Dhurandhar 2 has opened to strong early momentum with positive paid premieres. Reports suggest the film may have crossed ₹40 crore even before its official release day.
The growing hype indicates a massive opening at the box office. Trade circles believe the film could set new benchmarks if the current trend continues.
Some analysts are already predicting a lifetime total close to ₹2000 crore. If achieved, Dhurandhar The Revenge could redefine box office standards in Indian cinema.
With such strong performance, Dhurandhar 2 has raised expectations for upcoming big budget films. Projects like Ramayana, Varanasi, and Spirit are now under added pressure.
The Ranbir Kapoor starrer Ramayana is expected to deliver strong numbers. Trade expectations suggest it may need around ₹1500 crore nett to match current blockbuster trends.
SS Rajamouli’s Varanasi is also being closely watched. Given his recent success, expectations are high, with projections going up to ₹1700 crore.
Meanwhile, Allu Arjun and Atlee’s AA22xA6 is already generating buzz. The film is expected to be a major box office contender in the coming years.
After the scale set by Dhurandhar 2, audience expectations have increased significantly. Upcoming films may face tougher comparisons in terms of collections and impact.
Only time will decide if these big films can match or surpass the benchmarks set by Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar franchise.
