Box office performance
'Dhurandhar 2's advance sales continue to soar
The film's box office performance is not limited to national chains. The overall advance sales of Dhurandhar 2 are nearing the four lakh mark (3,49,422 tickets, say Sacnilk figures), indicating a strong demand for the film across various platforms. Even on its fourth day of sale, the movie added an impressive 25,000 tickets at national chains. Despite a long pre-sales window, the pace of ticket sales has remained steady so far.
Release day expectations
Film has massive capacity of ₹55-65cr nett
The film has a massive capacity of over ₹55cr nett, which is expected to rise to over ₹65cr eventually. However, the opening day is not a national holiday anymore as Eid falls on March 21 in India now. This may affect the occupancies for the second show that will start as late as 9:30-10:00pm in most places.
Potential surprises
Will film be able to overcome challenges?
Despite the non-holiday challenges, Dhurandhar 2 could still go above and beyond, given its massive craze. For the paid previews on March 18 alone, the film has amassed ₹23.91cr with blocked seats. Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar 2 also stars Sara Arjun, Arjun Rampal, R Madhavan, and Sanjay Dutt.
