On Thursday, the film not only sustained its momentum but also expanded its reach in tier-2 and tier-3 cities. Dhurandhar 2 added ₹102 crore net domestic collections on Thursday, the biggest single-day haul by a Hindi film ever. This took its domestic collections to a staggering ₹145 crore net ( ₹174 crore gross) after just a single day.

Overseas, too, Dhurandhar 2 had a phenomenal start. In India, the film’s release was helped by the festive holidays for Ugadi and Gudi Padwa in many parts of the country. But despite the absence of this advantage overseas, the film still managed to earn almost $7 million internationally on the day. This has taken the spy thriller’s international haul to over $9 million. Dhurandhar 2 has earned ₹240 crore gross worldwide on its opening day, including ₹165 crore on the day alone.

Bollywood has clearly not been the benchmark for Dhurandhar 2’s massive start. The spy thriller has even beaten some of the biggest pan-India films of the last decade. Its opening has surpassed the day 1 global hauls of films like RRR ( ₹223 crore), Baahubali 2 ( ₹214 crore), Kalki 2898 AD ( ₹174 crore) and KGF Chapter 2 ( ₹159 crore).
