‘Dhurandhar’ Advance Booking Smashes ₹2 Crore

New Delhi, December 1, 2025: Ranveer Singh’s highly anticipated action-thriller, ‘Dhurandhar,’ is creating a massive stir even before its December 5th release. The film, directed by Aditya Dhar, has seen a powerful opening in its advance bookings, signaling a strong start at the box office.

Phenomenal Early Booking Collection

Despite a quiet, gradual rollout of advance bookings across select PVR-INOX properties in major cities, the initial numbers are exceptional.

• The film has sold over 12,000 tickets for its opening day across approximately 2,313 shows nationwide.
• The gross collection from these ticket sales currently stands at over ₹60 lakh (excluding blocked seats).
• When including blocked seats, the total advance booking gross collection has soared past the ₹2 crore mark, a testament to the audience’s excitement for Ranveer Singh’s return to the big screen in a high-octane spy avatar.

In terms of regional response, the National Capital Region (NCR), followed closely by Maharashtra and Gujarat, are leading the charge in collections, with several shows in Delhi and Madhya Pradesh already marked as ‘filling fast.’

The Most Expensive Ticket Price Revealed

One of the most talked-about aspects of the booking buzz is the cost of premium seating. The most expensive ticket for Dhurandhar has been listed at a staggering ₹2,020.

• This ultra-premium ticket is for a show at the Maison INOX, Jio World Plaza in BKC, Mumbai, and includes a platform convenience fee of ₹70.
• Crucially, this high price covers only one person’s entry and does not include any food, beverages, or special perks. This highlights the growing trend of luxury cinema experiences driving up ticket prices for big-budget films.

More Than Just Action: Runtime and Ensemble Cast

Dhurandhar is shaping up to be one of Bollywood’s biggest spectacles, featuring a star-studded ensemble cast that includes Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Akshaye Khanna, Arjun Rampal, and Sara Arjun alongside Ranveer Singh.

Adding to the grand scale of the project is its ambitious runtime. At a lengthy 3 hours and 32 minutes, it is one of the longest Hindi films in recent memory. The movie is billed as an action-packed spy drama, reportedly based on true events, that focuses on a fearless Indian intelligence agent’s Black Ops mission in Pakistan’s crime-ridden Lyari region.

While the advance booking is surging, the film has also been in the news due to some legal scrutiny. Director Aditya Dhar, however, has issued a clarification stating that the film is not based on the life of Major Mohit Sharma, addressing earlier speculation. Furthermore, reports suggest the film is planned as a two-part series, adding to the anticipation of an expansive narrative.

With the advance booking window now fully open, all eyes are on Dhurandhar to see if it can translate this thunderous start into a record-breaking opening weekend.
