Advance booking for Dhurandhar: The Revenge begins as Ranveer Singh starrer aims for massive opening

Advance bookings for the much-awaited action film Dhurandhar: The Revenge have officially started in cinemas across India, creating strong excitement among movie lovers and trade analysts. The film, which stars Ranveer Singh in the lead role, is expected to be one of the biggest box office releases of the year.

According to trade reports, ticket bookings began recently and the response from audiences has already been impressive. Many cinema halls in major cities reported strong demand within the first few hours of ticket sales.

Industry tracking website Sacnilk reported that the film’s advance booking numbers quickly crossed Rs 27.34 crore in gross collections across India. With additional ticket sales and block bookings being counted, the total advance revenue has already reached about Rs 32.09 crore.

Trade experts believe that the advance booking numbers could rise significantly over the next few days. By the time the opening weekend arrives, the film’s advance ticket sales are expected to cross Rs 50 crore.

If these predictions come true, the film may record one of the biggest opening days in Indian cinema history. According to early estimates, the movie could collect close to Rs 100 crore on its opening day at the box office.

The film is being produced on a large scale and is being marketed as a high-budget action thriller with an intense story and strong visual appeal. The makers have promised audiences a cinematic experience filled with action sequences, dramatic moments, and an engaging spy narrative.

The excitement surrounding the film has also increased because it is the sequel to the earlier Dhurandhar film. Sequels often benefit from the popularity of their previous instalments, and fans are eager to see how the story continues in this new chapter.

Another factor helping the film is the festive release period. The movie is scheduled to arrive in theatres around several important festivals, which traditionally bring larger audiences to cinemas.

Because of these factors, many film analysts believe the movie could become one of the biggest openings of 2026.

Star cast and grand release plans

The film features an impressive cast led by Ranveer Singh, who plays the central character in this action-packed story of revenge and espionage. Known for his energetic performances and versatile acting, Ranveer is expected to deliver another powerful role in the film.

Alongside him, veteran actor R. Madhavan plays the role of Ajay Sanyal, a strategic mastermind who plays an important role in the storyline.

The film also features Arjun Rampal as Major Iqbal, a dangerous intelligence officer connected to Pakistan’s spy network. His character is expected to add intensity and tension to the film’s narrative.

Another major name in the cast is Sanjay Dutt, who appears as SP Chaudhary Aslam, a powerful and commanding police officer.

Apart from these leading actors, the film also includes performances by Sara Arjun, Rakesh Bedi, and Danish Pandor in supporting roles. Together, the cast brings a mix of experienced performers and fresh faces to the story.

The movie is presented by Jio Studios and produced by B62 Studios. The project is written, directed, and produced by Aditya Dhar, who is known for directing large-scale action films.

The production team also includes producers Jyoti Deshpande and Lokesh Dhar.

One of the major highlights of the film’s release strategy is its wide language reach. The movie will be released in five languages — Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada — allowing it to reach audiences across different parts of India.

The worldwide theatrical release of the film is scheduled for March 19, 2026. The timing of the release has been carefully planned because it coincides with important festivals such as Gudi Padwa and Ugadi, and comes shortly before Eid al-Fitr.

Festive periods often lead to higher cinema attendance, which could further boost the film’s opening collections.

Overall, the strong advance bookings, star-studded cast, and large-scale release plan have created high expectations for the film. If audience response remains strong, Dhurandhar: The Revenge could become one of the biggest box office successes of the year and possibly set new records for opening day collections in Indian cinema.
