The countdown for the release of Dhurandhar 2 has officially begun, and the film is already creating unprecedented buzz even before hitting theatres. While the movie is slated for a grand release on March 19, special paid premiere shows have been scheduled as early as December 18, with advance bookings witnessing overwhelming demand.
The film, starring Ranveer Singh along with R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, and Sara Arjun, is gearing up to break multiple box office records.
Unusual 24-Hour Screenings
One of the most striking aspects of the release is the film’s runtime reportedly close to four hours. Due to its length, theatres are finding it challenging to schedule multiple shows within a day.
To meet the soaring demand, some theatres across cities like Mumbai, Pune, and Ahmedabad are planning 24-hour screenings, running the film continuously throughout the day. In certain locations such as PVR Chakla and MovieMax Sion in Mumbai, shows are scheduled as early as 1:50 AM, highlighting the extraordinary craze surrounding the film.
Massive Advance Booking
The film has reportedly sold around 1.5 million tickets in advance bookings, signaling a blockbuster opening. Theatre owners are even stretching show timings to accommodate more audiences, with minimal gaps between screenings.
Impact on Other Films
The immense demand for Dhurandhar 2 has even impacted long-running screenings of the iconic Bollywood film Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. The movie, which has been playing daily at Mumbai’s Maratha Mandir for over 30 years at its regular 11:30 AM slot, has reportedly had its schedule adjusted to make room for the new release.
Record-Breaking Premiere Earnings
Early reports suggest that the film has already earned approximately ₹35 crore through paid premieres, setting a new benchmark in the industry. This strong pre-release performance indicates that Dhurandhar 2 could emerge as one of the biggest box office hits of the year.
High Expectations
With a star-studded cast, massive promotions, and unprecedented audience response, expectations from the film are sky-high. Industry experts believe that if the momentum continues, Dhurandhar 2 could redefine box office trends in India.
