Dhurandhar:The Revenge Advance Booking Update:Can It Surpass OG's 25 Crore Paid Preview Record

The highly anticipated sequel, Dhurandhar: The Revenge (Dhurandhar 2), is generating significant momentum at the box office ahead of its release. With 10 days still remaining for the official premieres, the film's advance booking numbers suggest a massive opening is on the cards. The question now is whether the film can eclipse the current paid preview record of ₹25 crore held by OG. In the domestic market, Dhurandhar: The Revenge has already secured a gross of approximately ₹12.29 crore through advance bookings across all languages. When accounting for blocked seats, this figure rises to a robust ₹18.1 crore. The Hindi version is the primary driver of this growth, contributing over ₹12.07 crore to the total. While the South Indian markets—including Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam—are currently seeing lower numbers, expectations are high for a surge in bookings as the release date approaches. The film is also performing exceptionally well in international territories, specifically in the North American market. For the USA premieres alone, the film has already sold over 38,500 tickets across 557 locations, amassing a gross of $618,911 (approximately ₹5.15 crore). Combined with the domestic trends, the film is well-positioned to challenge historical benchmarks for paid previews.

Current projections indicate that Dhurandhar: The Revenge is aiming for a ₹35 crore+ gross on its paid preview day. Given the current trajectory—where the Hindi advance alone is nearing the halfway mark of the record and the USA premieres are showing strong occupancy—the film is expected to set a new benchmark in the industry. With over a week left for the release, the film's ability to maintain this pace will determine if it can match or exceed OG's record in a single language (Hindi) or if it will rely on its pan-India cumulative total to claim the top spot. Real-time updates on ticket sales suggest that the hype is translating into concrete numbers, making it one of the most anticipated box office events of the year.

Dhurandhar 2 Advance Booking: Can Ranveer Singh Challenge Avengers:Endgame and Jawan in the Top 5 All-Time List?

The Indian box office has entered a state of absolute mania. Following the high-octane trailer launch of Dhurandhar: The Revenge, the advance bookings have opened to a response that trade analysts are calling historic. With the film selling tickets worth Rs 4 crore in just 2 hours, the industry is now calculating if Aditya Dhar's directorial can break into the elite Top 5 list of highest advance bookings at national cinema chains (PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis). While this elite list has historically been the exclusive playground of global event films, the unprecedented velocity of Dhurandhar 2's advance sales suggests a total takeover is imminent. The benchmarks once set by Hollywood titans and Indian legends are no longer just distant targets—they are milestones that the Ranveer Singh-starrer is currently on track to effortlessly shatter as it marches toward an all-time record.

Endgame sold more than 15 lakh (1.5 million) tickets across India in total advance sales, with nearly 10 lakh coming from national chains alone. It eyed an opening of Rs 50+ crore and managed a staggering Rs 35+ crore from advance collections alone. Similarly, Spider-Man: No Way Home set a massive pace, selling more than 1.5 lakh tickets in INOX properties alone within a short window. In its first 24 hours, the big daddies—PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis—combined to sell more than 2.4 lakh tickets. This is the level of momentum Dhurandhar 2 is currently competing against. While the Hollywood giants had a massive head start, Dhurandhar 2 is trending on a different trajectory. It has already sold 35,000 tickets in national chains immediately after the trailer launch and is trending on BookMyShow with 7,500 to 10,000 tickets sold per hour. Analysts suggest that the film is comfortably on track to hit 1 lakh ticket sales in just 24 hours purely through organic demand, a feat that would put it on par with the early momentum of Jawan and Pathaan.

Dhurandhar 2: Will Ranveer Singh's Sher-e-Baloch anthem recreate the viral magic of Akshaye Khanna's FA9LA?

