Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge is already rewriting box office history even before its theatrical release, with massive advance booking numbers across both premiere shows and opening day.
With paid premieres scheduled for March 18 and the official release on March 19, the film has now crossed a staggering Rs. 130+ crore in combined pre-sales globally (including block seats), making it one of the biggest pre-release performers in Indian cinema
.Premiere shows (March 18): Rs. 40.54 crore
The paid premiere shows, a day before release, have generated extraordinary traction across India.
- The film has recorded Rs. 40.54 crore gross in advance bookings for previews
- This places Dhurandhar 2 among the highest-ever premiere advance bookings in Indian cinema
The scale of these numbers signals not just strong fan anticipation but also aggressive screen allocation and premium format demand.
Opening day (March 19): Rs. 29.02 crore and counting
Advance booking for Day 1 (official release day) is equally impressive:
- The film has already crossed Rs. 29.02 crore in advance sales
- Over 4.70 lakh tickets have been sold across 15,000+ shows nationwide
With spot bookings yet to begin in full swing, these figures indicate a potentially record-breaking opening day at the box office. Several very early morning shows, at 2:30 am and 5 am have also been added in major cities like Mumbai.
Overseas surge: Rs. 60 crore weekend pre-sales
The film’s global appeal is also evident in its strong overseas performance:
- Weekend pre-sales stand at approximately Rs. 60 crore internationally
- Key markets such as North America, United Kingdom, and Australia are driving demand
This overseas momentum has played a crucial role in pushing the film past the Rs. 130 crore milestone.
Combined pre-sales: Rs. 130+ crore milestone
The combined total for the opening window, including premiere + Day 1 + overseas bookings, now stands at Rs. 130+ crore (with block seats included).
This places Dhurandhar 2 firmly among the biggest advance booking performers of all time, putting it in direct competition with benchmark blockbusters in the Indian market.
A historic opening on the cards?
With unprecedented advance sales and strong trends across territories, Dhurandhar 2 is now eyeing:
- One of the biggest opening days in Hindi cinema history
- Potential entry into the all-time top opening records
- A massive opening weekend haul globally, if momentum sustains
The film’s performance can be attributed to a combination of franchise recall, star power, and a well-planned premiere strategy.
The big picture
From Rs. 40.54 crore in premiere bookings to Rs. 130+ crore in total pre-sales, Dhurandhar 2 has already delivered a blockbuster performance before its release.
All eyes are now on March 19, because if current trends translate into footfalls, the film could mark one of Bollywood’s biggest box office openings in recent years.
