The advance booking for Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge is setting the box office on fire even before its release. Starring Ranveer Singh and directed by Aditya Dhar, the much-awaited spy action drama has recorded phenomenal ticket sales across national chains.
As of 11 PM on March 16, the film sold around 2.30 lakh tickets in leading multiplex chains like PVRINOX and Cinepolis for the opening day alone. Including paid previews, the total ticket sales have already reached an impressive 5.60 lakh admissions. Trade estimates suggest that this number could touch 5.75 lakh by the next morning.
Strong Momentum Ahead of Release
With two more days remaining for previews, the film is expected to cross 4 lakh ticket sales for previews alone before Wednesday evening. Meanwhile, the final opening day advance booking is projected to land between 4 lakh to 5 lakh tickets, placing it among the biggest pre-sales ever for a Bollywood film in national chains.
Currently, Pathaan holds the record for the highest opening day pre-sales in national chains with over 5.45 lakh tickets. While Dhurandhar 2 may fall slightly short of that figure in pure Day 1 sales, it is likely to surpass it when preview numbers are included.
On a larger scale, the all-time record still belongs to Avengers: Endgame, which crossed the one million ticket mark in advance bookings, a benchmark that remains unmatched.
Massive Box Office Potential
Based on current trends, the preview collections of Dhurandhar 2 are expected to exceed Rs. 30 crore nett. With last-minute surges and strong walk-in bookings, the number could rise beyond Rs. 35 crore and may even approach Rs. 40 crore.
The film is also showing the potential to cross Rs. 100 crore nett in advance bookings across India before its official release, depending on how strong the final booking surge turns out to be.
Conclusion
With record-breaking advance sales and massive buzz, Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge is shaping up to be one of the biggest Bollywood openings in recent times. All eyes are now on how the film performs during its opening weekend, as it gears up for a potentially historic box office run.
