Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has kicked off its theatrical run with a powerful start at the box office, driven by massive bookings and strong paid preview numbers. Trade estimates suggest the Ranveer Singh-led action thriller collected around Rs 44 crore net in India from preview screenings alone, positioning it among the biggest early openers in recent Bollywood history.
The sequel has gained success through three factors, which include franchise recall, aggressive marketing efforts, and fan excitement about Singh’s return to director Aditya Dhar’s espionage universe. The first full weekend of the movie will show how audiences will continue to watch it based on current attendance patterns, which show people are still interested in metro cities and mass distribution areas.
Audience assessments show that Ranveer Singh delivers an intense performance that builds up through the movie’s extensive action sequences. The audience has praised the artistic set designs, which create emotional battles and reveal unexpected story developments that build from the first movie’s foundation.
The film has received some negative feedback because its running time stretches too long and its second half shows inconsistent pacing. Some viewers believe that the screenplay depends too much on visual effects, which causes brief interruptions to the story’s flow. The social media buzz about this movie stays mostly positive, which indicates that people will talk about it during its important first days.

Industry trackers expect the film to deliver a massive opening day total in the Rs 125–150 crore global gross range, including previews. The overseas markets have shown strong advance sales, which increases the possibility of reaching record-breaking weekend results. The system continued to function normally despite multiple show delays and local screening cancellations, which created some disruptions.
The audience reaction to Dhurandhar 2 will determine its success as a Bollywood film, which will bring audiences back to theaters in 2026. The next few days will show whether the spy sequel maintains its initial success and turns its high expectations into sustained box office success.
