Dhurandhar 2 vs Bhooth Bangla: Box Office Battle Heats Up (23.04.2026)

Ranveer Singh's Spy Thriller 'Dhurandhar 2' Completes 35-Day Box Office Journey

Ranveer Singh's highly anticipated spy thriller 'Dhurandhar 2' has successfully completed a 35-day theatrical run at the box office, marking a significant milestone for the Bollywood blockbuster. Released in March 2025, the film initially enjoyed a relatively uncontested period in cinemas, with many competing filmmakers opting to postpone their releases in response to the movie's early success and strong audience reception.

Akshay Kumar's 'Bhooth Bangla' Emerges as Formidable Competitor

However, just as 'Dhurandhar 2' celebrated its month-long theatrical presence, Akshay Kumar's supernatural comedy 'Bhooth Bangla' premiered and immediately presented formidable competition. From its initial paid preview screenings through its opening weekend and into its first full week of release, 'Bhooth Bangla' has demonstrated impressive box office performance that has directly challenged the dominance of Ranveer Singh's spy drama.

The competitive landscape became particularly evident on Wednesday, when Akshay Kumar's 'Bhooth Bangla' soared to earn over Rs 6 crore in a single day. Meanwhile, 'Dhurandhar 2,' featuring an ensemble cast including Ranveer Singh, Rakesh Bedi, Arjun Rampal, and Sanjay Dutt, managed to collect below Rs 2 crore on the same day, signaling a significant shift in box office dynamics.
