Dhurandhar 2 Paid Preview Collections: Aditya Dhar and Ranveer Singh Make History

“Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge” has officially rewritten the rules of box office openings in India with its paid preview shows. Directed by Aditya Dhar and starring Ranveer Singh, the film has set an all-time record by raking in an astonishing ₹43-44 crore net from these early screenings — comfortably surpassing the previous high set by Pawan Kalyan’s “They Call Him OG” (₹21 crore net).

From the moment the first show rolled, it was clear that audiences across the country were ready to celebrate the return of this spy-action extravaganza. Even with a few cancellations due to delayed content delivery, the majority of shows reported packed houses, reflecting the massive anticipation for the film. These paid previews, held a day before the official Thursday release, not only thrilled fans but also gave the film an unstoppable head start, setting the tone for what promises to be a historic opening.

The advance bookings alone were a strong indicator of the frenzy, with nearly ₹35 crore net already secured before the first preview show. With ticket sales continuing to surge, the film is poised to smash records on its official opening day, potentially surpassing ₹85 crore in a single day and targeting a staggering ₹350- 400 crore over its opening weekend.

The enthusiasm is especially high in the southern states, where cities like Mysore are expected to cross ₹5 crore net and Nizam/Andhra around ₹4 crore net. Overall, the South is contributing nearly 12-13 crore net, highlighting the pan-India appeal of the franchise. Meanwhile, Hindi mass belts saw slightly lower numbers in previews, but this is only a minor factor, as the real surge is set to unfold over the next four days.

Critics and audiences alike are praising Aditya Dhar for delivering a larger-than-life sequel that’s packed with entertainment, action, and intrigue. Fans are not just watching it once — repeat shows are already on the cards, making this paid preview frenzy only the beginning of a box office demolition like India has rarely seen.

In short, Dhurandhar 2 isn’t just breaking records; it’s rewriting the entire playbook for Indian cinema openings. With momentum this strong, it’s only a matter of time before this spy thriller smashes every benchmark set before it.
