Dhurandhar 2 Beats Jawan by 15% in Kerala in Just 12 Days; Sets New All Time Record for Hindi Films

BY SACNILK

Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge is continuing its historic box office run across India and overseas, but one of the most remarkable stories of its performance is coming from the Kerala box office, where the film is rewriting the record books for Hindi cinema. As of Day 12, Dhurandhar 2 has collected over ₹16 crore gross in Kerala, making it the highest grossing Hindi film in the state within the first 12 days of release. This is a historic achievement because Kerala has traditionally been a difficult market for Hindi films, with local Malayalam films dominating the box office. Before Dhurandhar 2, Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan was one of the strongest performing Hindi films in Kerala, collecting around ₹13.90 crore. Pathaan also performed strongly with over ₹13 crore, while Aamir Khan's Dangal crossed the ₹10 crore mark in the state. Dhurandhar Part 1 had collected around ₹8.70 crore in Kerala, making the sequel's performance almost double that of the first film within the same timeframe. Top 5 Bollywood movies in Kerala BoxOffice MOVIE NAME KERALA GROSS (12 DAYS) Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge ₹ 16+ Cr* Jawan ₹ 13.90 Cr Pathaan ₹ 13+ Cr Dangal ₹ 10+ Cr Dhurandhar (Part 1) ₹ 8.70+ Cr The Kerala box office performance becomes even more noteworthy when viewed in the context of theatre trends in the state. Over the past decade, the number of cinema theatres in Kerala has reportedly dropped significantly, with hundreds of theatres shutting down due to declining footfalls, rising costs, and the growth of OTT platforms. Industry reports have also highlighted that a large number of films released every year fail to recover costs, indicating that theatrical attendance in the state is highly selective and driven mainly by strong content or event films. In this context, Dhurandhar 2 crossing the ₹16 crore mark in Kerala within just 12 days is a significant achievement, as it reflects sustained audience turnout in a market where theatre performance depends heavily on word of mouth and strong audience reception. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) What makes this performance even more significant is that Dhurandhar 2 has achieved this milestone in just 12 days, becoming the first Hindi film in history to cross ₹15 crore gross in Kerala in such a short span. The film is now heading towards the ₹20 crore mark in the state, which would set a new benchmark for Hindi cinema in the Kerala market. The strong performance in Kerala is part of a much larger box office domination story. Dhurandhar 2 is performing exceptionally well across all territories including North India, South India, and overseas markets. The film is not just performing in traditional Hindi film markets but is also leading in several non-traditional markets for Bollywood films. As of Day 12, Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has collected ₹1,392.23 crore at the worldwide box office, making it one of the fastest Hindi films to reach this milestone and further proving its massive global appeal. From North India to South India and from overseas markets to smaller domestic territories, Dhurandhar 2 is setting new benchmarks everywhere. The film is not just a box office success but a record-breaking run across multiple territories, and its Kerala performance is one of the biggest highlights of its historic theatrical run.
