Ranveer Singh is charging into the box office conversation days before release, and the early signs are loud and clear. Dhurandhar: The Revenge has crossed the 1.25 lakh ticket mark for its opening day at India’s biggest national multiplex chains, turning advance booking into a headline-making event and underlining just how massive the appetite is for the sequel on the big screen.
The pace is especially striking because the film’s paid previews have already been selling at a breakneck speed. Even with a substantial chunk of business being driven by preview shows, the opening-day trend at the top chains has still managed to break through a major benchmark within hours, a feat that only a handful of Hindi films have managed in the past.
Opening-Day Advances Surge At National Multiplex Chains
As of the latest update, Dhurandhar: The Revenge sold over 1 lakh tickets for its opening day in under ten hours at the national chains, with the momentum strong across PVRINOX and Cinepolis. The title now joins a very small list of Bollywood films that have crossed 1 lakh tickets at national chains within the first 24 hours of sales, alongside Pathaan and Jawan.
Dhurandhar: The Revenge has already sold over 3 lakh tickets for previews till this morning in these chains, being on sale for seven days.
What makes the number even more telling is that the film has also been posting hefty sales for paid previews, which are scheduled a day before the official theatrical release. With previews already soaking up significant demand, the early opening-day count signals that the film is not just riding hype, but pulling in audiences across multiple show formats.
Trade chatter around advance trends often treats national chain performance as a key indicator because it captures demand in premium urban centres and high-capacity multiplex properties. With Dhurandhar: The Revenge already clearing a lakh tickets quickly, the film has positioned itself for an opening weekend driven by scale, premium formats, and high-frequency showings.
