Dhurandhar has rewritten box office history by registering the highest second weekend collection ever, with the Ranveer Singh-led film raking in a staggering Rs. 146.60 crore over its second weekend. The achievement places the film at the very top of the all-time second weekend chart, firmly establishing it as one of the most powerful theatrical performers Indian cinema has witnessed in recent years.
By touching Rs. 146.60 crore in its second weekend, Dhurandhar has comfortably surged ahead of Pushpa 2: The Rule, which previously held a commanding position with Rs. 128 crore. The gap between the two underlines the extraordinary momentum Dhurandhar has maintained beyond its opening phase, a period where most films typically begin to taper off. In contrast, the Ranveer Singh starrer has shown rare growth, fuelled by robust word of mouth and repeat audiences.
The dominance becomes even clearer when viewed alongside other modern blockbusters. Stree 2 posted an impressive Rs. 93.85 crore in its second weekend, while Jawan followed with Rs. 88.66 crore. Films like Pathaan at Rs. 65.75 crore and KGF: Chapter 2 at Rs. 52.49 crore were once considered benchmarks for sustained weekend performance, yet now trail significantly behind Dhurandhar. Even ambitious spectacles such as Kalki 2898 AD with Rs. 49.25 crore and historical epics like Padmaavat at Rs. 46 crore fall well short of the new standard.
Further down the list, successful crowd-pullers such as Mission Mangal, Kantara: A Legend – Chapter 1, and Sultan rounded off the top tier with second weekend figures in the mid-30 crore range. Against this backdrop, Dhurandhar’s Rs. 148 crore second weekend appears all the more monumental.
For Ranveer Singh, the milestone reinforces his standing as a bankable star capable of delivering not just explosive openings, but sustained box office dominance. As Dhurandhar continues its theatrical run, the film’s record-breaking second weekend has already secured its place in the history books as a new benchmark for weekend performance.
