The box office storm created by Aditya Dhar’s ‘Dhurandhar’ has rewritten the history books for Bollywood. As the film continues to smash records, the industry is already buzzing about its sequel, ‘Dhurandhar 2’. However, an intriguing analysis by Koimoi suggests that while the sequel might hit the magical ₹1000 crore mark, Ranveer Singh may still have a hurdle to cross to become the ultimate post-pandemic superstar.
The Phenomenal Success of Dhurandhar
Dhurandhar has not only dominated the Indian screens but has also made a massive impact globally. According to Koimoi, the film has achieved several historic milestones:
- The 1000 Crore Club: It has become the 9th Indian film to cross the ₹1000 crore mark worldwide.
- Domestic Dominance: In India alone, the film has raked in approximately ₹668.8 Crore (Net).
- Global Gross: The total worldwide gross has soared past the ₹1350 Crore mark.
Dhurandhar 2: The ₹1000 Crore Challenge
The expectations for the sequel are sky-high. Koimoi’s report indicates that if Dhurandhar 2 receives the same level of critical and commercial acclaim, it has the potential to earn ₹1000 crore from the Indian market alone.
| Film | Status | Actual/Projected Collection (Worldwide) |
| Dhurandhar (Part 1) | All-Time Blockbuster | ₹1352.88 Crore+ |
| Dhurandhar 2 | In Development | ₹1000 Crore – ₹1500 Crore (Estimated) |
Ranveer Singh vs. Post-Pandemic Titans
The report highlights a fascinating comparison. Despite the mega-success of Dhurandhar, Ranveer Singh faces a tough battle to dethrone Shah Rukh Khan as the king of the post-pandemic era.
- Success Ratio: Shah Rukh Khan maintains a stellar 100% success ratio with hits like Pathaan, Jawan, and Dunki. In contrast, Ranveer’s post-pandemic journey (with films like 83, Jayeshbhai Jordaar, and Cirkus) has seen more fluctuations.
- Cumulative Collection: Thanks to Dhurandhar, Ranveer’s post-pandemic total has surged past ₹1134.5 Crore, overtaking Ranbir Kapoor. However, to surpass SRK’s total dominance, Dhurandhar 2 will need to deliver an unprecedented, record-shattering performance.
Will Dhurandhar Become India’s No. 1 Franchise?
According to Koimoi, the Dhurandhar franchise is currently breathing down the neck of the ‘Baahubali’ series. The Baahubali franchise holds a total collection of ₹2450 Crore. To become the #1 Indian movie franchise, Dhurandhar 2 needs to earn roughly ₹1090 Crore—a feat that seems entirely possible given the current craze.
Final Verdict:
There is no doubt that the duo of Aditya Dhar and Ranveer Singh has birthed a new action-thriller monster. Whether Dhurandhar 2 can shift the industry’s power dynamics and crown Ranveer Singh as the undisputed No. 1 remains the biggest question in Bollywood.
