Dhurandhar:The Revenge Advance Booking Update:Can It Surpass OG's 25 Crore Paid Preview Record

The highly anticipated sequel, Dhurandhar: The Revenge (Dhurandhar 2), is generating significant momentum at the box office ahead of its release. With 10 days still remaining for the official premieres, the film's advance booking numbers suggest a massive opening is on the cards. The question now is whether the film can eclipse the current paid preview record of ₹25 crore held by OG. In the domestic market, Dhurandhar: The Revenge has already secured a gross of approximately ₹12.29 crore through advance bookings across all languages. When accounting for blocked seats, this figure rises to a robust ₹18.1 crore. The Hindi version is the primary driver of this growth, contributing over ₹12.07 crore to the total. While the South Indian markets—including Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam—are currently seeing lower numbers, expectations are high for a surge in bookings as the release date approaches. The film is also performing exceptionally well in international territories, specifically in the North American market. For the USA premieres alone, the film has already sold over 38,500 tickets across 557 locations, amassing a gross of $618,911 (approximately ₹5.15 crore). Combined with the domestic trends, the film is well-positioned to challenge historical benchmarks for paid previews.

With over a week left for the release, the film's ability to maintain this pace will determine if it can match or exceed OG's record in a single language (Hindi) or if it will rely on its pan-India cumulative total to claim the top spot.

Dhurandhar 2 vs Toxic Box Office Clash: Yash Starrer To Get Double The Screens In Kerala

Kochi, March 3 - The March 19 box office clash in Kerala is turning out to be one of the most intense release battles of the year, with three major films arriving on the same day. According to trade buzz, Toxic and the local Malayalam sequel Aadu 3 are emerging as the biggest winners in terms of showcasing, while Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge faces a clear disadvantage in the state. As per reports, Toxic is set to get 300+ screens in Kerala, riding high on Yash's massive fan following post the KGF franchise. Meanwhile, Aadu 3 is also expected to release on 300+ screens, thanks to its strong franchise value and solid recall among the Malayalam audience. In contrast, Dhurandhar 2 is likely to get around 150 screens, giving it significantly lower visibility compared to its two rivals in the state. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The screen sharing clearly highlights the regional market dynamics in Kerala, where local content and proven South Indian stars often enjoy priority over Hindi releases. Toxic's aggressive rollout is being backed by strong distributor confidence, while Aadu 3 benefits from being a homegrown franchise with a loyal audience base. Together, the two films are expected to dominate prime shows across multiplexes and single screens during the opening weekend. For Dhurandhar 2, the limited screen count could pose a challenge despite its scale and pan-India appeal. The film will largely depend on positive word of mouth and audience spillover from other territories to sustain its run in Kerala. With all three films targeting different core audiences, the March 19 clash is set to offer a fascinating case study of how star power, regional preference, and screen economics shape box office outcomes in a competitive market like Kerala.

Dhurandhar 2 Advance Booking: Can Ranveer Singh Challenge Avengers:Endgame and Jawan in the Top 5 All-Time List?

The Indian box office has entered a state of absolute mania. Following the high-octane trailer launch of Dhurandhar: The Revenge, the advance bookings have opened to a response that trade analysts are calling historic. With the film selling tickets worth Rs 4 crore in just 2 hours, the industry is now calculating if Aditya Dhar's directorial can break into the elite Top 5 list of highest advance bookings at national cinema chains (PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis). While this elite list has historically been the exclusive playground of global event films, the unprecedented velocity of Dhurandhar 2's advance sales suggests a total takeover is imminent. The benchmarks once set by Hollywood titans and Indian legends are no longer just distant targets—they are milestones that the Ranveer Singh-starrer is currently on track to effortlessly shatter as it marches toward an all-time record. Top 5 Movies: Highest Advance Bookings at National Chains (Opening Day)MOVIE NAMETICKETS SOLD (PVR+INOX+CINE)STATUSAvengers: Endgame9,75,000All-Time RecordBaahubali 2 (Hindi)6,50,000Historic BlockbusterJawan5,57,000Bollywood RecordPathaan5,56,000BlockbusterSpider-Man: No Way Home5,50,000Record Opening (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   The benchmark for any Indian film remains Avengers: Endgame, which witnessed a craze never seen before in the country. Endgame sold more than 15 lakh (1.5 million) tickets across India in total advance sales, with nearly 10 lakh coming from national chains alone. It eyed an opening of Rs 50+ crore and managed a staggering Rs 35+ crore from advance collections alone. Similarly, Spider-Man: No Way Home set a massive pace, selling more than 1.5 lakh tickets in INOX properties alone within a short window. In its first 24 hours, the big daddies—PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis—combined to sell more than 2.4 lakh tickets. This is the level of momentum Dhurandhar 2 is currently competing against. While the Hollywood giants had a massive head start, Dhurandhar 2 is trending on a different trajectory. It has already sold 35,000 tickets in national chains immediately after the trailer launch and is trending on BookMyShow with 7,500 to 10,000 tickets sold per hour. Analysts suggest that the film is comfortably on track to hit 1 lakh ticket sales in just 24 hours purely through organic demand, a feat that would put it on par with the early momentum of Jawan and Pathaan.

