Dhurandhar built the map. Dhurandhar The Revenge has painted it red: How Part 2 turned every major circuit into a money machine

The box office numbers of Dhurandhar The Revenge are not merely bigger than Dhurandhar. They tell the story of a franchise that has gone from being a strong success to becoming a full-blown territorial monster.

In its first week, Dhurandhar The Revenge collected a staggering Rs. 612 crores across the listed territories, compared to Rs. 218 crores for Dhurandhar in Week 1. That is an increase of Rs. 394 crores. In other words, the sequel has delivered nearly 2.8 times the first film’s business in the same period. That is not routine sequel growth. That is domination.

The biggest headline comes from Mumbai. While Dhurandhar had earned Rs. 64 crores in Week 1 in the circuit, Dhurandhar The Revenge has exploded to Rs. 205 crores. That means the sequel’s Mumbai business alone is just Rs. 13 crores short of the first film’s entire all-India Week 1 total of Rs. 218 crores across all listed territories. That is the kind of statistic that immediately tells you this is no longer just a hit franchise; it is now a theatrical phenomenon.

Then comes Delhi UP, which has jumped from Rs. 45 crores to Rs. 128 crores, while East Punjab has surged from Rs. 23.50 crores to Rs. 73.44 crores. Put together, Mumbai + Delhi UP + East Punjab contributed Rs. 406.44 crores in Week 1 for the sequel. That is more than 66% of the film’s total business across these territories. The message is clear: the film has gone berserk in the highest-impact Hindi circuits, and that is where blockbusters become all-time blockbusters.

What is especially interesting is that East Punjab has grown by more than 3.1 times, almost matching Mumbai’s growth trajectory in relative terms. This suggests that the sequel hasn’t merely expanded because the franchise got bigger in the metros; it has hit a much deeper chord in the mass-heavy and high-energy circuits where repeat viewing, fan culture and heroic action tend to go into overdrive.

The mid-tier Hindi belts also tell a compelling story. Rajasthan has gone from Rs. 12.35 crores to Rs. 33.66 crores. CP has grown from Rs. 11.05 crores to Rs. 29.70 crores, and CI from Rs. 9.25 crores to Rs. 24.48 crores. These are not soft increases. These are sharp, decisive jumps, showing that the sequel has not remained over-dependent on just one or two major circuits. It has broadened the revenue base and deepened its hold across the core Hindi market.

If one combines Delhi UP, East Punjab, CP, CI, Rajasthan and Bihar-Jharkhand, the sequel has amassed Rs. 307.28 crores, compared to Rs. 108.65 crores for the first film. So the Hindi heartland alone has delivered nearly 2.83 times the first part’s number. That is where the real sequel story lies: the base was already there with Dhurandhar, but Dhurandhar The Revenge has converted that base into frenzy.

The southern circuits also show healthy growth, though not at the same volcanic level as the north. Nizam has gone from Rs. 15.25 crores to Rs. 27 crores, Mysore from Rs. 11.35 crores to Rs. 30.60 crores, and TNK from Rs. 2.50 crores to Rs. 5 crores. The numbers are strong, but they also reveal an interesting nuance: the sequel’s biggest leap is clearly coming from its Hindi belt consolidation rather than an unusually pan-India southern breakout. In fact, Nizam is among the least explosive jumps in percentage terms. That does not weaken the story; it strengthens it. It shows exactly where the film has become unstoppable.

The East has also chipped in handsomely. West Bengal has risen from Rs. 10 crores to Rs. 25 crores, Bihar-Jharkhand from Rs. 7.50 crores to Rs. 18 crores, Assam from Rs. 3 crores to Rs. 6.12 crores, and Orissa from Rs. 3.25 crores to Rs. 6 crores. Again, these are solid jumps, indicating that the sequel has widened the map and not merely intensified in legacy strongholds.

What, then, is the larger takeaway from these territorial figures? Simple: Dhurandhar was the film that created the franchise. Dhurandhar The Revenge is the film that has monetized the franchise at an extraordinary level. The first part built acceptance territory by territory. The second part has walked into those same territories with swagger, scale and audience trust already in place.

That is why these numbers feel so thunderous. This is not a case of one circuit overperforming and dragging the total up. This is a case of almost every key market levelling up, with some of them going absolutely ballistic. Mumbai is monstrous. Delhi UP is massive. East Punjab is roaring. Rajasthan, CP, CI and Mysore are all punching far above the first part. The franchise has not just grown; it has expanded in layers.

On the whole, the Week 1 territory split proves one thing beyond doubt: Dhurandhar was a success story, but Dhurandhar The Revenge is an empire story. The first film opened doors. The sequel has kicked them off the hinges.
