Dhurandhar 2 Box Office Day 1: Ranveer Singh Shatters Records with Colossal 145 Crore Opening
History hasn’t just been made; it has been completely rewritten. Dhurandhar 2 has officially delivered an unthinkable box office opening, shattering nearly every record in the history of Indian cinema. By surpassing the previous Hindi cinema record held by Jawan (75 crore), Ranveer Singh has officially dethroned the “King” to claim the biggest Bollywood opening of all time.
A New Era for Hindi Cinema
The early estimates for the spy thriller are nothing short of staggering. On its opening day, Thursday, March 19, 2026, Dhurandhar 2 brought in a domestic net of approximately 100–101 crore. When combined with the massive 44 crore earned from Wednesday’s paid previews, the total Day 1 collection stands in the range of 144–145 crore.
With this performance, Ranveer Singh has managed to leapfrog almost every major Indian blockbuster, securing the second-biggest opening in Indian cinema history, trailing only behind the record-breaking Pushpa 2.

The “Ranveer Singh wave” is officially here, and at this pace, Dhurandhar 2 is on track to become one of the highest-grossing films in the history of the medium.