Dhurandhar 2 Advance Booking: Ranveer Singh Starrer Creates History With Rs 4 Crore In 2 Hours; Trending On BMS With 7.5K Tickets Per Hour

The highly anticipated sequel, Dhurandhar: The Revenge, has triggered an unprecedented box office storm. Immediately following the trailer launch on Saturday morning, advance bookings for the film and its paid previews were opened to the public. In a historic feat, the film sold tickets worth Rs 4 crore nationwide in just under two hours. Of this total, Rs 2.50 crore was generated from the top three national chains (PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis), with nearly 35,000 tickets sold in those chains alone. Trade analysts, including Taran Adarsh, report that the film is currently on a rampage, trending on BookMyShow with over 7.5k to 10k tickets being sold every hour. Industry experts predict that Dhurandhar 2 is on track to become the first Indian film to organically cross 1 lakh ticket sales within its first 24 hours of booking, without the influence of corporate or fan-club blocks. This massive surge in demand has led national cinema chains to introduce a new premium pricing category called Super Blockbuster Plus, with ticket prices in high-end Delhi-NCR multiplexes reportedly reaching Rs 2500 for preview screenings. 'DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE' ADVANCE BOOKINGS GO ON A RAMPAGE... Advance bookings for the *paid previews* on 18 March 2026 have just commenced, and #DhurandharTheRevenge is already trending on #BMS, selling a staggering 7.5k tickets per hour.Amazing, isn't it? pic.twitter.com/zJWLlVOqju— taran adarsh (@taran_adarsh) March 7, 2026 (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   The trailer opens with a chilling callback to the original film, featuring a scene reminiscent of the IC 814 hijacking.A terrorist is seen threatening R Madhavan's character, Ajay Sanyal, saying: Hindu bohot hi darpok qaum hai (Hindus are a very fearful community).The hijacker continues with a warning: Pados mein hi rehte hai hum, godhe bhar ka zor laga lo aur bigaad lo jo bigaad sakte ho. As he speaks, the camera cuts to Madhavan, whose screen is filled with a saturated red hue—symbolizing his blood boiling and hinting at the slow-burning revenge he is about to embark on.This red imagery effectively evokes the intensity of the 26/11 sequence from the first film. While the first film ended with glimpses of Hamza's recruitment, Dhurandhar 2 promises to fully explore the backstory of Jaskirat Singh Rangi (Ranveer's real identity).The trailer shows a poignant moment of Jaskirat crying, possibly after a personal loss, which sets the stage for his recruitment by Madhavan as a R&AW agent. This deeply personal conflict ties into cross-border terrorism, eventually unleashing Jaskirat's beast mode as he infiltrates Pakistan's terror networks to become the ruthless Hamza Ali Mazari. The global response further solidifies the film's Super Blockbuster status. According to trade reports from Venky Box Office, Dhurandhar 2 is witnessing a massive response in the North American market. With 12 days still left until the premieres, the film has already collected $400,112 in premiere advance sales across 542 locations. The opening day advance bookings in the USA have already hit $565,000, while the total first-weekend advance sales have already touched the $1 million mark. With the film aiming for a Rs 100 crore opening day, Dhurandhar 2 is poised to redefine box office benchmarks for Indian cinema. The Aditya Dhar directorial is scheduled for a worldwide release on March 19, 2026.

