Ranveer Singh’s [**Dhurandhar**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dhurandhar)has shattered records to become India’s highest-grossing Hindi film ever with Rs 770 crore, but its performance tells a fascinating regional story. While the film rules certain territories, it faces stiff competition from Pushpa 2 and Chhaava in others.

## Dhurandhar’s Circuit Performance Overview

| **Circuit** | **Position** | **Leading Film(s)** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Delhi-UP** | 1st | Dhurandhar dominates |
| **East Punjab** | 1st | Dhurandhar leads |
| **Mysore** | 1st | Dhurandhar tops |
| Mumbai | 3rd | Behind Chhaava & Pushpa 2 |

## Urban vs Rural Divide

The film’s success reveals distinct viewing patterns. Dhurandhar crushes records in metropolitan centers like Delhi, Noida, and Lucknow—nearly doubling Pushpa 2’s collections in Noida. However, smaller towns favor Pushpa 2, demonstrating the urban-centric nature of this action thriller.

In Mumbai-Pune, Dhurandhar secures second place behind Chhaava, while Gujarat sees it trailing only Pushpa 2. This geographic split highlights different audience preferences across India’s diverse markets.

## The Rs 1000 Crore Potential

Analysts suggest if one film could capture peak performance from every circuit, it would cross Rs 1000 crore net. The upcoming **Dhurandhar 2** and later **Ramayan Part One** might tap into this untapped potential by broadening their appeal beyond metro audiences.
