Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has achieved a massive milestone even before its theatrical release, becoming the all-time number one film in advance bookings on BookMyShow. The Ranveer Singh starrer has sold an incredible 14.81 lakh tickets on the platform as of March 18, exactly 24 hours before release. This record-breaking number officially puts the film ahead of every major blockbuster in terms of pre-sales.
Directed by Aditya Dhar, the espionage thriller has generated tremendous buzz nationwide, which is clearly reflected in its extraordinary booking performance. The film features a strong ensemble cast, including Sanjay Dutt and R. Madhavan, further boosting audience anticipation.
Dhurandhar 2 vs Jawan and Other Blockbusters
When comparing advance bookings exactly 24 hours before release, Dhurandhar 2 stands firmly at the top. It has surpassed the previous record held by Jawan, which had sold 11.02 lakh tickets in the same timeframe.
Other major films also recorded impressive numbers but remain behind:
- Animal sold 7.24 lakh tickets
- Tiger 3 recorded 4.73 lakh tickets
- Chhaava reached 4.69 lakh tickets
These figures highlight the unprecedented demand for Dhurandhar 2, making it the biggest pre-release performer in recent Indian cinema history.
Previous Booking Trends of Top Films
Jawan had earlier set benchmarks with its rapid booking pace, including selling over 20,000 tickets in just one hour during peak demand. Animal also made headlines by selling more than 80,000 tickets within sixty minutes, marking one of the fastest booking rates ever.
Tiger 3 showed strong momentum in national multiplex chains such as PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis, crossing over 1 lakh ticket sales in these circuits before release. Meanwhile, Chhaava proved to be a long-term blockbuster, eventually crossing 12 million total ticket sales during its full run on the platform.
What This Means for Dhurandhar 2 Box Office
The massive advance booking numbers indicate that Dhurandhar 2 is heading towards a record-breaking opening at the box office. By crossing 14 lakh tickets on a single platform before release, the film has already outperformed the pre-sales of most post-pandemic blockbusters.
With over 17,000 shows scheduled across India in multiple languages, the film is expected to dominate both multiplexes and single screens. Early trends suggest strong occupancy across regions, pointing toward a historic Day 1 collection.
