The much-anticipated action drama Dhurandhar: The Revenge, starring Ranveer Singh, has created a significant buzz even before its theatrical release, registering record-breaking advance booking numbers across India. According to early trade estimates, the film has managed to surpass the pre-release ticket sales of Jawan, which featured Shah Rukh Khan in the lead.
Industry trackers indicate that Dhurandhar: The Revenge has witnessed an exceptional response on ticketing platforms, particularly in major metropolitan cities such as Mumbai, Delhi, and Bengaluru. Multiplex chains and single-screen theatres alike have reported high occupancy levels for opening day shows, with several screenings already nearing full capacity days ahead of release.
The film’s strong advance booking performance is being attributed to multiple factors, including Ranveer Singh’s popularity, an aggressive promotional campaign, and the film’s positioning as a high-octane revenge drama. The trailer and music releases have also generated considerable excitement among audiences, contributing to the surge in early ticket sales.
Trade analysts suggest that surpassing the advance booking figures of Jawan is a notable achievement, considering the latter set new standards for Bollywood with its massive pre-release hype and record-breaking box office run. Jawan, directed by Atlee, had established one of the highest opening day collections in Hindi cinema, making it a benchmark for subsequent releases.

With Dhurandhar: The Revenge, expectations are now significantly higher. The film is expected to open to strong box office numbers, with some projections indicating one of the biggest opening weekends of the year. If the initial momentum sustains, it could potentially emerge as one of the top-grossing films in Ranveer Singh’s career.
The film’s release strategy has also played a key role in building anticipation. A wide release across thousands of screens, coupled with premium format screenings, has ensured maximum visibility and accessibility for audiences. Additionally, advance bookings in overseas markets have reportedly shown promising trends, further boosting the film’s prospects.
While advance booking figures often indicate strong initial interest, industry experts note that long-term success will depend on audience reception and word of mouth after release. Nevertheless, the current trend suggests that Dhurandhar: The Revenge is poised for a powerful start at the box office.
As the release date approaches, all eyes remain on whether Ranveer Singh’s latest outing can translate its impressive pre-release numbers into sustained commercial success and potentially set new records in the days to come.
