'Dhurandhar 2' Hits New Record; Crosses ₹100 Crore Landmark Within 24 Hours Of Hitting Theaters!

New Delhi: There was a time when earning ₹100 crore was the ultimate target for any film. Even today, it remains a major milestone for box office success. Even big-budget films feel a sense of relief and accomplishment after crossing this threshold. However, hardly anyone could have imagined that for a film, a net collection of ₹100 crore would become a matter of just 24 hours. 'Dhurandhar 2' has hit theaters, and records that were once thought unbreakable are now set to be shattered.

What landmark has 'Dhurandhar 2' Achieved?

The sheer frenzy surrounding 'Dhurandhar 2' was evident during the preview shows held on Wednesday. The audience embraced these previews with such enthusiasm that, from just two evening shows held in theaters, 'Dhurandhar 2' managed to rake in a net collection of ₹43 crore.

Since Thursday morning, 'Dhurandhar 2' has been on fire across ticket booking platforms. At one point during the day, the film even broke 'Pushpa 2's' record by selling over 100,000 tickets in a single hour. When the demand for tickets is this intense, it is not difficult to imagine just how rapidly the film's earnings meter is racing at the box office. Data from Sacnilk indicates that the latest reading on this meter stands at ₹65 crore.

Most of the preview shows for 'Dhurandhar 2' on Wednesday began at 4:30 PM or later in most locations. This means that 'Dhurandhar 2' has been in theaters for roughly just 24 hours, yet—combining the earnings from the previews with the first-day collections—its total net collection has already surpassed ₹108 crore.

Which are the earier films to hold this record?

Films such as 'Pushpa 2', 'Jawan', 'Pathaan', 'Animal', 'Stree 2', and 'KGF 2' previously held the record for being the fastest films to earn ₹100 crore. All of these films took two days to reach the ₹100-crore mark. However, 'Dhurandhar 2' has already crossed the ₹100 crore mark solely from its opening day and preview shows.

Until now, no Hindi film had ever surpassed the ₹80 crore mark when combining its first-day collections with preview shows. But with its preview earnings included, the opening collection of 'Dhurandhar 2' is poised to soar well beyond the ₹100 crore milestone. Given the immense craze surrounding Ranveer Singh's film, even major box office records are set to pale in comparison. Now, it remains to be seen just what kind of sensation this box office run of 'Dhurandhar 2' creates in the days to come!
