"#DHURANDHAR IS AIMING TO DETHRONE #AlluArjun’s #PUSHPA2 ₹830 CR NETT HINDI LIFETIME. The film’s insane third-weekend trend has confirmed its assault on the all-time throne. Film is eying Crazyyy ₹ 90 Cr+ Weekend 3 - Yes you heard it right. The BIGGEST GROSSER & BLOCKBUSTER of Hindi cinema is firmly in sight," Kadel wrote on X.
