Stree 2’s Record? Already Shattered — Days in Advance!
Dhurandhar: The Revenge already holds the record for the biggest previews for a Bollywood film, smashing Stree 2’s ₹8.75 crore nett tally. And this milestone was crossed with more than a week still to go before the film’s official release — that’s the kind of demand that signals a blockbuster in the making.
The film has a huge seating capacity of over ₹55 crore nett, which is expected to rise to over ₹65 crore eventually. At that level, it can certainly score over ₹30 crore nett on opening day.
What’s Driving the Frenzy?
The movie added a similar amount of pre-sales on Monday compared to Sunday — normally one would expect the pace to taper off, but that didn’t happen. The consistency of demand is what sets Dhurandhar 2 apart from other big releases.
The film also has its sights set on a bigger target. It is now aiming to quash They Call Him OG, which netted around ₹26 crore during its premieres.
The star cast includes Ranveer Singh, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, Sara Arjun, and Rakesh Bedi — a power-packed ensemble that’s clearly resonating with audiences. To understand how advance booking works within India’s theatrical box office ecosystem, read more on Wikipedia.

The Opening Day Equation
The Eid holiday now appears to be falling on March 21 in India, so the opening day is not a national holiday anymore. There is a holiday for Ugadi and Gudi Padwa in major markets like Mumbai and South India, but North India will be a working day — which may hurt occupancies for the second show. Despite that, analysts predict the film could still chase the Rs. 100 crore opening day target given the extraordinary advance booking momentum.
