The excitement around Ranveer Singh's upcoming spy thriller movie Dhurandhar is expected to be higher, but the advance ticket sale shows a decent rather than spectacular start.
The full-fledged advance booking of this film, headlined by Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, and Arjun Rampal, started early in the morning today, four days ahead of its December 5, 2025, release.
According to reports received till 9 am on December 1st, approximately 8,500 tickets have been sold across the top two national multiplex chains, PVR Inox and Cinepolis, for the opening day.
This is a decent number, but considering it is a film of this magnitude a legitimate "big tentpole" movie it looks like the initial rush of audiences might be somewhat lower than expected.
One factor that could be contributing to this moderate advance sale is possibly the mixed reception the film's trailer has gotten from the public.
Big-budget action movies thrive off of creating immense excitement from the first look, and 'Dhurandhar' just doesn't seem to have hit that mark quite yet.
The production cost of the movie is pretty high, which means it needs a huge opening day collection. According to industry experts, based on trends in the current sale of tickets, it will gather around Rs. 15 crore net on the opening day.
The figure is decent, but it is below par for a film headlined by a star like Ranveer Singh, especially with such a strong line-up.
'Dhurandhar' still has four important days left until its grand release. Much better organic momentum is expected for this film starting tomorrow.
For a movie mounted on a canvas this big, it's expected that the final ticket sales across national chains would cross the 1 lakh mark.
Crossing this mark is also critical in terms of justifying its budget and star power. This film, 'Dhurandhar,' will be a long one with 212 minutes of running time, distributed under the Jio Studios banner.
The audience can already book tickets online and at the counter for this Friday's release on December 5. The film might gain steam, but over the next few days, the advance booking will be crucial to ensure it opens as a blockbuster.
