Mumbai: The upcoming action thriller film Dhurandhar 2 The Revenge has generated significant excitement among movie audiences across India. The film starring Ranveer Singh in the lead role has already recorded strong advance bookings ahead of its release, with nearly two lakh tickets sold for paid preview shows across major national multiplex chains.
Industry observers say the impressive advance booking numbers indicate strong audience interest in the film. Paid preview screenings, which are usually held before the official release date, have become an important indicator of a film’s early box office performance. According to trade analysts, Dhurandhar 2 could emerge as one of the biggest opening films of the year if the current trend continues.
The film, officially titled Dhurandhar 2 The Revenge, features Ranveer Singh in the role of Jaspreet Singh Rangi, a character involved in a high intensity spy action storyline. The film’s promotional campaign and action packed trailers have contributed to strong interest among audiences, especially fans of large scale action thrillers.
Multiplex chains across the country have reported rapid ticket sales for the paid preview shows. Early booking data suggests that audiences in major metropolitan cities including Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru and Hyderabad are showing strong interest in the film. Cinema operators are also planning to add additional preview shows in response to increasing demand.
Trade experts believe the film could challenge the current record for the highest paid premiere collections at the Indian box office. That record is presently associated with the film They Call Him OG starring Pawan Kalyan. The film had earlier set a notable milestone for paid premiere revenue in India.
The performance of Dhurandhar 2 during its preview screenings will therefore be closely watched by industry analysts and film distributors. If the advance booking trend continues, the film could potentially approach or surpass the existing record set by They Call Him OG.
Paid preview screenings have become increasingly popular in the Indian film industry in recent years. These early shows allow fans to watch a film before its official release date and also help generate early buzz on social media platforms. Positive reactions from preview audiences often influence wider public interest and contribute to stronger box office collections during the opening weekend.
The producers of Dhurandhar 2 have also focused heavily on marketing campaigns, promotional events and digital promotions to build anticipation for the film. Ranveer Singh’s popularity and his reputation for high energy performances have also contributed to audience interest.
Film trade analysts note that the action thriller genre continues to attract large audiences in Indian cinemas, especially when combined with high production values and star power. Dhurandhar 2 appears to be benefiting from these factors as advance ticket sales continue to rise.
With preview bookings still underway and additional shows expected to be announced, the coming days will determine whether the film can break existing premiere records. The early box office performance of Dhurandhar 2 is expected to provide a clearer picture of its overall commercial prospects once it releases widely in theatres across India.
