Comparisons with Other Big Openers
When we compare Dhurandhar 2 with other major blockbusters like Dhurandhar 1, Jawan, Pathaan, and Animal, the trends indicate a record-breaking trajectory. These movies had set significant benchmarks in terms of day one advance booking and overall opening weekend, but early indicators suggest that Ranveer Singh’s latest action-packed sequel may outshine them in box office collections.
- Dhurandhar 1 – Had a strong Day 1, but didn’t cross the kind of advance booking numbers we are seeing now.
- Jawan – High anticipation but slightly lower advance booking in comparison.
- Pathaan – Shah Rukh Khan’s blockbuster broke multiple records, yet early trends show Dhurandhar 2 might rival its Day 1 gross.
- Animal – Another major hit, yet Dhurandhar 2 seems to be pulling ahead in terms of ticket sales across multiple languages.
Language and Format Trends
The Hindi 2D version leads the charts, grossing over 38.6 Cr and selling more than 8 lakh tickets in advance. Interestingly, the Dolby Cine format is seeing limited but premium bookings, highlighting audience preference for immersive experiences. Regional languages like Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam are also contributing significantly, showing the pan-India appeal of the movie.
The wide array of shows — 12,386 in total across India — indicates that theaters are preparing for massive footfalls on Day 1. The average ticket price (ATP) ranges from ₹147 in Tamil to ₹759 in Dolby Cine, reflecting both affordability and premium experience options for viewers.
Day 1 Box Office Projections
Industry experts are already predicting a spectacular opening for Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge. Considering the festival weekend, Eid holidays, and the current trend in advance bookings, the Day 1 gross could potentially range between 100 Cr to 120 Cr.
Looking further ahead:
- 3-Day Worldwide Weekend: Expected to cross 500 Cr or more.
- 5-Day Global Collection: Could solidify the movie as one of the highest-grossing releases of 2026.
The combination of a holiday weekend and strong fan anticipation makes Dhurandhar 2 a potential game-changer at the box office.
