Dhurandhar 2 Advance Booking Surge: Major Indian Cities Face Capacity Pressure As North America Premiere Sales Cross $1 Million

Advance bookings for Dhurandhar: The Revenge are witnessing an extraordinary response across key markets in India and overseas. The sequel has generated strong momentum even before release, with several exhibition circuits reportedly struggling to keep up with the growing demand for tickets.

According to a report by Bollywood Hungama, major metropolitan cities such as Mumbai, Hyderabad, and Bengaluru are already experiencing high occupancy levels days before the premiere shows.

High Occupancy in Major Indian Markets

Trade estimates indicate that ticket sales in several cities have already reached impressive levels in the early phase of advance booking.

Current trends suggest:

• Mumbai: Nearly 50% of tickets sold for the initial phase
• Hyderabad: Around 75% pre-sales recorded
• Bengaluru: Approximately 60% advance occupancy

The rising demand has led audiences to request exhibitors to open additional shows and weekend bookings earlier than planned so they can secure seats in advance.

Industry observers say the current trend reflects strong pre-release excitement among audiences.

Comparisons With Baahubali 2

Trade experts are already comparing the scale of anticipation for the film with the pre-release buzz seen during Baahubali 2: The Conclusion.

Although the booking cycle is still ongoing, the speed at which tickets are being sold suggests that Dhurandhar 2 could open with one of the biggest box office starts for an Indian film in recent years.

All-India Advance Booking Crosses ₹27 Crore

As per the latest trade data, the film’s All-India advance booking gross has crossed ₹27.34 crore.

When block bookings are included, the total reportedly climbs to ₹32.09 crore, indicating strong nationwide interest ahead of the film’s release.

In Hyderabad, the demand is particularly strong. Reports suggest that 50–60% of tickets at the newly opened Allu Cinemas have already been blocked for Dhurandhar 2 to accommodate industry demand.

Strong Momentum in North America

The film is also seeing strong response in overseas markets. According to box office tracker Venky Box Office, premiere advance sales in the United States have already crossed $1.07 million.

The data reportedly includes:

• 690 locations
• 1,765 shows
• More than 67,000 tickets sold

The tracker estimates that North America premiere advances have already reached around $1.31 million.

If the current trend continues, projections suggest that:

• Premiere advance bookings could reach around $2 million
• The opening weekend advance could approach $4 million

More Shows Expected to Be Added

Due to the massive demand for preview shows, several markets are currently facing limited ticket availability. As a result, advance bookings for the rest of the opening weekend are expected to open soon.

Trade analysts will now closely monitor how the film performs once full-scale advance bookings for opening day and the weekend begin, which could further boost its pre-release numbers.

With such strong booking trends in both India and North America, Dhurandhar: The Revenge appears set for a massive global opening at the box office.
