To put that in perspective — the record for opening day sales at national chains is held by Pathaan at 5.45 lakh. But a fair comparison factors in previews too: combining previews and opening day, Dhurandhar: The Revenge had already sold 8.75 lakh tickets, which would comfortably be a record.

This is the kind of advance booking momentum that even [Pathaan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pathaan_(film)) — a film that sparked its own cultural frenzy — couldn’t replicate when you account for the full picture.

## The Eid Boost and a Monster Weekend Ahead

The opening day including previews is projected to clear ₹100 crore nett. With the Eid holiday beginning from Saturday, the four-day extended weekend is certain to cross ₹300 crore nett, likely around ₹325 crore nett — and including all versions, it could even top ₹350 crore nett.

That’s not a box office opening. That’s a seismic event.
