The tale of Dhurandhar continues, as does its rampage at the box office. Dhurandhar: The Revenge, the sequel to Ranveer Singh’s 2025 action drama, is projected to have earned over Rs 72 crore in its Hindi version alone on the opening day, beating Jawan (2023) to become the biggest opener in Hindi cinema. Trade analysts believe the box-office run of Aditya Dhar’s directorial venture will surpass the three-week window it has before Akshay Kumar’s Bhooth Bangla arrives on April 10. 
  
According to Rajasthan-based exhibitor Raj Bansal, the makers of the horror comedy should defer its release. “I am sure they will do it. The prices at which Dhurandhar 2 tickets are being sold, it will drain out the entertainment budget for a family [for that month],” Bansal told mid-day. He added that director Priyadarshan’s film will have another disadvantage. “There will be an immediate comparison with Dhurandhar 2.”
