Ranveer Singh is back — and the box office numbers suggest he is about to make history. Dhurandhar: The Revenge, directed by Aditya Dhar, releases on March 19, 2026, and early projections have the film eyeing a staggering ₹580 to ₹620 crore in its extended four-day opening weekend. If those numbers hold, ₹1000 crore in 10 to 12 days is not just possible — it looks like a cakewalk.
Day-Wise Box Office Prediction
| Day | Details | Projected Collection |
|---|---|---|
| Day 1 | Wed Premieres + Thursday | ₹200 – ₹225 Cr |
| Day 2 | Friday (Opening Day) | ₹110 – ₹125 Cr |
| Day 3 | Saturday | ₹140 – ₹150 Cr |
| Day 4 | Sunday | ₹145 – ₹155 Cr |
| Total | Extended Opening Weekend | ₹580 – ₹620 Cr |
The Advance Booking Story
The numbers backing these projections are not mere speculation — they are grounded in extraordinary pre-sales. Dhurandhar: The Revenge crossed ₹50 crore in worldwide advance bookings days before release, with paid previews alone generating over ₹21 crore nett in India. The film also crossed the ₹30 crore gross mark in domestic previews, making it only the third Bollywood film in history to sell over one lakh tickets in national chains in the first 24 hours of sales — joining Pathaan and Jawan in elite company.

Internationally, the film is equally on fire. North America alone contributed over ₹27 crore to the overseas pre-sales tally, with total overseas opening weekend advances crossing ₹35 crore. The USA is targeting a $2 million+ premiere night, which would be a landmark for any Bollywood sequel.
Why These Numbers Make Sense
The original Dhurandhar (2025) left audiences on a massive cliffhanger, and the hunger for The Revenge has been building for months. Add to that the fact that this release lands on Gudi Padwa, Ugadi, and Eid al-Fitr — a rare triple festival alignment that gives the film a near-perfect commercial window. The film also releases across five languages: Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada, opening up pan-India theatrical reach that few Bollywood films enjoy.
Aditya Dhar, who last gave us Uri: The Surgical Strike, is known for delivering tightly wound action thrillers that hold strong on weekdays. The cast — Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, and R. Madhavan — is arguably the biggest ensemble Bollywood has assembled in years.
The ₹1000 Crore Target
If Dhurandhar: The Revenge opens anywhere near the ₹580-620 crore range and maintains the kind of weekday hold that Aditya Dhar films typically command, the ₹1000 crore mark within 10 to 12 days is entirely achievable. This would place it firmly among the all-time Bollywood blockbusters and make Ranveer Singh’s return one of the biggest comebacks in Hindi cinema history.
All eyes are on Wednesday night. The premieres begin March 18 — and the box office clock is already ticking.
