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.

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.
