Dhurandhar: The Revenge, starring Ranveer Singh, is rewriting box office history even before its theatrical release. The film has crossed the ₹200 crore mark in worldwide advance booking, setting a new benchmark for Indian cinema.
Record-Breaking Global Advance
As per latest estimates, the film had already collected around ₹187 crore in global advances earlier, and with last-minute bookings, it has now comfortably crossed ₹200 crore worldwide.
The current trend suggests that the final advance could reach approximately ₹250 crore, which would mark an all-time record.
India and Overseas Breakdown
The advance booking performance has been strong across both domestic and international markets.
India
- Hindi version: ₹101 crore
- Dubbed versions: ₹3 crore
- Total India: ₹104 crore
Overseas
- United States: approx USD 4.75 million
- Canada: approx USD 1.3 million
- Australia: approx USD 1.0 million
- United Kingdom and Europe combined: strong contributions
- Total Overseas: approx USD 9 million
Including additional weekday sales in some regions, overseas advances have added significantly to the global total.
Capacity Constraints in Key Markets
Several international markets are witnessing extremely high demand:
- The United States is nearing USD 5 million in advance sales
- Canada is approaching CAD 2 million
- Australia is close to AUD 1.5 million
In many locations, ticket sales have slowed not due to lack of demand but because of limited screen availability. Additional shows may further boost numbers.
Comparison with Previous Records
The advance booking numbers have already surpassed previous benchmarks for Bollywood films.
- Jawan previously held the record with around ₹122 crore advance
- Big-ticket films like RRR and Pushpa 2: The Rule also recorded massive pre-sales, primarily driven by regional markets
However, Dhurandhar The Revenge stands out for achieving these figures largely within the Hindi film ecosystem.
Missed Opportunity in Middle East
The film is not releasing in the Middle East, which is typically a strong market, especially during festive periods. Industry estimates suggest that including this region could have pushed the advance closer to ₹275 crore globally.
Final Take
Dhurandhar The Revenge is on track to deliver one of the biggest openings in Indian cinema history. With record-breaking advance bookings across key markets and strong audience demand, the film has already secured a historic position ahead of release.
If the momentum continues, it could redefine box office benchmarks for Bollywood on a global scale.
