Ranveer Singh is gearing up for a massive box office takeover as Dhurandhar: The Revenge (Dhurandhar 2) heads for a grand worldwide release on March 19. Directed by Aditya Dhar, the high-octane spy thriller is already rewriting records even before its first show.

Special paid premieres are set to begin tomorrow evening across India and overseas, and the response has been nothing short of phenomenal. The film has reportedly sold over 1.5 million tickets for its opening weekend, reflecting unprecedented hype among audiences.

The numbers paint a staggering picture — paid premieres alone have grossed around ₹37.11 crore, while advance bookings for the official opening day stand at ₹22.70 crore. Combined, Dhurandhar 2 has already amassed nearly ₹60 crore in India before release, setting the stage for a historic opening.

The demand is so intense that theatres in major cities like Mumbai are planning special 2 AM shows to accommodate the surge in audience interest. Overseas too, the film is performing exceptionally well, clocking around $4 million in North American pre-sales for its opening weekend — putting it in league with top-tier stars like Shah Rukh Khan and Prabhas.

A major driving factor behind this craze is the success of the first installment. Released in 2025, Dhurandhar emerged as a massive blockbuster, grossing around ₹1300 crore worldwide. Ranveer Singh’s portrayal of undercover agent Jaskirat Singh Rangi became hugely popular, raising expectations sky-high for the sequel.

This time, the scale is even bigger, with powerful additions like R. Madhavan, Sanjay Dutt, and Arjun Rampal intensifying the narrative and conflict.

With a runtime of nearly 3 hours and 50 minutes, the film promises an expansive action spectacle. If early premieres generate strong word of mouth, Dhurandhar 2 is well on track to set new benchmarks at the Indian box office.
