Dhurandhar 2

Dhurandhar 2 released in theatres on March 19, with paid preview shows held a day earlier. While most Hindi shows ran on time, the Tamil and Telugu screenings were delayed until 9 pm, and the Kannada and Malayalam shows were pushed to the next morning due to technical glitches. Despite these issues, the film recorded an impressive Day 0 collection of Rs 43 crore, while its Day 1 earnings crossed Rs 102.55 crore.

The film is the sequel to the first part, which was released in December last year and has so far minted Rs 1300 crore.
