The rapper further highlighted the deeply immersive nature of the films, commending both their compelling storytelling and exceptional musical scores. "You don't watch Dhurandhar; you experience it.

On the international front, the film added Rs 4 crore on its twentieth day, bringing its overseas total to about Rs 404 crore. This impressive performance elevates the worldwide gross to roughly Rs 1,640 crore, solidifying its status as a monumental blockbuster.
The inaugural installment, Dhurandhar, released in December 2025, had already secured its position as the highest-grossing film of the year and the top single-language earner. The sequel surpassed its predecessor's lifetime collection in merely 11 days of release, reinforcing the franchise's supremacy at the box office.
Alongside Ranveer Singh, the film features a stellar ensemble cast including Arjun Rampal, R Madhavan, and Sanjay Dutt, all of whom reprise their roles in this high-octane sequel.
