The anticipation for Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar: The Revenge has reached a fever pitch as the film prepares for its grand release on March 19, 2026.
Ahead of its official debut, the film has scheduled extensive paid previews starting the evening of March 18, and the initial response has been nothing short of historic.
According to early trade reports, the film has already sold over 6 lakh tickets for these special premiere screenings alone, signaling a massive wave of momentum for the sequel.
Financial figures suggest a blockbuster start, with pre-sales for the paid previews already crossing the ₹32 crore mark (excluding blocked seats).
Experts predict that the movie could rake in between ₹40-45 crore from the preview shows alone before the first official day even begins. When combined with general advance bookings and overseas pre-sales—which have already topped ₹60 crore for the opening weekend—the Ranveer Singh starrer has comfortably surged past the ₹100 crore milestone in global pre-release collections.
The film’s path to box office dominance has been further cleared by the postponement of Yash’s Toxic, giving Dhurandhar 2 a significant solo release window in the Hindi market.
While it faces competition in the South from Pawan Kalyan’s Ustaad Bhagat Singh, the pan-India strategy for Dhurandhar 2—releasing in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada—is expected to draw massive crowds nationwide. With ticket prices touching ₹3100 in premium Mumbai theaters, the “Ranveer Singh effect” is clearly in full force.
