DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE saw the first noticeable drop on its second Monday and it coincided with the first major drop in ticket rates as well. Despite this drop, the collections still remain huge at 22 crore nett. This is only the second time that a second Monday has gone over 20 crore nett, the first being DHURANDHAR released late last year.

The total collections of the film now stand at 747 crore nett and there is a holiday on Tuesday which should give higher collections on Tuesday as compared to Monday. The second week has so far collected 171 crore nett in its second week and it remains to be seen if it can beat the 240 crore nett of DHURANDHAR.

The film has smashed every record in the book till the second weekend but it as always going to get harder from the second Monday as DHURANDHAR 1 went on a crazy run from its second Monday. The weekday collections of that film on the weekdays were more than historic. As a result, DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE may not set a second weekend record. The film should do enough in week two to become the first film in history to reach 800 crore nett in the history of Hindi cinema.

The dubbed versions are at 42 crore nett apprx.

NOTE - The figures reported before were for just Tamil and Telugu versions but there are some limited collections from Kannada and Malayalam versions also and that has been added now.

DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE crossed the 3 crore footfall mark on its second Monday. It joins GADAR 2, JAWAN, STREE 2, CHHAAVA and DHURANDHAR as the sixth original Hindi film to cross 3 crore footfalls post pandemic. DHURANDHAR leads the race with 3.55 crore footfalls post pandemic and DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE is certain to beat that. It should also breach the 4 crore mark comfortably.

The highest footfalls for a film in Hindi post pandemic is PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE which did almost 4 crore which DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE will beat. The average ticket price of DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE is going fall around 10% higher than the first part and it will be very close to the 300 mark. The ATP (Average Ticket Price) of DHURANDHAR was around 265 while PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE was 230.  Here with DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE, it will probably end in the 290 range.

The 5 crore footfall mark is out of reach as far as the Hindi version goes but including dubbed formats, there is a chance it can get somewhere around 5 crore or close. In this way, JAWAN had around 3.5 crore footfalls with its dubbed versions and DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE will be way ahead by at least 1.25 crore and maybe even 1.50 crore.

The DHURANDHAR films will lead the race post pandemic even if we include all versions. Part 2 will be around 4.75-5 crore and Part 1 will be 3.55 crore and part 1 is only Hindi language without any dubbed versions. Next would be JAWAN at 3.50 crore and then GADAR 2 at 3.40 crore. GADAR 2 was also released in Hindi language only.
---------------------------------------
DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE went up a little on Tuesday as it was a holiday for Mahavir Jayanti and it collected around 24 crore nett. The growth was less for a holiday but the film still has high levels of collections. It has done well over 700 crore nett already. The second week collection is already 195 crore nett and it will be second film in history to get over 200 crore nett in week two.

The job is done for the film as its the biggest blockbuster seen in recent times and it will even hit that coveted 4 crore footfall mark which no film in Hindi has done since 2001. But there is that 1000 crore nett target and then also the target to beat PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE in all versions. These targets are not foregone issues.

Obviously its about 1000 crore first and although it should get there, its not easy to cover almost 200 crore nett after the second week. This is especially when a film took such a huge opening. The film also has a huge ratio from South India and here outside Bangalore collections, don't really hold well. If we include dubbed versions, then the film will become the first from the Hindi film industry to hit 200 crore nett in South India by the end of the week.

DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE is also on the verge of becoming of the highest grosser in Hindi and that will happen today and by the end of the week it will be the first film to cross 800 crore nett. Then its about 900 crore nett which will happen and then it remains to be seen if 1000 crore nett is reached.

DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE became the highest grossing Hindi film on Wednesday as it crossed the business of the previous record holder, DHURANDHAR, within 14 days. The collection on the second Wednesday was 17.50 crore nett which takes the film to 788 crore nett. It will become the first film to breach 800 crore nett today.

The collections have come down to lower levels on Wednesday but this was expected as the run has been beyond phenomenal so far. You just cant hold collections at that level especially with such high ratio of business from South India where its a front loaded market for Hindi films outside Bangalore. The film has covered 3.2 crore admits in just 14 days and paid previews. So, this pace just can't continue.

Basically now its about the 1000 crore nett mark and the wait to see if this film can reach there. Its a huge benchmark just like 1, 10 and 100 were and now its 1000. If we go by original Hindi films, then 1 crore nett came in 1952, then 10 crore nett came in 1975 and 100 crore nett came in 2008. Now the wait is for 1000 crore nett which will come one day. It remains to be seen whether it will be DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE or some other film.

DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE had a huge second week of 218 crore nett. This is 60% drop from the first week which was an extended first week eight days and paid previews as well. On top of it, the first week was full of holidays which was not there in week two. The collections have come down to lower levels over the last two days but this inevitable due to that huge first week where records were shattered by miles.

The film has a total collection 805 crore nett so far becoming the first film to cross 800 crore nett. The film has set a new high for for a Hindi film but circuit wise it is only East Punjab and Southern circuits where it has set new highs. Most of the others should come by the end of this week though in a couple of circuits, its unlikely to reach top spot. The race now is for 1000 crore nett figure.

It would be great if the film can beat the 1125 crore nett of PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE in all versions but that does look difficult due to these lower collections over the last two days and limited support in dubbed formats. The film has almost 50 crore nett from its dubbed versions. So, its total on all versions is around 853 crore nett. Including this, the 1000 crore nett mark is sure to come. For Hindi alone, DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE will need a 100 crore third week to keep on target for the 1000 crore nett mark.

DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE saw the second highest second week of all time as it fell a little short of the record set by DHURANDHAR in December. DHURANDHAR had collected 242 crore nett as compared to the 228 crore nett by the sequel. Only this franchise has got over the 200 crore nett mark in week two and both films have done that by comfortable margins.

The 100 crore nett mark in week two is still tough despite these two films crossing 200 crore nett. Only ten original Hindi films have managed to do it and are listed below. All films are post pandemic with DANGAL being the only one before the pandemic to hit 100 crore nett in week two. From dubbed films, BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION and PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE have managed 100 crore nett plus second weeks.

The potential for the bigger films is going up and up and very fast as a 200 crore nett second would have been unthinkable 2-3 years back. Not only do you have 200 crore nett second weeks, there is the potential of a 100 crore nett third week as well,. Before the pandemic, only BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION had crossed 50 crore nett in week three and here DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE will be going for 100 crore nett which the first part has already achieved.

The top ten second week collections of all time for original Hindi films are as follows.
1. Dhurandhar - 2,42,70,00,000
2. Dhurandhar The Revenge - 2,28,50,00,000
3. Chhaava - 1,70,31,00,000
4. Stree 2 - 1,41,03,00,000
5. Gadar 2 - 1,33,56,00,000
6. Animal - 1,32,97,00,000
7. Jawan - 1,17,94,00,000
8. Dangal - 1,11,56,00,000
9. The Kashmir Files - 1,07,74,00,000
10. Saiyaara - 1,05,31,00,000
