Bollywood fans finally have a new reason to celebrate. After nearly a year of dominance, Pushpa 2 has been dethroned as the highest-grossing Hindi film, with “Dhurandhar” officially taking the top spot at the box office.
In just seven weeks, Dhurandhar has amassed ₹829.40 crore in Hindi nett collections, edging past Pushpa 2, which had closed its Hindi run at ₹810.10 crore. What makes this achievement even more remarkable is the stark contrast in the two films’ journeys.
While Pushpa 2 was a highly anticipated sequel riding on the massive success and fanbase of its predecessor, Dhurandhar arrived as a standalone, fresh film, backed mainly by a single impactful trailer and strong word of mouth.
The week-wise box office trend clearly highlights this difference.
Pushpa 2 opened to a thunderous ₹425.10 crore in its first week—more than double Dhurandhar’s ₹207.25 crore opening. However, the momentum didn’t last. By its second week, Pushpa 2 witnessed a sharp 50% drop, collecting only ₹196.50 crore.
In contrast, Dhurandhar showed rare box office stamina. Its second-week collections jumped by 21%, reaching ₹252.25 crore, signalling strong audience reception and repeat viewership. From there on, Dhurandhar consistently outperformed Pushpa 2 week after week.

With several big-ticket films lined up in the coming months, all eyes are now on which movie will be bold enough—and strong enough—to challenge Dhurandhar’s newly minted record.
