Ranveer Singh’s upcoming action thriller Dhurandhar: The Revenge appears to be gearing up for a blockbuster opening even before its official release. Following the buzz generated by its powerful trailer, the film has started its advance ticket sales on a remarkable note. Early box office reports suggest the sequel has already achieved impressive numbers both in India and overseas, with more than a week still left before its theatrical debut.

Strong Momentum In North America

International markets have shown particularly strong enthusiasm for the film. Advance sales in North America began earlier than in India, and the response has been impressive.

Reports indicate that premiere advance bookings in the United States alone have crossed USD 618,911 (approx Rs 5.71 cr) across 557 locations and 1,034 shows. So far, 38,545 tickets have been sold, even though the film is still days away from release.

Overall advance collections in the region have reached around USD 890,000 (approx Rs 8.21 cr), while the film’s first weekend bookings have already climbed to approximately USD 1.70 million, bringing it close to the USD 2 million milestone.

Among the top-performing states, Texas leads with USD 121,469, (approx Rs 1.12 cr) followed by California with USD 98,146 (approx Rs 90.6 lakh), New Jersey with USD 50,534 (approx Rs 46.6 lakh), New York with USD 41,796 (approx Rs 38.6 lakh), and Washington with USD 35,012 (approx Rs 32.3 lakh).

Advance Booking Surge In India

Back home, the film has also recorded strong pre-release figures. According to trade reports, Dhurandhar: The Revenge has already generated Rs 12.29 crore in advance sales across all languages.

When blocked seats are included, the estimated total reportedly climbs to around Rs 18.1 crore.

The Hindi version dominates the collections, contributing approximately Rs 12.07 crore from the total. Unlike the first instalment, which was released only in Hindi, the sequel will arrive in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam as well.

Paid Preview Shows Drive Early Craze

Paid preview screenings scheduled for 18 March appear to be a major draw for audiences. The film has reportedly sold over 2 lakh tickets nationwide, with 2,06,061 tickets booked across 7,510 shows.

Within the first 24 hours of booking, the film had already sold over 87,000 tickets on BookMyShow, reflecting strong early demand.

Breaking Early Records

Early reports suggest that the sequel has already surpassed the benchmark set by Stree 2, which earned roughly Rs 10 crore gross from preview shows.

Dhurandhar: The Revenge reportedly crossed this milestone within just 24 hours, indicating an exceptionally strong start.

Interestingly, the preview-day advance collections have also exceeded the opening-day figures of several recent Hindi films, including Shahid Kapoor’s O Romeo and Tiger Shroff’s Baaghi 4.

About The Film

Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar: The Revenge continues the story of Ranveer Singh’s character Hamza, also known as Jaskirat, an Indian spy operating in Karachi. The sequel explores his past while following his mission of revenge against the gangs of Lyari linked to the 26/11 terror attacks.

The film features an ensemble cast including Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Akshaye Khanna, Arjun Rampal, Rakesh Bedi, Sara Arjun and Yami Gautam.

Dhurandhar: The Revenge is scheduled to release in cinemas on 19 March, coinciding with the festive period of Eid, Gudi Padwa and Ugadi, which could further boost its box office prospects.
