Baahubali 2’s Mighty Record Falls After 9 Long Years

A historic box office milestone is on the verge of being rewritten as Dhurandhar 2 gears up to surpass the long-standing record of Baahubali 2: The Conclusion. For nine years, Baahubali 2 held its position as one of Indian cinema’s biggest grossers, second only to Dangal, which benefited significantly from its exceptional run in China.

Now, trade reports suggest that Dhurandhar 2 is just about ₹10 crore away from overtaking Baahubali 2’s lifetime collections (i.e 1790cr as per trade numbers). With strong momentum at the box office, the film is expected to achieve this milestone by the end of the weekend, marking a significant moment in Indian film history.

The potential record-break highlights the changing dynamics of the box office, with newer films reaching massive numbers faster than ever before. While Baahubali 2 set benchmarks with its scale and storytelling, Dhurandhar 2 appears to be riding a wave of widespread audience acceptance and strong repeat value.

If the current trend continues, Dhurandhar 2 will officially become the second highest-grossing Indian film, pushing Baahubali 2 to the third spot. The achievement not only reflects the film’s success but also signals a new era where records once considered untouchable are now within reach.
