Dhurandhar 2 Box Office Surpasses Rs 1,700 Crore Mark, Chases Records of Pushpa 2 and Baahubali 2 The action thriller Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge, starring Ranveer Singh, has become the first Hindi film to cross the Rs 1,700 crore mark globally in just 25 days, according to recent box office reports. The film, directed by Aditya Dhar, has defied typical late-stage box office fatigue, maintaining strong audience turnout despite competition from the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) season. As of Day 25, the film’s estimated net collection stands at Rs 1,083.67 crore, with a gross total of Rs 1,297.48 crore domestically and Rs 415.50 crore overseas. Its worldwide gross is now projected at Rs 1,712.98 crore, surpassing the Rs 1,700 crore milestone without any Gulf or China market contributions. The film’s success is attributed to its strong word-of-mouth, compelling narrative, and the absence of major competition during its run. While it has yet to surpass the Rs 1,742 crore lifetime gross of Pushpa 2: The Rule, it is on track to close the gap in the coming days. Analysts note that Dhurandhar 2’s primary Hindi market accounted for a significant share of its Rs 1,068.92 crore India net collection, positioning it as a standalone blockbuster rather than relying on secondary revenue streams from regional dubs. The film’s performance in its fourth weekend (Day 25) saw a net collection of Rs 14.75 crore and a gross of Rs 17.68 crore, according to Sacnilk. This brought its total India net collection to Rs 1,083.67 crore, with a cumulative gross of Rs 1,297.48 crore. The film’s overseas haul, driven by strong performances in North America, the UK, Australia, and Europe, contributed Rs 415.50 crore.#aditya_dhar #ranveer_singh #lyari #indian_premier_league #dhurandhar_2

Ameesha Patel Reacts To Dhurandhar 2 Success: 'Aditya Dhar Cast Actors, Not Instagrammers' Ameesha Patel has praised the success of Dhurandhar 2, calling it an "eye opener" and highlighting Aditya Dhar’s focus on storytelling over fleeting trends. The actress took to her X handle to express her admiration for the film, emphasizing that the project was a film, not a superficial project, and that it featured actors rather than influencers who gain attention through social media. She wrote, "Industry needs to realise that ADITYA made a film and not a project, casted actors and not instagrammers who trend at parties, stop making projects and start making films." Patel’s comments reflect a broader industry sentiment, as Dhurandhar 2 has garnered widespread acclaim from both Bollywood and South Indian film circles. The film, a sequel to the original Dhurandhar, follows Ranveer Singh’s character, Hamza Ali Mazari, as he rises to become Sher-e-Baloch, the king of Lyari. The story traces his transformation from Jaskirat Singh Rangi to a spy seeking revenge for terrorist attacks in the nation.

Who is Nabeel Gabol? The alleged Pakistani politician behind Dhurandhar's character Jameel Jamali The release of Dhurandhar 2 has thrust Pakistani politician Nabeel Gabol into the public eye, as the film’s character Jameel Jamali is alleged to be based on him. Initially, Gabol seemed to embrace the resemblance, but his public demeanor has shifted dramatically since the film’s release. Reports suggest he is now in a state of panic, reportedly avoiding media attention and maintaining a low profile, as the character is portrayed as an Indian spy. Online users have seized the opportunity to mock him, with social media platforms abuzz with jokes and critiques. Nabeel Gabol is a prominent figure in Karachi, representing the Lyari constituency for the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP). His political career has been marked by both achievements and controversies. He has held a leadership role in the PPP for over two decades, but his tenure has not been without challenges. In 2013, he left the party after accusing it of neglecting Lyari, a neighborhood he has long advocated for. He briefly joined the MQM before returning to the PPP in 2017, this time alongside his son. Gabol’s recent visibility has been driven by his association with the film, where his likeness was used for the character Jameel Jamali. The film’s portrayal of Jamali as an Indian spy has reportedly unsettled Gabol, leading to his abrupt withdrawal from public engagement. Netizens have taken to social media to highlight the irony of his situation, with many mocking his shift from pride to panic. One user remarked, “He is Nabeel Gabol... basking in its glory... But after Dhurandhar 2... he has suddenly gone into full panic mode.” Another joked, “From flex to panic real quick... don’t be surprised if Pak Army picks him up.#lyari #karachi #dhurandhar_2 #nabeel_gabol #pakistan_people_s_party

While the Hindi version contributed the largest share, the Tamil and Telugu versions added Rs 2.50 crore and Rs 5.25 crore, respectively.

