It is truly remarkable to see a film still finding fresh oxygen in its tenth week, but Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge is doing exactly that. On its 69th day in theaters, the sequel managed to rake in a net of 0.15 Cr across India. While the number might seem small in isolation, it actually represents a 25 percent growth compared to the previous day's 0.12 Cr. For a movie to show an upward trend this late in its theatrical run is a testament to its incredible legs at the box office. With this latest addition to the kitty, the total India net collection has reached a staggering 1,147.85 Cr. Most of this moolah has come from the Hindi version, which alone has crossed the 1,000 Crore milestone, sitting at 1,079.31 Cr. The film has also seen healthy contributions from the South, particularly from the Telugu version, which netted 43.07 Cr. Overall, the India gross now stands at 1,373.73 Cr, and when you combine that with an overseas gross of 426.67 Cr, the film has officially breached the massive 1,800 Crore worldwide milestone. If you look at the occupancy levels for Day 69, the film is performing exceptionally well in specific pockets despite having only 246 shows left nationwide. Pune was the standout performer yesterday, recording a massive 66 percent overall occupancy, with afternoon shows even hitting 100 percent capacity. Mumbai also saw strong footfalls with 43 percent occupancy, including an evening peak of 91 percent. In the National Capital Region (NCR), which still holds the highest show count at 56, the occupancy stayed solid at 30.5 percent. It is clear that the core audience is still showing up to experience this spectacle on the big screen. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) National multiplex chains like PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis show that the film added around 1.3 Lakhs to its gross through advance sales for the day. Specifically, PVR brought in approximately 61K, followed by INOX at 40K and Cinepolis at 31K. Total ticket sales across these chains for the day were around 780 tickets. These figures show that while the volume is low, the film is still maintaining its presence in premium screens even after 525,460 cumulative shows since its release. In total, Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has cemented itself as an all-time blockbuster with worldwide collections of 1,800.40 Cr. The journey from its opening day to Day 69 has been record-breaking, and even as it nears the end of its theatrical journey, it continues to add those final bits of revenue to its legendary total. Logically, with new releases taking over most screens, the film is now making the most of its loyal urban fan base to finish its run on a high note.

Mohanlal is back in his most iconic role, and the box office numbers suggest that Drishyam 3 is finding plenty of oxygen to sustain its theatrical run. On its first Tuesday, which marks Day 6, the film collected a net of 6.45 Cr across India. This represents a logical 16.2 percent drop from Monday, which saw 7.70 Cr. While big-budget sequels often see a sharper decline after the opening weekend, this Tuesday collection indicates a steady hold for the film. With 4,668 shows running nationwide, the total India net collection has now reached a strong 68.60 Cr. The Malayalam version remains the heavy lifter, contributing 5.50 Cr to the Tuesday net. This performance has earned the film a spot among the elite performers in Mollywood history. While the film is performing well across all South Indian states, the core strength remains in its home territory. To give you some perspective on its domestic dominance, here is how the 6-day net collections for the Malayalam version compare with other recent blockbusters: Mollywood First 6 Days Highest Collection Movie (Net)RANKMOVIE NAMEFIRST 6 DAYS NET (MALAYALAM)1L2: Empuraan₹ 71.90 Cr2Drishyam 3 (Malayalam)₹ 59.05 Cr3Thudarum₹ 43.49 Cr4Vaazha 2: Biopic of a Billion Bros₹ 40.20 Cr5Aadujeevitham - The Goat Life₹ 34.77 Cr (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Kerala remains the primary engine for the film, contributing a gross of 50.95 Cr in just six days. This makes Drishyam 3 the second fastest film to hit the 50 Crore mark in the state, sitting just behind L2: Empuraan which reached the milestone in 5 days, and ahead of both Thudarum and Vaazha 2 which took 8 days. Karnataka has also added significant moolah to the kitty, crossing the 10 Crore milestone with a 10.28 Cr gross. With APTG bringing in 7.00 Cr and Tamil Nadu adding 6.35 Cr, the total India gross has reached a solid 79.62 Cr before completing its first week. Breaking into the second spot on the 6-day chart is a massive win for the franchise. However, if we look strictly at the first Tuesday earnings, the film faces stiff competition. With a net of 5.50 Cr for the Malayalam version on Tuesday, it currently sits at the fifth spot on the list of highest 1st Tuesday earners in Mollywood, trailing behind films like L2: Empuraan and Vaazha 2.

Bhooth Bangla is maintaining a steady pace as it completes its sixth week in theaters. On its 40th day, the film added 0.65 Cr net to its kitty across India, marking a 30 percent growth from the previous day’s 0.50 Cr. Even with new competition like Drishyam 3 taking up significant screen space, the movie is finding enough oxygen to keep its theatrical run alive during the weekdays.

When we look at the gross numbers, the film has crossed the 200 Crore mark domestically, sitting at 207.95 Cr.

