Dhurandhar 2 advance booking opened full-fledged
Dhurandhar 2’s advance booking was previously opened for the March 18 premieres in a few select theatres across the country. However, on Saturday, bookings opened full-fledged with Ranveer announcing on his Instagram, “LET THE GAMES BEGIN.”
He also added, “Advance bookings for Dhurandhar The Revenge are open nationwide. Book Your Tickets Now. #DhurandharTheRevenge Releases Worldwide on 19 March, on Gudi Padwa, Ugadi, and Eid. Hindi | Telugu | Tamil | Kannada | Malayalam.”
Why Dhurandhar 2 will beat Dhurandhar’s opening
When Dhurandhar hit screens on December 5, it was released only in Hindi, and it collected ₹28 crore net on its opening day in India. On its 99th day on Friday, the film brought in ₹20 lakh after a re-release in theatres on March 13, ahead of the sequel’s March 19 release.
According to the trade website Sacnilk, as of 2 PM on Saturday, the paid premieres of Dhurandhar 2 have collected ₹27.78 crore. With the film already seeing strong occupancy in regions like Andhra Pradesh and Nagaland, the numbers are expected to rise now that bookings have opened. Dhurandhar 2 also has the advantage of releasing in South Indian languages as well as Hindi.
About Dhurandhar 2
Dhurandhar ended by introducing Ranveer’s Hamza Ali Mazari by his real name, Jaskirat Singh Rangi. The film also ends with the death of Baloch leader, Rehman Dakait, played by Akshaye Khanna. Promotional material for Dhurandhar 2 hints that Jaskirat takes over from him as the new kind of Lyrari in Pakistan.
Dhurandhar tells the story of a man sent on an undercover operation to Pakistan by Ajay Sanyal, Director of IB, played by R Madhavan. The fictional tale taps into real-world geopolitical events, specifically the terrorist attacks on India, including the 2008 Mumbai attacks. Dhurandhar 2 will take the story forward with Ranveer, Madhavan, Sara Arjun, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal and others reprising their roles.
The film is releasing in theatres with no competition, as Yash’s Toxic was delayed due to the US-Israel-Iran conflict. It only has Pawan Kalyan’s Ustaad Bhagat Singh as competition in the Telugu states.
