Ranveer Singh and Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar: The Revenge is having a dominant run at the box office, even five weeks after its release.
The makers of the two-part spy thriller franchise Dhurandhar have announced that the film has earned Rs 1783 globally. The announcement was accompanied by a breakdown of the collection. Accordingly, in India, the film has grossed Rs 1,360 crores and Rs 423 crores overseas.
In the week-wise break-up of the film's Indian collection, Week 1 collection stands at Rs 690 crores, Week 2 at Rs 271 crores, Week 3 at Rs 120 crores, and Week 4 at Rs 58 crores.
The second film, which was released a few months after the first, has its focus on how Hamza takes over the underworld of Karachi and gets closer to ISI and to the power centre of Pakistani politics to stay one step ahead of the plotters against the Indian soil. The film is also emotionally charged. With a school-going child, Hamza's future with Yalina is hopeless, and he steadily pursues his goals.
Dhurandhar: The Revenge opened to mostly positive reviews upon release and was viewed as equally competent compared to the first film. An excerpt from the CE review reads, "Director Aditya Dhar ably reigns the narrative and in a bid to remain engaging doesn’t resort to inundating the film with one action setup after another."
Dhurandhar: The Revenge, also starring Sara Arjun, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, Rakesh Bedi, and Danish Pandor, focuses on Hamza Ali Mazari (Ranveer) taking over the Karachi underworld after eliminating Akshaye Khanna's Rahman Dakait and penetrating deep into the underworld and politics to effectively thwart Pakistan's bid to destabilise India.
