Can Ranveer Singh's Spy Thriller 'Dhurandhar' Live Up to the Hype? Advance Bookings Show Promise, But Will It Be Enough?
The buzz surrounding Ranveer Singh's upcoming spy action drama, Dhurandhar, is palpable, but here’s where it gets intriguing: despite selling an impressive 40,000 tickets across top national chains like PVR Inox and Cinepolis for its opening day, the film’s advance booking momentum seems to be slowing down. With just two days left before its December 5, 2025 release, the question on everyone’s mind is: Can it pick up the pace in time?
Directed by Aditya Dhar and penned by Mohit Dixit, Dhurandhar has already sparked curiosity with its star-studded ensemble cast, including Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Akshaye Khanna, and Sara Arjun. The film, rated 'A' and boasting a runtime of 3 hours and 34 minutes, promises a gripping narrative. However, the current advance booking trends suggest an opening weekend collection of Rs. 14 crore to Rs. 18 crore net—a figure that, controversially, some argue doesn’t justify the film’s budget and high-profile cast. But here’s the kicker: the box office is notoriously unpredictable. A positive audience reception could fuel spot bookings for evening and night shows, potentially pushing the numbers higher.
And this is the part most people miss: The film’s success hinges on its ability to maintain or accelerate its pre-sales momentum over the next 48 hours. If it does, it could cross the 1 lakh ticket sales mark, closing advance bookings around 1.25 lakh. But will it? That remains to be seen.
For now, fans can secure their tickets online or at cinema counters. Stay tuned for more updates, and let’s spark a debate: Do you think *Dhurandhar will surpass expectations, or is it destined to fall short? Share your thoughts in the comments!*
