Key Points
- Dhurandhar The Revenge has entered the Rs 500 crore (Rs 5 billion) club in just five days, an unprecedented achievement in Indian cinema.
- The film surpassed previous records held by Pushpa 2 (10 days) and Jawan (13 days) to reach this milestone.
- With a significant Monday collection, the film is now poised to enter the 600 crore (Rs 6 billion) club by Wednesday.
In less than six days, Dhurandhar The Revenge has entered Rs 500 crore (Rs 5 billion) club, and nothing like this has ever happened before.
Before its predecessor, Dhurandhar, the fastest Rs 500 Crore (Rs 5 billion) Club entrant was Pushpa 2 in 2024. Its dubbed Hindi version had taken 10 days to go past the Rs 500 crore (Rs 5 billion) mark.
The first Bollywood film to achieve this feat was 2023's Jawan, and the feat was achieved in 13 days.
Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar took 15 days to get there but when it did, it scored far bigger in its lifetime run.