Box Office: Tough Competition For Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar 2 In Telugu States, But Tougher For Ustaad Bhagat Singh

Hyderabad, March 7 – The Ranveer Singh-fronted Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge is gearing up for a massive theatrical release on March 19, coinciding with major festivals including Eid and Ugadi. However, the spy action thriller will face a significant challenge in the Telugu states due to the arrival of Pawan Kalyan's highly anticipated action entertainer Ustaad Bhagat Singh. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Originally scheduled for March 26, Ustaad Bhagat Singh was rescheduled to March 19 following the postponement of Yash's Toxic due to the military conflict in the Middle East. The move has set up a direct box office clash between the Telugu mass entertainer and the Bollywood sequel across India, particularly in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, where Pawan Kalyan enjoys enormous popularity. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) While Dhurandhar 2 is expected to perform strongly nationwide due to the success of its first part and its multi-language release strategy, the Telugu states could prove to be a tough market. The sequel is releasing in five languages, including Telugu, but competing against a local superstar-led film in the region will make screen allocation and audience pull more challenging. However, the competition may actually be tougher for Ustaad Bhagat Singh. Despite Pawan Kalyan's strong fan base in the Telugu states, Dhurandhar 2 carries significant pan-India appeal and strong pre-release buzz. Trade believes Dhurandhar 2's massive demand in Telugu states could attract urban multiplex audiences and neutral viewers there, especially if word-of-mouth turns positive. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) In addition, Dhurandhar 2 is expected to benefit from its large-scale action spectacle and franchise value after the first film's success, while its makers are reportedly planning paid premiere shows on March 18 to build early momentum. It is said that Ustaad Bhagat Singh is going for a ticket hike, and considering that, the Telugu media is cautioning the makers against it as they feel it will benefit Dhurandhar: The Revenge even more among the neutral audience. With both films targeting the same festive window, the March 19 weekend is shaping up to be one of the biggest box office clashes of 2026. The Telugu states will likely see intense competition between the two titles, but the real test will be how each film sustains its run after the opening weekend. Stay tuned...

Dhurandhar 2: Will Ranveer Singh's Sher-e-Baloch anthem recreate the viral magic of Akshaye Khanna's FA9LA?

Following the viral success of Akshaye Khanna's Arabic-themed track FA9LA from the 2025 hit Dhurandhar, anticipation for the musical landscape of the sequel has been high. According to a recent report by Mid-day, filmmaker Aditya Dhar has already prepared a significant musical sequence for Dhurandhar: The Revenge, featuring leading man Ranveer Singh in a pivotal character moment. The Ascension of Hamza The upcoming track is set to mark a major narrative shift in the sequel. While Akshaye Khanna's character, Rehman Dakait, held the title of Sher-e-Baloch in the first installment, the sequel will witness Ranveer Singh's character, Hamza, ascending to the position. The song is designed as a celebration of Hamza being declared the new Sher-e-Baloch following the events of the first film. Interestingly, the report suggests that Aditya Dhar utilized a back-to-back filming schedule to maintain production efficiency. Both Khanna's FA9LA and Ranveer Singh's upcoming number were reportedly filmed on the same set in Ladakh. Given the grueling climatic conditions of the region, the production team opted to shoot the sequences just a day apart to avoid the logistical challenges of returning to the high-altitude location later. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   While Ranveer Singh is known for his high-energy dance performances, this particular number is expected to follow a different creative direction. Sources indicate that while the song is choreographed by Vijay Ganguly and features background dancers, Singh's character will remain true to his gritty persona. Unlike the flamboyant Rehman Dakait, Hamza is portrayed as a serious, quiet, and aggressive individual driven by a personal mission. Consequently, the sequence will focus on his presence during the celebration rather than a traditional shake a leg routine, ensuring the character's intensity remains intact. Dhurandhar: The Revenge continues the high-stakes narrative established in the first film, with Aditya Dhar aiming to balance commercial musical elements with the franchise's established grounded tone In addition to the musical buzz, the film is making significant waves at the international box office. According to Venky Box Office, Dhurandhar: The Revenge is witnessing a massive response in the USA. With 12 days still left until the premieres, the film has already collected $400,112 in premiere advance sales across 542 locations and 947 shows, with 24,676 tickets sold. The opening day advance bookings have already hit $565K, while the total advance sales for the first weekend have touched the $1 million mark, signaling a massive start for the Ranveer Singh-starrer in the North American market.

