Dhurandhar 2 Advance Booking Live: With its full theatrical release just hours away, Dhurandhar: The Revenge is already generating unprecedented buzz at the box office. Early reports indicate that paid previews on the evening of March 18 have drawn massive audiences, with trade estimates suggesting earnings of around Rs 42.70 crore from preview sales, including block bookings, as per Sacnilk. The film is expected to open far bigger than initially anticipated when it officially releases on March 19.The film has reportedly crossed Rs 29 crore on day one, selling more than 6.7 lakh tickets across over 15,000 shows nationwide. Analysts are predicting a strong weekend total exceeding Rs 135 crore, even before the full release settles in. The excitement surrounding the film, fueled by teasers and trailers, has translated directly into robust ticket sales.Ticket Pricing and Global Advance BookingsIn major cities like Delhi-NCR, preview ticket prices have ranged from Rs 300 to Rs 2400, marking it as a premium early-access release. Despite high prices, theatre occupancy has remained high, prompting several cinemas to add additional shows, including late-night and early-morning screenings. Reports also suggest that global advance bookings alone have already pushed earnings past Rs 100 crore, making it one of the strongest pre-release performers in recent Hindi cinema.Darker Storyline and High-Stakes ActionDirected by Aditya Dhar, the sequel follows Indian spy Jaskirat Singh Rangi, played by Ranveer Singh, as he goes undercover in Pakistan’s Lyari under the alias Hamza Ali Mazari. The story escalates as he navigates gang conflicts and power struggles, eventually emerging as the ‘King of Lyari’ after the death of a key underworld figure. The darker tone and larger scale of the narrative are seen as standout features of the film.Alongside Ranveer Singh, the film features Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Sara Arjun, and others, with a reported cameo by Yami Gautam. Produced by Jio Studios and B62 Studios, with cinematography by Vikash Nowlakha and music by Shashwat Sachdev, the film is crafted as a large-scale action spectacle. The CBFC suggested edits to intense violence sequences, trimming around 24 seconds from graphic scenes, but the film still received an ‘A’ certificate. Its final runtime in India stands at 3 hours, 49 minutes, slightly shorter than the overseas cut.
