This steady climb indicates strong audience intent and heightened anticipation, especially for the first-day-first-show crowd.
Metros and Premium Formats Continue to Dominate
The film’s largest traction is coming from:
- Mumbai & Delhi-NCR – IMAX, 4DX, and premium large-format screens seeing rapid fill rates
- Bengaluru – Once again among the strongest contributors
- Chennai & Hyderabad – Posting strong PLF metrics, reflecting Ranveer Singh’s pan-India pull
- Tier-2 markets such as Pune, Lucknow, Jaipur, Kochi, and Coimbatore showing healthy late-morning movement
The widening demand across circuits signals broad appeal beyond core metros.
The buzz around Dhurandhar has intensified thanks to a potent mix of scale, story and star power. Ranveer Singh anchors the film in a hard-edged, intense lead role alongside a powerhouse ensemble that includes R. Madhavan, Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, Arjun Rampal and promising young actor Sara Arjun a cast lineup that’s fueling widespread anticipation.
Narratively, the film leans into high-stakes intelligence drama and cross-border operations rooted in events that evoke the post-IC-814 and early-2000s covert ops era giving it both emotional weight and thriller momentum. The trailer’s portrayal of an undercover mission, infiltration and espionage has amplified expectations for a gritty, large-scale spy saga.
Beyond cast and concept, Aditya Dhar’s involvement (after the success of Uri) and the film’s premium-format appeal (IMAX/PLF) have encouraged urban audiences to book early, while social chatter and fan campaigns have sustained the pre-release heat. Industry coverage and cast reveals at promotional events including the discovery and casting of Sara Arjun after extensive auditions have only added to the momentum.
Opening Day Outlook Strengthens Further
With 31,000 tickets sold by noon, Dhurandhar now stands firmly on track for a good opening day, potentially surpassing initial projections if afternoon and evening bookings continue to expand at the current velocity.
Trade analysts suggest that the film is positioned to emerge as one of the strongest openers of the year among non-holiday releases, especially with on-the-day footfalls expected to be high.
