sixth week, the film added another 259,000 tickets to its tally.

On Friday, it sold around 7,700 tickets, which nearly tripled on Saturday to 21,700 tickets. The momentum peaked on Sunday with over 27,000 tickets sold in these major chains alone. Even on the weekdays, the film showed surprising resilience, particularly on Tuesday where it saw a spike back up to nearly 20,000 tickets. By the end of its sixth week, Dhurandhar 2 sold a total of approximately 96,000 tickets across the top national chains. This kind of consistency at such a late stage in its theatrical run is what separates a regular hit from an all-time blockbuster. To put these numbers into perspective, we have to look at where Dhurandhar 2 stands in the history of Indian cinema. By collecting 12.40 crore in its sixth week, it has officially entered the top five list of highest-ever week six collections. It has managed to edge past the likes of Uri: The Surgical Strike, while trailing behind only a few legendary performers like its predecessor and the other releases Stree 2 and Chhaava.

It currently sits just about 5 crore away from the lifetime worldwide collection of Baahubali 2, which stands at 1,788.06 crore. Given its steady week six hold and a net collection of 1,135.04 crore across over 5 lakh shows, the film is now almost certain to surpass that legendary figure by the end of its seventh weekend.
