The upcoming action film Dhurandhar 2 The Revenge starring Ranveer Singh has generated strong anticipation among movie audiences even before its official theatrical release. The film is scheduled to release across India on March 19, while special paid preview shows are planned for March 18 in several cities.
Advance ticket bookings for the film have already opened and early demand has been particularly strong in Mumbai. According to industry reports, theatres in the city have recorded advance bookings worth nearly 3.84 crore rupees ahead of the premiere. The strong response indicates the level of interest among audiences who are eager to watch the sequel.
One aspect that has attracted attention is the wide variation in ticket prices across different cinemas in Mumbai. Some theatres are offering tickets for approximately 150 rupees for standard screens, making the film accessible to a wide range of viewers. At the same time, premium multiplex formats including luxury seating and large screen experiences have ticket prices reaching as high as 2500 rupees.
Such price differences are common in major metropolitan cities where cinemas offer multiple viewing formats. Standard screens typically have lower ticket prices, while premium auditoriums with advanced projection technology, larger screens and enhanced sound systems charge higher prices. In cities like Mumbai, audience demand and location of the theatre can also influence ticket pricing.
The film is directed by Aditya Dhar, who is known for directing large scale action films. Along with Ranveer Singh, the movie features a prominent cast including Arjun Rampal, R Madhavan, Sanjay Dutt, Sara Arjun and Rakesh Bedi. The film is expected to combine action drama with a large scale cinematic presentation.
Film trade analysts say that advance bookings often provide an early indication of audience interest before a film’s release. When ticket sales begin strongly in major cities like Mumbai, it usually reflects high anticipation among fans and strong promotional reach.
Paid preview screenings a day before release have also become a common practice in the Indian film industry. These special shows allow audiences to watch the film earlier than the official release date while helping producers generate early box office revenue. Positive word of mouth from preview audiences can also influence the opening day performance.
Cinema industry experts note that the wide range of ticket prices reflects the diversity of movie going experiences available today. Viewers can choose between affordable options and premium formats depending on their preference and budget.
With its star cast, large scale production and strong advance bookings, Dhurandhar 2 The Revenge is expected to attract large audiences during its opening weekend. The film’s performance in key markets such as Mumbai, Delhi and other metropolitan cities will be closely watched by industry observers after its release.
