Is the newcomer Dhurandhar 2 really strong enough to topple the massive records set by Jawan, Pathaan, and Animal? While Shah Rukh Khan basically lived at the top of the charts last year with his back-to-back hits, and Animal shocked everyone with its raw staying power, the real question is who maintained the lead after that explosive opening day. Everyone loves a good numbers battle, and seeing these four giants go head-to-head reveals some wild trends in what we’re actually heading to the theaters to watch.
From record-breaking “Day 1” collections to that crucial second-weekend haul, the gap between these films is surprisingly thin. Jawan and Pathaan relied on that classic superstar magnetism to pull in global crowds, while Animal proved that a gritty, polarizing story can also break the bank. Dhurandhar 2 enters this ring with a lot of hype, but matching the total lifetime collections of these historical blockbusters is a whole different game. It’s not just about the fast start; it’s about which movie kept the seats full weeks later.
