Bold opening: Dhurandhar aims for a strong start, but momentum is essential to translate anticipation into solid numbers.
Dhurandhar, the spy-action thriller starring Ranveer Singh and directed by Aditya Dhar, has begun its advance bookings with promising, yet not fully explosive, numbers. By 11:00 PM on December 2, 2025, bookings across major national chains—PVR Inox and Cinepolis—had reached about 40,000 tickets for the opening day.
The early pace showed healthy interest yesterday, but today’s sales dipped slightly, which is something the makers will want to reverse with two days to go before release. If pre-sales accelerate on both tomorrow and the following day, the film could push past the 1 lakh ticket mark in advance bookings and potentially approach around 1.25 lakh. However, final totals will hinge on how tomorrow’s momentum unfolds.
Forecasts place Dhurandhar’s opening in the Rs. 14 crore to Rs. 18 crore net range, a figure that may not fully align with the project’s scale and ensemble cast. Nevertheless, box office performance remains inherently unpredictable. A positive reception could spark stronger bookings for evening and night shows, nudging the final tally higher.
