Dhurandhar vs Pushpa 2 Box Office: Week-Wise Comparison Between Two Biggest Hindi Blockbusters

Mumbai, January 22 - The Hindi box office has witnessed a historic shift as Ranveer Singh-starrer Dhurandhar has officially emerged as the biggest Hindi net grosser of all time, collecting a staggering 830 crore net in India so far. The action-packed entertainer recently overtook Allu Arjun's Pushpa 2: The Rule, which wrapped up its Hindi theatrical run with an extraordinary 812 crore net.

While Pushpa 2 stormed the box office with a thunderous opening and dominated the initial weeks, its collections started dropping big after 4-5 weeks, which is completely normal for a frontloaded starter. Despite that, the film rewrote records for a dubbed release and proved the massive pull of the Pushpa franchise in the Hindi belt, driven by Allu Arjun's growing popularity and the brand value created by the first part.

On the other hand, Dhurandhar showcased exceptional long-run stamina, with exceptional weekday holds and sustained collections well into its later weeks. It has been owning weekly records since the second week, which is remarkable for an adult-rated film. Backed by positive word of mouth and strong recall value, the film steadily closed the gap before eventually surpassing Pushpa 2 to claim the all-time crown.

The week-wise trend shows that after dominating the first week, Pushpa 2 started lagging behind the Bollywood mega blockbuster. With Dhurandhar now reigning at the top and Pushpa 2 firmly placed as a close second, these two mega blockbusters have redefined benchmarks for Hindi box office performance, underlining the growing dominance of big-scale, mass-driven cinema in India.
