Can Dhurandhar 2 The Revenge surpass the worldwide box office record of Aamir Khan’s Dangal without a China release? This question has sparked a heated debate online. While Dangal earned Rs 2,000 cr worldwide largely due to China, Dhurandhar 2 has been raking in huge numbers in India and other overseas markets. Fans and critics are divided, and social media is buzzing with bold predictions and scepticism about how far the film can go.
Dhurandhar 2 The Revenge Box Office
As of April 2, 2026, Dhurandhar 2 The Revenge has broken several box office records. In just 13 days, it became the highest-grossing Hindi film ever in India. According to Sacnilk, it surpassed its predecessor’s lifetime India net of Rs 840.20 cr, reaching over Rs 844 cr by its second Tuesday.
The film also set the record for the biggest opening day for a Bollywood movie, earning Rs 102.55 cr net (over Rs 123 cr gross) in India on Day 1. It became the first Hindi film to score Rs 100+ cr net in a single day twice. Globally, the movie crossed the Rs 1,000 cr gross mark in just seven days.
Regional and overseas markets have added to its strong run. It became the first Hindi film to cross Rs 100 cr in Karnataka and set a new record in Kerala with Rs 15+ cr gross in 12 days, beating Jawan. In Australia, it became the highest-grossing Indian film with A$6.37M+ in 11 days, surpassing Pathaan and Animal. Domestically, it recorded the biggest extended opening weekend for a Bollywood film with over Rs 515 cr gross worldwide from Friday to Sunday.
Because Dangal earned so much from China, its total is far ahead. That makes the challenge for Dhurandhar 2 even tougher.

Online Debate: Can Dhurandhar 2 Beat Dangal?
Fans have flooded Reddit, X and other social media platforms with opinions. One Reddit user recently wrote, “Dhurandhar 2 vs Dangal is actually very close than it seems.”
Read some user comments below:
“The overseas part is actually the tough part; India collection should stay strong finish at 1500, the overseas number seems tough.”
“Getting 1500 crores from India alone is very tough. It will end at 1300 crores.”
“Dhurandhar 2 has same trajectory as Pushpa 2 so it might get 1700–1800 crores WW.”
“I think it will overtake Pushpa 2 though, and maybe come near Baahubali 2. But that’s the maximum.”
“It will break Dangal’s farzi record by big margin. Burnol abhi se laga lo. You haters can’t stop it.”
“D2 already reached its maximum most of the collection in its first week itself so it has very little space to grow… So it is tracking to end at 1700–1800 WW.”
“Maximum 420 crores from overseas and 1300 crores from India. I expect a total 1720 crores possible. 2000 crores seems tough.”
What It Would Mean
In 2024, Baahubali 2: The Conclusion’s domestic record was broken by Pushpa 2: The Rule. If Dhurandhar 2 beats both these films and approaches Dangal, it would highlight strong domestic performance and audience engagement in India.
It would show that a Hindi film can achieve blockbuster status without depending on one huge international market. But reaching or surpassing Dangal’s worldwide total without China will require consistent performance across multiple regions in the coming weeks.
