The Hindi version is leading the charge, contributing the bulk of ticket sales. Meanwhile, dubbed versions in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam and Kannada are also adding to the overall momentum, despite facing competition from Ustaad Bhagat Singh starring Pawan Kalyan.
The film’s paid previews, scheduled for March 18, have already delivered impressive numbers. Over 7.83 lakh tickets have been sold, bringing in Rs 40.55 crore. Combined with Day 1 bookings, total advance sales in India have crossed 12.5 lakh tickets and are nearing Rs 70 crore.

Exhibitors are responding quickly to the demand. Multiplex chains in cities like Mumbai, Pune and Ahmedabad have added late-night and early-morning shows, some starting as early as 2 am. The film’s long runtime of nearly four hours has also led to strategic scheduling changes.
In a notable shift, Mumbai’s iconic Maratha Mandir has altered its traditional screening of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. The classic film’s long-running 11:30 am slot has been moved to accommodate additional shows of Dhurandhar: The Revenge. Notably, this marks a rare change in its historic run.
