Bollywood is well and truly back! The Aditya Dhar-directed 'Dhurandhar: The Revenge', starring Ranveer Singh, Arjun Rampal and Sanjay Dutt, is all set to wreak havoc at the box office upon its theatrical release. The paid previews for the project will be held on Wednesday evening, and the hype is unprecedented. 'Dhurandhar 2' has already broken the record for the biggest paid previews, going past the number recorded by 'Stree 2' in advance booking itself. Looking at the current demand, the theatre chains have also added more shows to their regular programming, starting as early as 2 AM.

According to industry tracker Sacnilk, 'Dhurandhar: The Revenge' has sold 8,11,036 tickets for the paid previews itself, grossing Rs 36.56 crore. Going by the current trajectory, the Ranveer Singh-starrer is all set to collect in the Rs 35 crore-plus range on Wednesday in paid previews alone.
Speaking of Day 1, 'Dhurandhar 2' has sold more than 5 lakh tickets so far, grossing Rs 22.39 crore. It's now a given that once the box office collection for the opening day is made public, the figure will be north of Rs 100 crore, as it will include cumulative paid previews.
The music album of ‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge’ is being launched today evening. The first installment’s album was a major hit among fans.

'Dhurandhar', which released in December 2025, hit the theatres in just the Hindi language, but the second installment is being released in multiple languages - Hindi, Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu and Kannada.
The runtime of 'Dhurandhar 2' is 3 hours 55 minutes, and according to Hindustan Times, the major theatre chains have kept a 4-hour 40-minute window for each show, including trailers, the interval, and the turnaround period between shows.
The hype for 'Dhurandhar 2' is such that the iconic 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge', starring Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol, which is being screened at the Maratha Mandir, has been pushed to an early morning slot. 'Dhurandhar 2' is all set to get the 11:30 AM slot at the uber-popular venue.
Speaking of 'Dhurandhar 2', the film also stars R Madhavan, Sara Arjun and Rakesh Badi. As per reports, Akshaye Khanna is all set to feature in a flashback sequence. Akshaye Khanna's character, Rehman Dakait, had become a fan favourite. However, he was killed by Ranveer's character in the first installment, hence it would be interesting to see how the makers utilise him.
The first 'Dhurandhar' minted more than Rs 1300 crore worldwide and is still playing in theatres over three months after its December release. According to several trade experts, the sequel may have enough legs to gross more than Rs 2000 crore worldwide.
