The Dusshera holiday has added further momentum to its box-office run.

Can Jailer 2 beat Dhurandhar 2, Drishyam 3?
Jailer 2 has now become the third-highest-grossing Indian film of the year. The film has outperformed the total collections of two big hits – Border 2 ( Rs 464 crore) and Hanuman Ansh ( Rs 439 crore). The film only trails Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar 2, which has grossed Rs 1,813.39 crore worldwide, and Ajay Devgn’s Drishyam 3, whose reported worldwide gross stands at Rs 556.22 crore. Surpassing Dhurandhar 2 is way beyond Jailer 2’s reach, but the film could beat Drishyam 3 before it enters its second week.