Dhurandhar The Revenge Actor Reveals He Didn’t Know His Character’s Identity The actor portraying Bade Sahab in Dhurandhar: The Revenge shared that he was initially unaware of his character’s true identity. Danish Iqbal, who plays the role, revealed during an interview with Zoom that director Aditya Dhar kept his character’s background secret for much of the production. Iqbal explained that he was surprised when the film’s release finally unveiled that his character, Bade Sahab, is based on real-life gangster Dawood Ibrahim. Iqbal described the experience of filming the role, noting that he was aware he was portraying Dawood Ibrahim but remained uncertain about the character’s public moniker. “I was playing Dawood; I was pretty much aware of it,” he said. “But Dawood is Bade Sahab, even I was not 100% confident.” He added that during filming, he was often addressed as “Dawood bhai” or “Sahab” by others, but no one explicitly confirmed his character’s identity to him. The actor, known for his work in theater and television, including his role as Dilshad Mirza in Maharani Season 2, emphasized that the secrecy around his character added to the challenge of the role. “This Bade Sahab discussion was never there,” he said. “I mean, till about a couple of months ago, I was also not aware that I was playing Bade Sahab. I was in doubt.” Dhurandhar: The Revenge, released on March 19, is the sequel to the 2025 film Dhurandhar, which became a box office hit despite mixed critical reviews. The original film, directed by Aditya Dhar, featured Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, and Sanjay Dutt, and grossed ₹1,300 crore globally. The sequel, which has already crossed ₹100 crore in its opening day, continues the story of Ranveer’s character, Hamza, as he navigates the complexities of power and loyalty in Lyari.#aditya_dhar #dhurandhar_the_revenge #lyari #danish_iqbal #dawood_ibrahim
SP Chaudhary Aslam: A Controversial Figure in Karachi's Police Force Chaudhary Aslam, a prominent figure in Pakistan's Sindh Police, was known for his aggressive tactics in combating crime, particularly in the Lyari area of Karachi. His career spanned decades, marked by both praise and intense scrutiny. Joining the police force in 1984 as an Assistant Sub-Inspector, Aslam rose through the ranks, eventually leading high-profile operations against militant groups such as Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan and Lashkar-e-Jhangvi. His work in Lyari, a region plagued by gang violence and extremism, earned him recognition but also sparked debates over his methods. Aslam's reputation was further shaped by allegations of extrajudicial actions. Critics accused him of orchestrating staged encounters, where suspected criminals were killed in what appeared to be gunfights. These accusations gained traction after the 2009 killing of Rahman Dakait, a gang leader. His wife publicly blamed Aslam for the encounter, which many believed was a setup. Despite these controversies, Aslam continued to lead major operations, including the 2012 Lyari grand operation, aimed at restoring order to the area. His career was also marked by personal threats and attacks. In 2012, a suicide bomber targeted his home in Karachi, causing significant damage and killing several people, though Aslam survived. The attack underscored the dangers he faced as a police officer. His life ultimately ended in a targeted assassination in 2014, when a car bomb struck his convoy in Essa Nagri, killing him along with his guards and driver. Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan claimed responsibility, citing his long-standing role in targeting their members. Aslam's legacy remains polarizing.#lyari #karachi #chaudhary_aslam #tehrik_i_taliban_pakistan #lashkar_e_jhangvi

The trailer concludes with Ranveer’s Hamza smoking a cigarette, his voice declaring, “Pakistan’s future will be decided now by India.” The film’s logline describes Jaskirat Singh Rangi’s journey from his real identity to becoming Hamza Ali Mazari, tracing his rise as he operates within Pakistan. The first Dhurandhar film, released on December 5, 2025, became a box office hit, earning Rs 836 crore (India net) according to Sacnilk.
