After becoming first Bollywood film to go past Rs 1000-crore mark, Dhurandhar eyes Dangal’s record

Director Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has entered uncharted territory at the Indian box office, becoming the first Bollywood film to cross the Rs 1000 crore net mark across all versions. The spy action thriller now stands alongside Pushpa 2 and Baahubali 2 as only the third Indian film to reach this landmark, a space reserved for the very biggest theatrical events.

What makes the run unusual is the consistency. No major holiday push, no festive spike driving numbers. Still, the film kept moving steadily. On day 18, it crossed Rs 1000 crore net. The Hindi version alone is already past Rs 900 crore, a record in itself. Moreover, the film did not release in China and Gulf countries, otherwise the numbers would have been much more than this.