Dhurandhar: The Revenge Advance Booking To Open on March 7; New Ticket Pricing Category Expected for National Chains

Domestic advance bookings for the highly anticipated sequel Dhurandhar: The Revenge are scheduled to commence on March 7 across India. According to a report by Pinkvilla, ticket sales in national cinema chains and major multiplexes will go live immediately following the digital launch of the film's theatrical trailer. The film is set for a Pan-India release on March 19, 2026, coinciding with the Eid holidays. In anticipation of high consumer demand and the film's reported runtime of nearly four hours, national multiplex chains are expected to implement a revised ticket pricing structure. This new category, identified as Super Blockbuster Plus, is designed to account for the extended duration of the film, which naturally limits the number of daily shows per screen. Typically, major tentpole releases are categorized under Blockbuster or Super Blockbuster rates, which see a 10% to 25% premium over standard ticket prices. The introduction of the Super Blockbuster Plus rate suggests that Dhurandhar: The Revenge is being positioned as one of the largest theatrical events of the year. Ticket sales are expected to open based on a provisional censor certificate while the final certification process is completed. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   Given the anticipated volume of ticket sales, the film is expected to face capacity constraints across several major domestic regions during its opening weekend.Produced by Jio Studios in association with B62 Studios and T-Series, the film features Ranveer Singh in the lead and will be released in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam. This wide-scale release marks a significant expansion for the franchise, targeting a global and Pan-India audience simultaneously. The March 19 release window has seen a significant change following the rescheduling of Yash's highly anticipated film, Toxic. Originally slated to clash with Dhurandhar: The Revenge on the same date, the makers of Toxic have officially moved their release to June 4, 2026. This strategic postponement provides the Ranveer Singh-starrer with a clear theatrical window during the Eid 2026 holiday period. By avoiding this high-profile box office clash, Dhurandhar is now positioned to maximize its screen count and domestic collections across all major circuits.

Yami Gautam Dhar Issues Clarification Over Accidental Social Media Like; Reaffirms Stance on Award Shows and PR Tactics

Actress Yami Gautam Dhar has addressed recent social media speculation regarding her activity on Instagram. The Article 370 actress issued a formal clarification via her official X account after reports surfaced that she had liked a reel that was perceived as condescending toward a fellow actor. Yami clarified that the interaction was unintentional and occurred while navigating through multiple social media tags. In her statement, Yami Gautam Dhar emphasized that the like was likely an accidental click while she was tagged in posts referencing an award function. It has come to my notice that I apparently liked a reel that is condescending toward another actor, she stated. It isn't true and was definitely not done consciously; if anything, it may have been clicked accidentally. Beyond the clarification, the actress took the opportunity to reiterate her long-standing professional philosophy. Known for her outspoken nature regarding the inner workings of the film industry, Yami stated that she has never resorted to cheap PR tactics and remains focused strictly on her cinematic output. She further noted that she does not employ a PR team, a choice she made early in her career to maintain an authentic public image. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   Yami also reminded followers of her previously established stance on entertainment award shows. In the past, the actress has been vocal about the lack of transparency in award selections, often choosing to distance herself from the ceremonial aspect of the industry in favor of performance-driven projects. The actress has seen a surge in critical and commercial success recently, particularly with the 2024 political thriller Article 370, which was a box-office success. She is also closely associated with the production house of her husband, director Aditya Dhar. Her clarification comes at a time when digital footprints are closely monitored by fans and industry analysts alike. By addressing the situation directly, Yami aims to protect her reputation for being a work-focused professional, urging social media portals to avoid turning accidental clicks into coffee-table gossip.

King:Shah Rukh Khan and Suhana Khan Wrap Intense Action Sequence Set Against Vijayadashami Backdrop

The upcoming action spectacle King has officially moved into its next major phase of production. Superstar Shah Rukh Khan and his daughter, Suhana Khan, have successfully completed a grueling eight-day action schedule at Ellora Studios in Bhayandar. This high-octane thriller, directed by Sujoy Ghosh and co-produced by Siddharth Anand's Marflix along with Gauri Khan's Red Chillies Entertainment, is being built as one of the most ambitious and visually stunning projects in Indian cinema. Sources close to the production have revealed that this recently wrapped sequence is a pivotal moment in the film's narrative. The action unfolds against the vibrant and dramatic backdrop of Vijayadashami celebrations, for which a massive, culturally detailed set was constructed. Following the gritty tone established in the initial date announcement video, King promises to deliver a raw and grounded action experience, showcasing a unique father-daughter dynamic on the silver screen for the first time. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   Beyond the lead pair, the film boasts a stellar ensemble cast that elevates its scale significantly. Abhishek Bachchan is set to portray a sophisticated and powerful antagonist, creating a highly anticipated face-off with Shah Rukh Khan. Furthermore, it is also said that Rani Mukerji and Deepika Padukone will also play integral roles in the film, adding immense star power to this collaboration. The project aims to blend the slick, international-standard action sensibilities of Siddharth Anand with the taut, suspenseful storytelling for which Sujoy Ghosh is renowned.

