While we already knew the international numbers were looking fantastic, the domestic pre-sales have now shifted into an unprecedented "rampage mode." Trade analysts are currently completely stunned as the film rapidly marches toward a historic ₹100 crore global pre-sale figure.
Here is the complete, mind-boggling breakdown of the advance booking tsunami that Ranveer Singh is currently causing across the globe!
The Paid Preview Rampage: Beating Pawan Kalyan's 'OG' 🎟️
The makers made a highly strategic move by opening the advance bookings for the March 18 paid previews alongside the trailer launch, and the audience has devoured the tickets!
The Numbers: As of this morning, the film has sold an unbelievable 4.7 lakh tickets nationwide just for the Wednesday preview shows!
The Revenue: This translates to a massive ₹24.4 crore gross in India alone, before the movie has even officially released.
The Record: With this momentum, Ranveer Singh is officially on track to shatter the all-time Indian cinema paid-preview record, completely surpassing the massive ₹25-crore benchmark set by Pawan Kalyan’s They Call Him OG last year, as well as comfortably dethroning Stree 2.
The Global Tsunami: ₹60 Crore and Counting 🌊
While the domestic market is on fire, the overseas territories are behaving like it is a massive Hollywood tentpole release.
North American Dominance: The US and Canadian markets are showing historic traction. The premiere advance sales have crossed $1.45 million, with the opening weekend pre-sales already hitting an estimated $2.8 million!
The Global Total: When combining the domestic previews, the blocked corporate seats, and the massive international pre-sales across Europe, Asia, and Oceania, Dhurandhar 2 has already amassed a staggering ₹60 crore in worldwide advance booking gross.
The Pan-India Correction Pays Off 🌍
One of the biggest regrets of the first Dhurandhar (2025) was that it was only released in Hindi, missing out on the massive South Indian box office. Aditya Dhar is not making that mistake twice!
The Dubbed Dominance: The sequel is having a massive pan-India release in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam.
The Results: The strategy is working flawlessly. The Tamil and Telugu dubbed versions are currently pulling in fantastic advance numbers, proving that the South Indian audience is highly invested in Ranveer's undercover spy saga.
The 1000-Crore Club Calling? 👑
With the original Dhurandhar grossing over ₹1300 crore globally, the trade expectations for the sequel are sky-high. If the film actually manages to cross the ₹100 crore net mark on its opening day (which looks highly likely right now), Ranveer Singh is firmly on track to deliver his second consecutive ₹1000-crore grosser, placing him in the elite, exclusive league alongside Shah Rukh Khan!
SantaBanta Verdict:
We haven't seen this kind of pre-release hysteria since Animal and Jawan! Aditya Dhar has crafted a highly volatile, patriotic spy-thriller, and pairing it with Ranveer Singh's unmatched, raw energy is turning out to be the ultimate box-office cheat code.
