MUMBAI: Ranveer Singh’s highly anticipated action saga, Dhurandhar: The Revenge, has stormed the box office even before its official worldwide release. The film’s paid premiere shows on March 18 have collected a staggering Rs 52 crore in India, shattering all previous records for a Hindi film.
According to tracking website Sacnilk, the film’s net collection (gross minus taxes) from the premiere stands at an impressive Rs 44 crore. The gross collection of Rs 52 crore came from a massive 12,292 shows across the country.
A Historic Start
This phenomenal figure has already surpassed the opening day collection of the first part, Dhurandhar, which had earned Rs 33 crore on its first day. Despite some initial hiccups—including the cancellation of several shows scheduled for 5:30 PM due to a delay in content delivery (with refunds being initiated)—fans thronged to theatres in unprecedented numbers.