It is not often that we see a single film dominate the charts in two different versions at the same time, but Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar is doing exactly that on Netflix. During the latest tracking window from May 18 to May 24, 2026, the film has pulled off a rare double-charting feat in India. The newly released uncut version, titled Dhurandhar (Raw & Undekha), has grabbed the Number 2 spot, while the original version of the film has climbed back up to occupy the Number 4 position. This simultaneous dominance is a fascinating case of defying viewership cannibalisation. Usually, when a new or extended version of a film is released, it tends to pull the audience away from the older version. However, in this instance, it seems to have triggered a massive rewatch cycle. Fans are actively streaming both versions side-by-side to compare the scenes and catch the differences, which is an exceptionally rare anomaly for Indian cinema on a global streaming platform. If you look at the domestic performance, the original Dhurandhar has managed to stay in the Top 10 for a staggering 17 weeks. Here is the complete Top 10 breakdown for the Indian market: (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Top 10 Movies on Netflix India (May 18-24, 2026)RANKINGMOVIE NAMEWEEKS IN TOP 1001Kartavya202Dhurandhar (Raw & Undekha)103Swapped404Dhurandhar1705Bharathanatyam 2 Mohiniyattam306Blue Beetle207Youth608Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom209Raakaasa410Made in Korea5 The success is not just limited to the domestic market. On the global stage, the sequel, Dhurandhar The Revenge (Raw & Undekha), has secured the 5th spot in the Non-English movies category. The numbers are quite impressive, with 1.3 million views recorded just this week and a staggering 49 million hours viewed. The film has a massive runtime of 3 hours and 52 minutes, which makes those high watch hours even more significant. By the end of its second weekend, the total views for this specific uncut version have reached 3.1 million worldwide. 01. Kartavya (4,200,000 Views | 7,700,000 Hours) 02.

Hidden Enemy (7,00,000 Views | 13,00,000 Hours) (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) A major factor behind this viral momentum is the inclusion of nearly 4 minutes of entirely unseen footage in the international uncut version of the sequel, Dhurandhar The Revenge (Raw & Undekha). This has sparked a significant wave across social media platforms like Instagram, with fans encouraging others to experience the unfiltered narrative. On the global stage, this specific version has secured the Number 1 spot in 7 countries—including Bangladesh, Bahrain, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan—while maintaining a Top 10 presence in 13 countries. With a massive runtime of 3 hours and 52 minutes, the film recorded 1.3 million views and an impressive 49 million viewing hours this week, solidifying its position at Number 5 on the global non-English movie chart. Meanwhile, in India, the film’s popularity has trickled back to the original part, causing both versions of the franchise to trend in the Top 5 simultaneously. Logically, this trend suggests that audiences are increasingly interested in extended director’s cuts that offer a deeper dive into the story. For a film like Dhurandhar, which follows a high-stakes mission into a criminal underworld, those extra minutes of raw footage have clearly added enough value to bring viewers back for a second or even third viewing. Seeing the original version stay in the Top 10 for 17 weeks while the new version climbs the charts is a testament to the enduring popularity of this franchise.

Karuppu is maintaining a steady grip at the box office as it completes its second Tuesday in theaters. After a strong opening week, the film is now navigating the usual weekday trend with a logical dip in numbers. Based on early estimates, the movie earned a net collection of 4.45 Cr in India on its 12th day. When we look at the trajectory, this represents a 24.6 percent drop from the previous day, which saw a collection of 5.90 Cr. It is a standard pattern for a big-budget film in its second week, and the steady count of 4,470 shows indicates that the film continues to hold a significant presence across screens. A significant milestone to note is that the film officially crossed the 150 Crore net mark in India on its 11th day itself. Reaching this level within just 11 days of release is a clear indicator of its strong box office pull and puts it in an elite bracket of performers. As of the end of Day 12, the total India net has climbed to 159.20 Cr, while the gross collections stand at 184.26 Cr. Looking back at the Day 11 trend, the film saw a typical post-weekend drop of 60 percent, but the steady performance on Tuesday suggests a consistent interest from the audience during the weekdays. Karuppu has managed to break into the top three for the highest second Tuesday net collections in the Tamil language. By earning 3.65 Cr from the Tamil version alone on its 12th day, it has outperformed hits like Amaran and Vikram.

The night shows in Chennai saw a peak of 41 percent, showing that the urban audience is still turning up in good numbers. Other regions like Coimbatore and Madurai are also showing healthy trends with 29.8 percent and 22 percent occupancy respectively. Bengaluru is seeing a more modest performance at 11.5 percent, which is typical for a Tamil film in its second week in that market. In terms of ticket sales in national chains like PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis, the film is holding its own even with new competition like Drishyam 3. For Day 12, the national chains contributed around 18.7 Lakhs to the advance gross. Specifically, PVR brought in 12.5 Lakhs, INOX contributed 4.9 Lakhs, and Cinepolis added 1.3 Lakhs. These figures show that while the volume is lower than the opening weekend, the interest remains sustained in multiplexes. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The ticket sales on BookMyShow also tell an interesting story, with Karuppu selling 79.16K tickets on its second Tuesday. If we look at how other major blockbusters have performed, Jailer sold 108K tickets on its second Tuesday. While Karuppu is trailing that specific record, selling nearly 80K tickets on a weekday is a very healthy sign. Total tickets sold on the platform have now reached a significant 38.42 Lakhs. On the global front, Suriya is witnessing a career-best performance in several markets, with early estimates suggesting the film added another 1.00 Cr on Day 12. In the UK and Ireland, the film has smashed records by crossing 400K Pounds [approximately 4.35 Cr] in just 11 days, marking it as a mega blockbuster in that region. Over in North America, according to data from Venky Box Office, the film earned 40K Dollars [around 33.5 Lakhs] on Monday, taking its total there to 1.29 Million Dollars [roughly 10.80 Cr]. Through the second weekend, the total overseas gross stands at 7.05 Million Dollars [67.1 Cr]. In total, the worldwide gross for Karuppu has now reached 253.26 Cr. With a total show count of 64,922 across its 12-day run, the film has managed to balance domestic strength with an impressive overseas footprint. The logical trend suggests it will continue to add to its tally before the next set of big releases arrives.
