Dhurandhar 2, starring Ranveer Singh, has finally hit theatres and the film has opened to a phenomenal response across India. After registering massive advance bookings, the spy-action entertainer has lived up to expectations by pulling huge crowds on its opening day.
The film was already among the most anticipated Indian releases in recent times, and the excitement is clearly visible at the box office. With one of the widest releases ever, Dhurandhar 2 has ensured strong occupancy in both multiplexes and single screens. The presence of a holiday in key states like Maharashtra and Karnataka on March 19 has further boosted its day 1 performance.
Strong Advance Booking Hints At Massive Day 1
Even before its release, Dhurandhar 2 set the tone by collecting over ₹50 crore in advance bookings (excluding paid previews) at the Indian box office. This massive pre-sales figure indicated a blockbuster opening right from the start.
Apart from advance bookings, spot bookings at ticket counters have also remained strong throughout the day. The film’s buzz, combined with positive word of mouth and festive advantage, has helped it maintain a steady flow of audiences in theatres.

Dhurandhar 2 has now achieved a major milestone on the ticketing platform BookMyShow. According to official data, the film sold an astonishing 109K tickets in just one hour, setting a new all-time record.
This achievement makes it the highest number of tickets sold in a single hour on the platform, surpassing the previous record held by Pushpa 2, which sold 107.6K tickets in an hour. The record-breaking number highlights the extraordinary craze surrounding the film among moviegoers.
