The upcoming action film Dhurandhar: The Revenge starring Ranveer Singh is building strong buzz ahead of its theatrical release. While the movie has already recorded impressive advance sales for its paid previews, audiences are still waiting for the full advance booking window to open.
According to industry sources, the complete advance booking for the film’s opening day and the first weekend is expected to go live on March 14, around five days before its global theatrical release.
Delay Linked to Distributor and Cinema Chain Discussions
Reports indicate that the advance booking launch was slightly delayed due to ongoing discussions between distributors and major national cinema chains.
Sources suggest that the matter could be resolved soon, allowing the full advance sales to begin. Once bookings open across theatres, trade experts believe the film could witness a strong surge in ticket sales.
Film Already Records Strong Paid Preview Sales
Even before full bookings have opened, the film has reportedly shown impressive momentum with its paid previews.
The movie has already sold around 2.5 lakh tickets in the top national chains, including PVR Inox and Cinepolis.
Trade estimates suggest that preview bookings could close near 3.5 lakh tickets, with the possibility of touching the 4 lakh mark depending on last-minute demand.
Since the film is expected to have Wednesday preview shows, industry analysts believe the initial opening-day sales pattern may fluctuate slightly. However, the strong buzz surrounding the film could still lead to impressive overall pre-sales.
Cast and Release Details
Directed by Aditya Dhar, the film features a large ensemble cast including Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, R. Madhavan, Sara Arjun, and Rakesh Bedi.
Dhurandhar: The Revenge is scheduled to release in theatres on March 19, with paid previews planned for March 18.
Box Office Expectations
With strong hype among fans and solid preview sales already underway, trade circles are closely watching how the film performs once its full advance booking officially opens.
The coming days will likely determine whether the Ranveer Singh starrer can set new benchmarks for pre-release ticket sales in Hindi cinema.
