It has also emerged as the biggest film of Ranveer Singh's career to date. Find out the first-day box office collection of *Dhurandhar 2*—and whether *Ustaad Bhagat Singh* was able to hold its own against it.

Earned ₹50 Crore Even Before Release

Fans had been eagerly awaiting *Dhurandhar 2* for quite some time. This explains why tickets for its paid previews sold in massive numbers. According to Sacnilk, the film *Dhurandhar: The Revenge* garnered approximately ₹50 crore from its paid previews. Furthermore, it created a sensation with its first-day collection as well; everyone is astonished by the opening-day figures of *Dhurandhar 2*.

Has *Dhurandhar 2* Joined the ₹100 Crore Club?

In the history of Indian cinema, no film has ever achieved an opening-day collection as massive as that of *Dhurandhar 2*. According to Sacnilk, *Dhurandhar 2* earned ₹102.55 crore on its first day. Meanwhile, the film's net collection has reached ₹145.55 crore.

Surpassed the Collection of the First Installment

This film has even surpassed the opening-day collection of its predecessor. While the first film, *Dhurandhar*, collected ₹28 crore on its opening day, *Dhurandhar 2* has shattered the opening-day record set by its own previous installment. Additionally, it has surpassed the opening-day collections of major films such as *Jawan*, *Pathaan*, and *Pushpa 2*.

Did *Ustaad Bhagat Singh* Put Up a Fight?
*Dhurandhar 2* broke every earning record on its very first day. Released alongside this film was the South Indian actor Pawan Kalyan’s movie, *Ustaad Bhagat Singh*. However, it proved unable to compete with *Dhurandhar 2*. The South Indian film managed to earn only ₹31.50 crore on its opening day. *Dhurandhar 2* has evidently impacted the box office collections of *Ustaad Bhagat Singh*. This is largely because the Bollywood film was also released in various South Indian languages. The Tamil version of *Dhurandhar 2* grossed ₹1.16 crore on its first day across 958 shows, while the Telugu version earned ₹2.12 crore across 1,112 shows. Its performance in Malayalam and Kannada, however, was not particularly impressive.

What is the Story of *Dhurandhar 2*?

The narrative of *Dhurandhar 2* follows the espionage journey of Hamza—alias Jaskeerat Singh Rangi—as it unfolds amidst intense bloodshed and action. The film also reveals his ultimate objective to the audience. Furthermore, *Dhurandhar 2* finally lifts the veil on the mysterious character known as "Bade Saheb"—a revelation that is bound to leave many viewers stunned. In addition to Ranveer Singh, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, and Sara Arjun, the film features a host of other exceptional actors who have portrayed their respective roles with great finesse.
