Hindi cinema could witness a major box office milestone today. Dhurandhar 2 is expected to challenge existing Day 1 records with strong opening numbers.
So far, the highest opening for a Hindi film is held by Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan. The film recorded around ₹130 crore nett on its opening day.
Now, Dhurandhar 2 is set to break this record. The highly anticipated sequel released in theatres on March 19, with paid premieres held a day earlier.
Early reports suggest that paid premiere collections are around ₹35 crore. The numbers could have been higher, close to ₹50 crore, if not for last minute cancellations due to delayed content delivery.
Trade expectations indicate a massive opening day total. The film is likely to cross the ₹130 crore mark and set a new record for Hindi cinema.
This Ranveer Singh film is generating strong momentum across regions. If the trend continues, the record set today could stand for a long time.
The Telugu states and other South markets are also contributing well. The sequel factor appears to be boosting collections beyond the Hindi belt.
Mass circuits across North India are expected to deliver big numbers as well. This wide appeal is strengthening its record breaking potential.
While early trends are highly positive, final figures will be confirmed by the end of the day. All eyes are now on whether Dhurandhar 2 creates history.
