Dhurandhar: The Revenge, starring Ranveer Singh, has rewritten box office history even before its full release, crossing a staggering ₹250 crore in worldwide advance bookings.
The film has clocked approximately ₹155 crore in India and USD 10.75 million (₹100 crore approx) overseas, taking the total to ₹255 crore globally. With additional weekday advances overseas contributing another ₹8 crore, the overall advance climbs to around ₹263 crore — an all-time record for Indian cinema.
North America Drives Massive Overseas Advance
The United States has emerged as the biggest contributor overseas, with USD 5.30 million in advance sales, including USD 1.60 million from previews. This marks the first time an Indian film has crossed USD 5 million in advances in the region.
Canada has also delivered exceptional numbers, contributing over CAD 2.50 million, showcasing the film’s massive demand across North America.
A late surge in bookings was observed after additional shows were added, particularly in the US and Canada, where earlier capacity constraints had limited sales.
Overseas Markets Show Unprecedented Demand
Apart from North America, other international markets have also recorded strong advances:
- Australia – USD 1.30 million
- United Kingdom – USD 900K
- Europe – USD 800K
- New Zealand – USD 150K
- Rest of World – USD 425K
These numbers collectively push the overseas advance total to USD 10.75 million, with further growth expected through the opening weekend.
India Advance Crosses ₹155 Crore
In India, the film has generated approximately ₹155 crore in advance bookings, including:
- ₹150 crore from Hindi version
- ₹5 crore from dubbed versions
Despite limited contribution from South-dubbed markets so far, the numbers remain historic.
Record-Breaking Benchmark
Before this, Pushpa 2: The Rule was among the few Indian films to cross ₹200 crore in advance bookings.
Dhurandhar: The Revenge has now comfortably surpassed that milestone, setting a new industry benchmark.
₹600 Crore Worldwide Weekend Incoming
The film is now targeting a massive ₹600 crore worldwide opening weekend, with overseas collections expected to exceed USD 20 million.
Notably, these projections come despite:
- No release in Middle East markets
- Limited contribution from South dubbed versions
A wider release could have pushed advances close to ₹300 crore and the opening weekend toward ₹700 crore globally.
Final Verdict
Dhurandhar: The Revenge has already established itself as a box office phenomenon before its official run begins. With record-breaking advances and unprecedented global demand, the Ranveer Singh starrer is poised to deliver one of the biggest openings in Indian cinema history.
