Ranveer Singh's 'Dhurandhar' faces slow ticket sales ahead of release

Entertainment Dec 03, 2025

Ranveer Singh's much-hyped spy thriller, Dhurandhar, isn't getting the buzz at the box office just yet.
After a quick ₹1cr in advance bookings on Monday, things have slowed down—by Wednesday afternoon, only 50K tickets were sold across 3,000 screens for ₹2.3cr.

What's going on?

Ticket sales are crawling at about 1,500 per hour on BookMyShow—pretty low for a film with this kind of star power and scale.
Directed by Aditya Dhar and set in Pakistan's gritty Lyari area, Dhurandhar features a stacked cast including Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, and Akshaye Khanna.
With its December 5 release on 5K screens coming up fast, all eyes are on whether fans will show up last minute or if this one opens quieter than expected.
