Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge Becomes First Hindi Film Ever to Cross USD 2 Million in US Presales

No Hindi film has ever done this before. Let that sink in. With over a week still left before premieres, Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has quietly rewritten Bollywood box office history in the United States — and it’s only getting started.

Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge — US Box Office Presales Snapshot

The Number That Changed Everything

Just three days before hitting USD 2 million, the film was at USD 1 million — meaning it literally doubled in 72 hours. That kind of momentum is extraordinary, and it tells you everything about how much appetite there is for this film among the Indian diaspora and general audiences in North America.

What makes this even more remarkable is the pricing context. Where blockbusters like Baahubali 2, RRR, and Kalki 2898 AD sold premiere tickets at around USD 30 a pop, Dhurandhar 2 is doing it at standard USD 14–15 rates. That means it’s not just matching those films in dollar terms — it’s already outpacing them significantly in sheer tickets sold.

Could This Touch USD 10 Million Opening Weekend?

The projections are jaw-dropping. With eight days still remaining before the Wednesday premieres at the time of writing, analysts believe USD 4 million in US advance is now virtually locked in. If the momentum sustains through release, the film could potentially storm past USD 10 million in its opening weekend alone — a milestone only three Hindi films have ever hit across their entire theatrical run. Dhurandhar 2 is gunning for that in a single weekend.

Top locations are already at very high occupancy, causing a natural spillover of bookings to the Friday-Sunday window. That’s not a problem — that’s a sign of a film that has genuinely captured attention.
