Ranveer Singh’s action sequel builds massive buzz before its theatrical debut on March 19.
The much-awaited action sequel Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has already made headlines even before its theatrical release. Starring Ranveer Singh in the lead role, the film has reportedly crossed the ₹100 crore mark in advance bookings and pre-sales just two days ahead of its release.
Directed by Aditya Dhar, the highly anticipated spy action thriller is scheduled to hit theatres on March 19, with paid preview shows beginning on March 18. With strong ticket sales both in India and overseas, the film is already shaping up to be one of the biggest Bollywood openings of the year.
Strong Advance Booking Numbers
According to early trade reports by Sacnilk, the film has witnessed massive response from audiences during advance bookings. The paid preview shows alone have reportedly generated ₹37.11 crore through advance ticket sales.
For its official opening day on March 19, the film has already sold over 6.1 lakh tickets across more than 10,000 shows nationwide. The advance booking revenue for Day 1 currently stands at around ₹22.70 crore, reflecting strong anticipation among moviegoers.
In addition to the domestic figures, overseas markets have also shown strong interest in the film. Reports suggest that international pre-sales for the opening weekend have already reached nearly ₹60 crore.
When combined, the total earnings for the opening window — including paid previews, opening day advance bookings, and overseas sales — have reached an impressive ₹119.81 crore, including block seats. This milestone means the film has effectively crossed the ₹100 crore mark even before audiences step into theatres.
Sequel to a Blockbuster
The sequel continues the story from the dramatic cliffhanger ending of the original Dhurandhar, which broke several box office records after its release. The first film gained a strong fan following for its intense action sequences, gripping storyline, and powerful performances.
In the sequel, Ranveer Singh returns as Hamza Ali Mazari, a character whose journey takes a darker and more intense turn. The story follows Mazari’s rise in the crime-ridden town of Lyari as he embarks on a relentless mission driven by revenge.
The narrative focuses on his pursuit of Major Iqbal, setting the stage for a high-stakes confrontation filled with espionage, violence and emotional conflict.
Ranveer Singh’s Darker Avatar
The recently released trailer of the film has generated massive buzz among fans. The three-minute-and-25-second clip offers a glimpse of Ranveer Singh in a far more ruthless and intense avatar compared to the first film.
His character is shown navigating the dangerous underworld of Lyari, taking control of the region after the death of crime boss Rehman Dakait, portrayed by Akshaye Khanna.
The trailer highlights intense action sequences, dramatic confrontations, and a powerful background score that amplifies the film’s tense atmosphere. Ranveer’s transformation into a darker version of Hamza Ali Mazari has already become one of the film’s biggest talking points.
Multi-Language Release
To reach a wider audience, the makers have planned a large-scale multi-language release. The film will be screened in Hindi, Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada, expanding its reach across different regions of India.
With such a wide release strategy and strong advance booking numbers, industry analysts expect the film to register one of the biggest openings for a Bollywood film this year.
High Expectations from Fans
The success of the first film has created enormous expectations around the sequel. Fans are eager to see how the story unfolds and whether the sequel can surpass the achievements of its predecessor.
With impressive pre-release earnings, a star-studded cast, and a gripping storyline, Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge is already positioned as one of the most anticipated films of the year.
If the current momentum continues, the Ranveer Singh starrer could deliver a blockbuster opening at the box office and potentially set new records in Indian cinema.