Following the viral success of Akshaye Khanna's Arabic-themed track FA9LA from the 2025 hit Dhurandhar, anticipation for the musical landscape of the sequel has been high. According to a recent report by Mid-day, filmmaker Aditya Dhar has already prepared a significant musical sequence for Dhurandhar: The Revenge, featuring leading man Ranveer Singh in a pivotal character moment. The Ascension of Hamza The upcoming track is set to mark a major narrative shift in the sequel. While Akshaye Khanna's character, Rehman Dakait, held the title of Sher-e-Baloch in the first installment, the sequel will witness Ranveer Singh's character, Hamza, ascending to the position. The song is designed as a celebration of Hamza being declared the new Sher-e-Baloch following the events of the first film. Interestingly, the report suggests that Aditya Dhar utilized a back-to-back filming schedule to maintain production efficiency. Both Khanna's FA9LA and Ranveer Singh's upcoming number were reportedly filmed on the same set in Ladakh. Given the grueling climatic conditions of the region, the production team opted to shoot the sequences just a day apart to avoid the logistical challenges of returning to the high-altitude location later. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   While Ranveer Singh is known for his high-energy dance performances, this particular number is expected to follow a different creative direction. Sources indicate that while the song is choreographed by Vijay Ganguly and features background dancers, Singh's character will remain true to his gritty persona. Unlike the flamboyant Rehman Dakait, Hamza is portrayed as a serious, quiet, and aggressive individual driven by a personal mission. Consequently, the sequence will focus on his presence during the celebration rather than a traditional shake a leg routine, ensuring the character's intensity remains intact. Dhurandhar: The Revenge continues the high-stakes narrative established in the first film, with Aditya Dhar aiming to balance commercial musical elements with the franchise's established grounded tone In addition to the musical buzz, the film is making significant waves at the international box office. According to Venky Box Office, Dhurandhar: The Revenge is witnessing a massive response in the USA. With 12 days still left until the premieres, the film has already collected $400,112 in premiere advance sales across 542 locations and 947 shows, with 24,676 tickets sold. The opening day advance bookings have already hit $565K, while the total advance sales for the first weekend have touched the $1 million mark, signaling a massive start for the Ranveer Singh-starrer in the North American market.

Dhurandhar: The Revenge Advance Booking To Open on March 7; New Ticket Pricing Category Expected for National Chains

Domestic advance bookings for the highly anticipated sequel Dhurandhar: The Revenge are scheduled to commence on March 7 across India. According to a report by Pinkvilla, ticket sales in national cinema chains and major multiplexes will go live immediately following the digital launch of the film's theatrical trailer. The film is set for a Pan-India release on March 19, 2026, coinciding with the Eid holidays. In anticipation of high consumer demand and the film's reported runtime of nearly four hours, national multiplex chains are expected to implement a revised ticket pricing structure. This new category, identified as Super Blockbuster Plus, is designed to account for the extended duration of the film, which naturally limits the number of daily shows per screen. Typically, major tentpole releases are categorized under Blockbuster or Super Blockbuster rates, which see a 10% to 25% premium over standard ticket prices. The introduction of the Super Blockbuster Plus rate suggests that Dhurandhar: The Revenge is being positioned as one of the largest theatrical events of the year. Ticket sales are expected to open based on a provisional censor certificate while the final certification process is completed. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   Given the anticipated volume of ticket sales, the film is expected to face capacity constraints across several major domestic regions during its opening weekend.Produced by Jio Studios in association with B62 Studios and T-Series, the film features Ranveer Singh in the lead and will be released in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam. This wide-scale release marks a significant expansion for the franchise, targeting a global and Pan-India audience simultaneously. The March 19 release window has seen a significant change following the rescheduling of Yash's highly anticipated film, Toxic. Originally slated to clash with Dhurandhar: The Revenge on the same date, the makers of Toxic have officially moved their release to June 4, 2026. This strategic postponement provides the Ranveer Singh-starrer with a clear theatrical window during the Eid 2026 holiday period. By avoiding this high-profile box office clash, Dhurandhar is now positioned to maximize its screen count and domestic collections across all major circuits.

She is also closely associated with the production house of her husband, director Aditya Dhar.

Dhurandhar: The Revenge Starring Ranveer Singh On a Rampage in North America; Shatters Part 1 USA Opening Day Records

Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar: The Revenge (Dhurandhar 2) is witnessing strong advance booking momentum in the overseas market. With exactly 14 days left for its grand theatrical release on March 19, 2026, the film is on a literal rampage in North America. Initial advance sales data indicates that the Ranveer Singh-starrer has already achieved a major milestone by surpassing the total opening day collections of its predecessor, Dhurandhar (Part 1), through advance bookings alone. According to tracking data from Venky Box Office , the film has already sold 14,399 tickets across 472 locations and 744 shows for its premiere night. The momentum is unprecedented for a solo release in this window, with the opening day (Day 1) advance alone crossing the $330K mark. This is a significant jump compared to Dhurandhar Part 1, which concluded its entire opening day in the USA with a gross of $317K. The most striking trend in this box office cycle is the massive contribution from the Telugu diaspora. While the film is a primary Hindi release, dominant Telugu-speaking centers in the US—such as Dallas, New Jersey, and the Bay Area—are reporting rapid sell-outs alongside traditional Hindi-dominant markets. This broad appeal has pushed the total premiere weekend advance sales to a staggering $565,000 with two full weeks of booking still remaining.
