Box Office Storm: Dhurandhar 2 Set for Record Opening

New Delhi, March 10, 2026: The fever for Aditya Dhar’s spy thriller Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has officially reached a boiling point. As advance bookings open for the much-anticipated sequel, ticket prices in major metros have skyrocketed to unprecedented levels, yet fans are undeterred, with shows selling out within minutes of going live.

In Mumbai’s premium multiplexes, particularly the INOX Megaplex at Sky City Mall, Borivali, tickets for the “Recliner Prime” category have touched a staggering ₹3,100. Similarly, in Delhi-NCR, luxury seats at PVR Select City Walk are being snatched up at ₹2,400. Despite these eye-watering prices, the demand for the paid previews scheduled for March 18—a day before the official release—is so high that many prime-time slots are already “housefull.”

A Box Office Juggernaut in the Making

The sequel, starring Ranveer Singh as the elite Indian spy Jaskirat Singh Rangi (undercover as Hamza Ali Mazari), is riding on the massive success of its predecessor. Trade analysts are predicting a record-breaking start that could dwarf recent blockbusters.

• Advance Sales: The film has already sold over 3 lakh tickets for its paid previews alone, generating an estimated ₹21 crore (including block bookings).
• The “Stree 2” Record: Dhurandhar 2 has already comfortably surpassed the paid preview record previously held by Stree 2 (₹10 crore gross).
• Pan-India Appeal: Unlike the first installment, the sequel is a true pan-India release, dubbed in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam.

Ticket Pricing Breakdown

While the luxury segment is grabbing headlines, the makers have maintained a wide pricing spectrum to ensure accessibility across different markets.

Why the Hype is Real

The trailer, which dropped on March 7, has intensified the buzz by showcasing Ranveer Singh’s character taking control of Karachi’s Lyari district as the new “Badshah.” The film also features a powerhouse cast including Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, and Arjun Rampal, who plays the antagonist, Major Iqbal.

With no major competition following the postponement of Yash’s Toxic, Dhurandhar 2 is perfectly positioned to dominate the box office during the festive window of Gudi Padwa, Ugadi, and Eid. Trade experts like Taran Adarsh and Joginder Tuteja suggest the film is selling tickets at a rate of nearly 7,500 per hour on platforms like BookMyShow, putting it on track for a potential ₹100 crore opening day (including previews).
