Dhurandhar has set a new benchmark for the biggest second weekend of all time for a Hindi film, surpassing Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2 by a huge margin of Rs. 63.50 crore. The spy action drama collected Rs. 242 crore in its second week, with Rs. 22 crore coming in on the second Thursday. Interestingly, no other film could ever cross the Rs. 200 crore net mark in the second week. Pushpa 2 held this record for over a year, when it made Rs. 178 crore in Hindi, followed by Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava.
Dhurandhar also continued to cross the Rs. 20 crore mark for the 14th consecutive day, which is itself an all-time record. The movie will now face Avatar: Fire and Ash in the third week.
This marks the fifth instance since 2023 that the second-week box office record for a Bollywood film has been reset. In contrast, the first week’s record has remained unchanged since September 2023. This underlines an interesting shift in the business dynamic from the previous decade, when the first week records were a more common occurrence, while the second and later week records were rarely challenged. Think of 3 Idiots, whose second week record remained intact for four years, even as the first week record was reset five times during that span.
