2026 Half-Yearly Box Office classification: Dhurandhar 2 is an All Time Blockbuster; Border 2 Super-Hit, Bhooth Bangla a Hit

The first half of 2026 has been an eventful period for the Hindi film box office. While the industry witnessed a wide range of releases across genres, scales and star combinations, the commercial picture becomes particularly interesting when one looks at the classification of some of the key titles that arrived in cinemas between January and June.

The trend is evident: event films and franchise-driven entertainers continued to dominate the theatrical landscape, while several mid-range films found it difficult to convert visibility into decisive box office success. The biggest title in this classification is undoubtedly Dhurandhar - The Revenge. Starring Ranveer Singh and Sara Arjun, the film emerged as an All Time Blockbuster with a reported lifetime collection of Rs. 1108.09 crore. Its performance single-handedly altered the comp...
