Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar is heading to cinemas this Friday, but the early box office trend is not matching the buzz around his first solo release in more than two years. Even with a wide release and no big competition besides Tere Ishq Mein, the spy action film is yet to see a real jump in pre-release demand.
Dhurandhar Struggles In Advance Sales
The film’s advance booking is moving slowly across most major cities. As of midnight on 3 December, Dhurandhar has earned sold 1.20 lac ticket sales in advance booking in national chains.
Film is set to open around 17 – 18 crore net on day one and walk ins might take it to 20 crore net number which will be still poor.

Ranveer’s box office history sets high expectations
The film’s performance is being watched closely because this is Ranveer’s return to a solo-led commercial film. His previous hits set an ambitious benchmark. Padmaavat opened at 19 crore and ended with a massive 585 crore worldwide. Simmba began at 20.72 crore and finished with 390 crore globally. Even Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, though not an action film, started with 11.10 crore and reached 357.5 crore worldwide.
With such a track record, fans expected Dhurandhar to explode in advance bookings but it didn’t happen. Instead, the film now faces the pressure of proving itself when the first public shows begin.
With only a day left, the film’s opening now depends on whether audiences turn up at the last minute. Dhurandhar’s box office journey may rely entirely on word of mouth from the first screenings.
