Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar 2 has soared to historic heights by becoming the fourth film ever to sell over 15 million tickets on BookMyShow, marking a first for a Bollywood release on the platform. This landmark achievement underscores the film’s pan-India appeal, driven by strong word-of-mouth, aggressive marketing, and Ranveer’s magnetic presence. Currently ranked fourth behind Pushpa 2, KGF 2, and Baahubali 2, Dhurandhar 2 has already surpassed its predecessor’s ticket sales and is eyeing to climb even higher in the all-time charts.
The film’s stellar box office journey is complemented by its rapid accumulation of ₹1450 Cr+ globally in just 17 days, with industry insiders tracking its bid to become the fastest ₹1500 Cr grosser in Indian cinema history, potentially achieving this milestone by day 18 or 19. This robust performance contrasts with the weekend releases of Sharwanand’s Biker and Sangeeth Sobhan’s Rakasa, which received a more tempered response. While Biker garnered praise for its lead performances and technical finesse, its box office traction remained modest, mainly shining in multiplexes. Rakasa, meanwhile, found favor in B and C centers, bolstered by effective promotions but impacted by IPL screenings that affected evening and night footfalls.
Dhurandhar 2 continues to dominate city multiplexes, particularly in Hyderabad, where it remains a top choice, reflecting strong audience enthusiasm. The mixed reactions to Biker and Rakasa highlight the competitive weekend landscape, yet both films have carved their niches across different audience segments. Fans and trade alike are now eagerly watching if Dhurandhar 2 can surpass Baahubali 2’s ₹1700 Cr mark, setting a new benchmark in Indian box office history. With advance bookings still robust, the coming weeks promise exciting developments for Dhurandhar 2 and continued audience engagement for the latest Telugu releases.
