Bollywood superstar Ranveer Singh is preparing for his grand return to cinema screens with the highly anticipated action thriller Dhurandhar, as advance bookings officially opened this morning, exactly six days before its nationwide release.
Dhurandhar Advance Booking Numbers Revealed
According to data from industry tracker Sacnilk, Dhurandhar has secured 2,246 shows across India for its opening day. The film has already demonstrated strong early interest from audiences, with 2,755 tickets sold during the initial advance booking phase, generating ₹15.91 lakh in revenue.
