Box Office Domination Continues
Ranveer Singh's 'Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge', directed by Aditya Dhar, continues its impressive box office run. The film has crossed the ₹550 crore mark in domestic nett earnings.
On Tuesday, March 24th, the film garnered a net collection of ₹56.55 crore across 20,412 shows in India.
the total domestic net earnings reached ₹575.67 crore, with gross earnings at ₹687.43 crore. The worldwide collection now stands at ₹919 crore, with ₹231.57 crore coming from international markets.

The spy actioner has surpassed 'Kantara: Chapter 1' (₹852.36 crore) and 'Stree 2' (₹857.15 crore) in global gross earnings. It is now recognized as one of Indian cinema's biggest hits.
