Tuesday, March 10, 2026: While the official release of Dhurandhar: The Revenge is still a week away, the Indian film industry is already bracing for a box office earthquake. Aditya Dhar’s follow-up to his 2025 blockbuster has initiated a massive “Paid Preview” rollout on March 18, and the early numbers are nothing short of historic.
Data reveals that the film has already moved nearly 300,000 tickets across India, translating to a domestic gross exceeding ₹15 crore. With a week of momentum still to go, trade analysts are betting that Dhurandhar 2 will eclipse the pan-India premiere record of ₹25 crore—a feat currently held by the South Indian titan OG.
Dhurandhar 2 sets A New Benchmark for Ticket Pricing
The demand is so high that theaters are testing the limits of consumer spending. In South Mumbai, recliners are commanding a premium of ₹3,100, yet they remain the first to sell out.
| Language/Format | Avg. Ticket Price | Trend |
| Hindi (Standard) | ₹418 | 2x Higher than Regular |
| Dolby Cine | ₹759 | Near Sell-out in Metros |
| Kannada Dub | ₹445 | Strong Regional Push |
| Tamil Dub | ₹166 | Capped by State Laws |
Why the Hype is Real for Dhurandhar 2
Directed by the visionary behind Uri, the sequel expands the “Dhurandhar” universe significantly. Ranveer Singh returns as Jaskirat Singh Rangi (alias Hamza), the undercover agent who has now embedded himself deep within the Karachi underworld.
The stakes are higher this time as the story pivots to a mission of vengeance for the 26/11 attacks. The ensemble cast adds to the gravity, featuring Arjun Rampal as the shadowy Major Iqbal and Sanjay Dutt as a gritty police officer. Following Part 1’s massive ₹1,300 crore global run, the sequel is no longer just a movie, it’s a financial juggernaut.
