Dhurandhar breaks record, overtakes Chhaava and Pushpa 2 to become India’s all-time longest-trending film

Fans need to wait for a little more than a month to witness Aditya Dhar's much-awaited sequel, Dhurandhar 2, titled as Dhurandhar: The Revenge. But the craze for Dhurandhar is still continuing. The Ranveer Singh-starrer has continued to trend on the popular online ticketing platform BookMyShow since its release last year. It has now emerged as the longest-trending Indian film on the platform, as per Hindustan Times.

Dhurandhar, the longest-trending Indian film on BookMyShow

Sacnilk reported that by mid-February, Dhurandhar had been trending on the online ticketing platform for 59 days, surpassing the previous record of 58 days set by Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava in 2025. Both Chhaava and Dhurandhar are said to have benefited from strong word of mouth. After a healthy opening business, both went on to post exceptional second- and third-week box-office performances, helping them to sustain longer in theatres than most big-budget films. Stree 2, starring Shraddha Kapoor, currently holds the third position with 57 days of trending on the platform.

Over the years, the duration for which a film continues trending on BookMyShow is said to become an important indicator of a film's success, reflecting on its longevity, audience engagement, and overall box-office performance. The same report by Hindustan Times suggests that nearly half of a film’s total ticket sales are generated through the platform. The top ten films with the longest trending runs on BookMyShow feature a mix of recent Hindi blockbusters, large-scale pan-India releases, and Malayalam hits that have brought audiences to the theatres.

Manjummel Boys followed them for 50 days.
