Dhurandhar 2 Box Office: ₹1000 Cr Milestone & Oye Oye Lawsuit

Dhurandhar 2 Box Office

The hype surrounding Dhurandhar 2 isn’t just about the massive action sequences; it’s a story of absolute box-office dominance clashing with a heated legal battle over a nostalgic anthem.

Breaking the “1,000 Crore” Ceiling

As of April 11, 2026, Dhurandhar 2 has cemented itself as a titan in Indian cinema history. It became the first Hindi film ever to cross the ₹1,000 crore net milestone within India.

Metric	Achievement (Approx.)
India Net (Hindi)	₹1,005 Crore
Worldwide Gross	₹1,671 Crore
Overseas Gross	₹408 Crore
Global Rank (2026)	#10 Highest Grossing Film (ahead of Chris Hemsworth’s Crime 101)

The “Week 3” Record: Despite the massive 229-minute runtime (nearly 4 hours!), it recorded the second-highest third week in Hindi cinema history, surpassed only by the first Dhurandhar.

The Controversy: The “Oye Oye” Legal Row

While the cash registers ring, the Delhi High Court has become a second stage for the film. The dispute centers on the high-octane track “Rang De Lal (Oye Oye).”

The Core Dispute

Trimurti Films (the production house behind the 1989 classic Tridev) filed a lawsuit against Aditya Dhar’s B62 Studios.

• The Claim: Trimurti alleges the song is “substantially similar” or a direct use of the iconic track “Tirchi Topiwala” from Tridev without a proper license.
• The Defense: Super Cassettes (holding the audio rights for Dhurandhar 2) argues that the claim is “unclean,” noting that versions of the song have been used in other films previously without similar objections.

Current Legal Status

On April 10, 2026, Justice Tushar Rao Gedela observed that the dispute is primarily financial (royalties and compensation). The court has:

1. Referred the case to Mediation: Appointed a senior mediator to help both parties settle out of court.
2. No Interim Ban: The film continues to play in theaters, and the song remains on digital platforms for now.
3. OTT Delay: Producers informed the court that the film likely won’t hit OTT platforms until mid-May, providing a window for the mediation to conclude.

🎬 Why Fans are Obsessed

Beyond the numbers, the “Dhurandhar mania” is being fueled by Ranveer Singh’s grueling transformation into Hamza Ali Mazari. His appearance at Anant Ambani’s birthday this week—where he was seen dancing to the film’s hits—has kept the movie trending on social media for 23 straight days.
