As the excitement builds around the release of Dhurandhar 2, the film has already made a significant mark at the box office. Just before its much-anticipated premiere on March 19, 2026, the film was generating buzz with its impressive advance ticket sales.
On its opening day, Dhurandhar 2 sold tickets worth an astonishing Rs. 70 crore, which includes earnings from paid previews. This figure is expected to rise as projections indicate that the film could earn over Rs. 100 crore in total on its opening day across India.
The paid previews alone are tracking to hit Rs. 45 crore, showcasing the film’s strong pre-release demand. Notably, Dhurandhar 2 achieved a remarkable milestone by earning ₹75 crore from paid previews worldwide, setting a new standard for Indian cinema.
In a groundbreaking move, the film had the widest paid preview screening for an Indian film, with 9,000 shows across 6,000 screens in India. This extensive reach has contributed significantly to its box office success.
Moreover, the film has also made waves internationally, earning $2.5 million during its premiere overseas. Such figures highlight the film’s global appeal and the anticipation surrounding it.
Before its release, Dhurandhar 2 had already crossed the 200 crore mark in advance booking collections, indicating a strong fanbase eager to support the film. This level of enthusiasm is a testament to the film’s star power, particularly that of lead actor Ranveer Singh, who is set to have his 8th highest-grossing film based on these advance sales.
The original Dhurandhar film, which earned ₹1300 crore worldwide, continues to resonate with audiences, still playing in theaters three months after its December release. This legacy undoubtedly adds to the expectations for the sequel.
As the numbers continue to roll in, it is clear that Dhurandhar 2 is not just a film; it is a community event that brings fans together to celebrate cinema. The excitement surrounding its release is palpable, and the implications for those involved in its production are significant.
With the current state of the box office collection, Dhurandhar 2 is poised to make a lasting impact on the Indian film industry, setting new records and inspiring future filmmakers.
