“Dhurandhar 2” is creating a storm at the box office with sensational advance bookings in both the domestic market and North America.
The film has already set a benchmark by becoming one of the fastest Hindi films to cross $1.7 million in premiere advance sales overseas.
Trade estimates suggest that “Dhurandhar 2” is comfortably heading towards a $2 million-plus premiere gross.
Additionally, it has amassed close to $5 million in advance ticket sales for the entire opening weekend in North America, indicating a massive start.
However, the big target ahead is the all-time North America opening day record set by Prabhas’s “Kalki 2898 AD.”
The sci-fi epic, released in 2024, collected a staggering $5,562,531 on its first day, including premiere shows — a record that still stands unbeaten for any Indian film in the region.
For “Dhurandhar 2” to surpass this milestone, it will need to complement its expected $2 million premiere haul with an additional $3.5 million on day one — a challenging but not impossible feat given its current momentum.
With a day still left for premiere shows, all eyes are on whether “Dhurandhar 2” can rewrite history and dethrone “Kalki 2898 AD” at the North American box office.
Notably, the film is achieving these impressive numbers with regular ticket pricing, unlike some Telugu biggies that benefited from price hikes, making its performance even more remarkable.
