Numbers That Speak for Themselves
As of 10 PM on March 17, Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge had sold approximately 6.70 lakh tickets in the top two national chains — PVRINOX and Cinepolis — for the opening day including paid previews. Of these, around 3.70 lakh tickets were for the premiere/preview day alone, while 3 lakh admissions were recorded for the opening day proper.
That is an extraordinary number before a single frame has rolled for general audiences. To understand how significant this is, consider the company it’s keeping. Based on current trends, Dhurandhar 2 will stand third among the biggest pre-sales in National Chains in Hindi, following Avengers: Endgame and Pathaan.
The Avengers: Endgame benchmark — a global Marvel juggernaut — being challenged by a Hindi film is a genuinely jaw-dropping milestone for Indian cinema.
What Could Have Been — And What Still Might Be
Here’s a fascinating “what if” scenario from the data. If there were no previews, Dhurandhar 2 would have stormed past the 5 lakh mark much earlier and would have challenged Avengers: Endgame’s historic sales for the opening day — possibly setting a new record of over ₹90 crore.
Instead, the industry will likely club preview collections with the Thursday opening day figures, making the combined forecast ₹97–115 crore nett, with a pinpoint estimate of ₹105 crore nett.
Either way, Bollywood is staring down a ₹100 crore opening day — something only a handful of films in Indian cinema history have ever touched.
