The reign of 'Dhurandhar 2' at the box office is coming to an end, and the writing is on the wall. After dominating the charts for over a month, the Ranveer Singh-starrer spy thriller is facing a swift decline in its earnings, with the release of Akshay Kumar's 'Bhooth Bangla' posing a significant challenge. On its 33rd day, the film collected a mere Rs 1.62 crore, a staggering 68.8% drop from the previous Sunday's collection of Rs 5.20 crore. This marks a dramatic shift from the film's earlier success, where it crossed the Rs 1100 crore mark, setting a monumental record. The decline is evident, with the film's domestic gross now standing at Rs 1,117.29 crore, and its worldwide collection at Rs 1,758.96 crore. The comparison between the two films is stark: 'Dhurandhar 2' earned an estimated Rs 12 crore in its fifth weekend, while 'Bhooth Bangla' dominated the opening weekend with an impressive Rs 58 crore. This shift in audience preference highlights the dynamic nature of the box office, where the success of one film can swiftly impact another's performance. The decline of 'Dhurandhar 2' raises questions about the longevity of its appeal and the strategies that can be employed to sustain box office success in the face of competition. The film's overseas earnings, standing at Rs 421.50 crore, offer a glimmer of hope, but the overall trend is concerning. As the film continues its journey, the industry will be watching closely to see how it navigates this challenging phase and whether it can reclaim its position at the top of the box office.
