Overwhelming Response for Dhurandhar 2: Mumbai, Hyderabad, and Bangalore Face Capacity Crunch as Demand for Shows Soars
Dhurandhar 2 is creating an unstoppable wave at the box office, with ticket sales reaching unprecedented levels. Just five days away from its paid previews, the film is already facing capacity issues at numerous centres, as most tickets have sold out. On-ground analysts report intense demand in cities like Mumbai, Hyderabad, and Bangalore, where show availability is struggling to keep up with eager audiences.
Now, looking at the response, let us start with Mumbai, the city has sold 50% of its tickets, while Hyderabad and Bangalore are even more impressive with 75% and 60% pre-sales respectively. Fans are pressuring exhibitors to open advance bookings for the entire weekend, desperate to secure their seats early. The frenzy around Dhurandhar 2 is the most intense Indian cinema has seen in years, drawing comparisons only to the blockbuster phenomenon of Baahubali 2 in 2017.
Advance bookings for the weekend are expected to open tomorrow morning as paid previews face limited supply. Financially, Dhurandhar 2 has already raked in Rs. 27 crore from paid previews alone, with projections aiming to reach Rs. 35 crore by release day. The total paid preview collections could hit an astonishing Rs. 40 crore which seems to be a historic figure that surpasses the previous record of Rs. 10 crore held by Stree 2 by a massive margin.
In terms of ticket sales at national multiplex chains, Dhurandhar 2 has sold 2.60 lakh tickets across the top three multiplexes during paid previews, with expectations to reach 3.50 lakh tickets—potentially setting a record that could stand for years. All eyes are now on the full-scale pre-sales for opening day and the weekend, starting tomorrow, as the film looks poised to shatter box office records.
