Unprecedented Second Weekend Performance
Dhurandhar The Revenge enjoyed a mind-blowing second weekend as Rs 165 crore* (Rs 1.65 billion) came in, which is again the highest ever for any film in history.
This shows that the day is not far away when films could achieve to score Rs 200 crore (Rs 2 billion) in their second weekend. There are huge records being scored by the Aditya Dhar film practically every day and that was seen over the weekend gone by as well.
Breaking Previous Records
In the process, Dhurandhar The Revenge has beaten the record for the biggest day in the second weekend held by Dhurandhar itself, which had netted Rs 58.20 crore (Rs 582 million) on its second Sunday.
Here, this number was crossed on the second Saturday itself.
Dhurandhar The Revenge currently stands at Rs 815 crore* (Rs 8.15 billion) in just the Hindi version, which means there are multiple other records that will be broken in the days to come.
Towards Becoming the Biggest Grosser
The lifetime collections of Allu Arjun's Pushpa 2 (Hindi) -- Rs 830 crore/ Rs 8.3 billion) -- will be history on Monday, March 30.
Secondly, Dhurandhar is the biggest Indian film ever in a single language with collections to the tune of Rs 896 crore (Rs 8.96 billion). That number will be surpassed this week, as the Ranveer Singh starrer will emerge as the biggest grosser ever.
