Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge scripted history in its advance sales. The film will start preview at 5 PM across India, and just before the first show is played, the Ranveer Singh starrer has closed its pre-sales at 8.75 lakh tickets in the top two national chains, PVRINOX and Cinepolis, for the opening day, including premieres. The film had dubbed versions as well, including which it was over 9 lakh, but these shows were cancelled due to censor delays.
Breaking down the number, around 4.60 lakh tickets were sold only for its Wednesday paid premieres, while the movie recorded 4.15 lakh admissions for Day 1. The Thursday final sales are expected to close around the 5 lakh mark, depending on how it performs in the final hours.