O'Romeo Box Office Collection Day 17: Shahid Kapoor Starrer Crosses 100 Crore Globally But Struggles To Recover Its Budget

The latest box office reports for the Shahid Kapoor and Triptii Dimri starrer O'Romeo show a mixed performance as the film completes 17 days in theaters. Directed by Vishal Bhardwaj, the action-thriller has officially crossed the ₹100 crore milestone at the worldwide gross box office. However, despite reaching this symbolic figure globally, the film's domestic performance paints a challenging picture regarding its financial recovery and overall success rate. O'Romeo has earned a total India net collection of ₹65.15 crore as of its 17th day. The film started its journey with a decent Week 1 collection of ₹47.1 crore, but witnessed a significant drop in its second week, managing only ₹14.45 crore. This sharp decline indicates a slowing momentum at the ticket windows, as the film struggled to maintain a steady grip over the weekdays following its initial opening. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   The financial viability of the project remains a concern given its high production scale. O'Romeo was mounted on a reported budget of ₹130 crore, which includes ₹30 crore dedicated to print and advertising (P&A). With the India net collection currently standing at just over half of its total cost, the film faces an uphill task in reaching a break-even point. While the overseas market contributed ₹24.1 crore and helped push the worldwide gross to ₹101 crore, the domestic theatrical share is not currently on track to categorize the film as a commercial hit. Looking ahead, the long-term prospects for the Vishal Bhardwaj directorial appear limited. While the film still holds its current screen presence, its theatrical run is expected to be severely curtailed by the impending release of Dhurandhar 2. The massive wave of anticipation for the sequel is likely to dominate the marketplace and take over a significant portion of screens, leaving little room for O'Romeo to add to its totals. Given the current collection trends and the approaching competition,it is unlikely the film will achieve the success rate needed to turn a profit during its theatrical run.

Both films are undergoing sudden promotional shifts that have kept fans on their toes.This week saw a low-key audio launch for the Toxic song Tabaahi, contrasted by a high-profile debunking of Dhurandhar 2 trailer rumors, proving that both camps are carefully calculating every move to capture maximum audience attention.

While the track's quality was praised, fans were visibly disappointed that the team released only the audio track, accompanied by a static poster featuring Yash and Kiara Advani. Many had expected a grand music video or at least a lyrical preview to showcase the film's lavish production values. Simultaneously, the buzz surrounding the trailer for Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar 2 reached a fever pitch, with widespread reports claiming a digital drop on March 3 to coincide with the Holi festivities.However, trade analyst Taran Adarsh and production house Jio Studios officially set the record straight on Monday, refuting these claims.

Toxic vs Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai: KVN Productions Clarifies Communication With Varun Dhawan Film's Team

The theatrical calendar for June 2026 has been finalised with the official rescheduling of Yash's Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-ups to June 4. This update places the film in a back-to-back release schedule with Varun Dhawan's Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, which is currently set to arrive in cinemas on June 5. A report by Bollywood Hungama said that Varun Dhawan's team was jolted and caught unawares by the announcement. KVN Productions has stepped forward to clarify the timeline of events. Amidst reports of a potential communication breakdown, a spokesperson for KVN Productions stated that the decision was handled with professional transparency. The studio confirmed that when the owner of KVN, Mr Venkat, realised the dates were overlapping, he personally reached out to the maker of Varun's film, Mr Ramesh Taurani, to avoid any unnecessary friction. Distributor Anil Thadani reportedly facilitated the conversation, as the Toxic makers were clear that they did not want the other project to face the kind of uncertainty their own film had earlier encountered when Dhurandhar: The Revenge announced a release on their original March 19 slot. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   According to the official clarification, these discussions took place well before the public announcement of the new release date. This ensured that both production teams were fully aware that a box-office clash was on the horizon for the first weekend of June. The spokesperson emphasised that the entire process was handled transparently and cordially, refuting claims that the Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai team was blindsided. The shift to June 4 was strategically suggested by Anil Thadani to capitalise on the post-IPL window and a period where global market conditions are expected to be more stable. With the communication cleared between both camps, the focus now moves to the theatrical distribution and screen-sharing arrangements for that weekend. As it stands, June 4 and June 5 will mark a major head-to-head battle between two high-profile projects, but with both production houses now officially on the same page.
