Background
After surpassing the lifetime collections of Ranbir Kapoor's Animal and Rajkummar Rao-Shraddha Kapoor starrer Stree 2, the film is now closing in on Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan, which earned approximately Rs 1055 crore globally.
Meanwhile, Tu Mera Main Teri Main Tera Tu Meri, starring Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday, released on December 25 but has failed to challenge Dhurandhar at the box office.
Ranveer Singh's film earned Rs 26 crore on Thursday and followed it up with around Rs 15 crore on Friday. In comparison, Tu Mera Main Teri Main Tera Tu Meri collected Rs 7.75 crore on its opening day and, according to early estimates, about Rs 5 crore on Friday.
Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar features Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, Rakesh Bedi, Arjun Rampal, Akshaye Khanna and Sara Arjun in pivotal roles. The film is jointly produced by Jio Studios and Aditya Dhar's B62 Studios and released in theatres on December 5.
The makers have already announced Dhurandhar 2, which is scheduled for a theatrical release on March 19, 2026. Since its release, Dhurandhar has continued to dominate the box office, with other releases, including Kapil Sharma's Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2, failing to make an impact. The latter is now set to re-release in January.
