Box Office Debate: ‘Dhurandhar 2’ Record Sparks Comparisons with Baahubali Legacy
The massive success of Dhurandhar 2 has taken the global box office by storm, especially in North America, where it reportedly broke a long-standing record. Filmmaker Aditya Dhar received special appreciation from the team behind Baahubali, marking a rare moment of cross-industry recognition in Indian cinema.
The Baahubali franchise, led by S. S. Rajamouli and starring Prabhas, had set benchmarks globally, particularly in overseas markets. With Dhurandhar 2 now surpassing a 9-year-old North America record, the achievement is being seen as a significant milestone for Indian films expanding their global footprint.
Industry insiders believe that the success of Dhurandhar 2 reflects the growing acceptance of Indian cinema worldwide. The film’s scale, storytelling, and strong performances—reportedly featuring Ranveer Singh—have contributed to its strong run, especially among international audiences.
However, the record-breaking feat has also sparked debates online, with fans comparing Dhurandhar 2 to the legacy of Baahubali: The Beginning and Baahubali 2: The Conclusion. While some celebrate the new milestone, others argue that Baahubali’s cultural impact remains unmatched, keeping the discussion alive across social media platforms.
