Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar: The Revenge is generating massive pre-release buzz, with over 4 lakh tickets sold for paid previews and more than a million advance bookings across languages.
Exhibitors project Rs 45–50 crore from Wednesday previews and Rs 35–40 crore on opening day in Hindi alone.
The film, releasing March 19, stars Ranveer Singh as Jaskirat Singh Rangi, who becomes covert operative Hamza Ali Mazari, tracing his rise in the Karachi underworld.
Demand is strong in metros and Tier-II cities, prompting post-midnight and early-morning shows in Mumbai, Pune, and Ahmedabad. Iconic Maratha Mandir theatre adjusted its schedule for multiple screenings.
Analysts compare the hype to historic releases like Shahenshah and Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge.
Trade experts predict the sequel could surpass its predecessor’s records and enter the Rs 1,000 crore club, with audiences eager for its music, action, and star-studded cast. (PTI)
