Dhurandhar 2 Final Opening Day Advance: 8.75 Lakh Tickets Sold; Ranveer Singh & Aditya Dhar Rewrite History, Crush Pathaan & Jawan
Dhurandhar: The Revenge has officially rewritten the rules of advance booking in Hindi cinema. The Ranveer Singh and Aditya Dhar film has closed its opening day pre-sales at a historic 8.75 lakh tickets in top national chains PVR INOX and Cinepolis, including paid previews — the highest ever for a Bollywood film.
The film began its paid preview shows at 5 PM, and by the time the first show rolled, the numbers had already entered record territory, comfortably surpassing previous benchmarks set by Pathaan, Jawan, and Stree 2.
Paid Preview vs Day 1 Advance (National Chains Breakdown)
To understand the scale clearly, here’s the split between paid previews and Day 1:
- Paid Previews (Wednesday | Till 5 PM): ~4.17 lakh tickets
- Opening Day (Thursday | Advance): ~4.68 lakh tickets
- Total (Top National Chains): 8.75 lakh tickets
The film also had strong traction in dubbed versions, pushing total sales beyond 9 lakh tickets, but a portion of those shows were cancelled due to censor-related delays, especially in regional markets.
All-Time Record in National Chains (Hindi Films)
With these numbers, Dhurandhar: The Revenge stands tall as the highest advance ticket seller in national chains for a Hindi film, beating:
- Pathaan - 5.45 lakh
- Jawan - 5.32 lakh
- Stree 2 - 4.40 lakh (incl. previews)
- Animal - 4.28 lakh
- War - 4.10 lakh
This is not just a record it’s a massive leap ahead of the competition.
Box Office Trajectory: Massive Opening Incoming
As of 5 PM, the film’s paid previews are already hovering around the ₹34 crore nett mark, with expectations to push closer to ₹40 crore by end of day, aided by strong spot bookings and show adjustments in Hindi across South markets.
For Day 1 (Thursday), early trends indicate a finish in the ₹30 crore range, with potential upside depending on evening and night occupancy.
With such unprecedented momentum, Dhurandhar: The Revenge is now firmly on course for a record-breaking opening day, with industry eyes set on the ₹100+ crore nett mark.
This isn’t just a strong opening this is a historic box office event unfolding in real time.
